Value for money compared to most other places I've stayed in the Hunter. The Lane Retreat is at the upper end, however the provided breakfasts, the view overlooking the ranges and vineyards, and the ease of a receptionless checkin, makes this the go-to for our future stays.

It was a beautiful retreat indeed, we truely enjoyed our stay and the team were responsive and welcoming. We had a small issue during our stay and they resolved it promptly, we were very impressed with the outcome. If you are a coffee lover, there is a cafe catering your morning craves :) we saw many hot air balloons on the sky from our balcony, can’t get better than this! Highly recommended to everyone, we are planning for our next visit already with friends and family.
What a pretty view from balcony! Picture can not do the justice

Beautiful property with amazing surrounds. My husband and I stayed a couple of nights to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and it was lovely. The cabins were lux. It was quiet but we didn't have to drive more than 5 to 10 mins to get to all the premier dining options and vinyards. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautifully appointed cabins , perfect for a relaxing short stay in an idyllic location . Kangaroos played in the distance outside our generous balcony window which looked over the lush , green fields with mountains in the distance. Peaceful, private , and luxurious, including generous breakfast supplies and a coffee machine. We will be back.
