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!

Lovely clean rooms, the ones facing the lake has exceptionally beautiful views. Bathrooms are huge with double showers, but the tiles can get slippery when wet. Breakfast is sufficient and healthy.

Checkin is 3pm. We got there at 2.30pm and tried to checkin. There is no reception area. We found a staff member at the event center and she told us to go to "The Pantry". It's a small store on the premises. This was closed and there was no one about. When we phoned we were told that a text message would be sent to us with the access code at 3pm. This was annoying as the cabins were certainly ready. Aside from this the place was lovely!

The lane retreat is the perfect relaxing break in the Hunter. The retreats are very new, clean and comfortable. Spaced out with a view of the lake it’s wonderful to relax. We even saw some Kangaroos
