Hunter valley stays

Rooms are very small, very clean. Beds size is great but hard and because it is two beds next to each other with no topper to cover the middle part it is uncomfortable. Overall stay for the price is it not bad. It is not to far to travel it you visiting the wine country.

Arriving from Newcastle by taxi, we were disappointed to find the dining room and bar were still closed for the Christmas break and had to get local taxi into Kurri Kurri. Cleaning ladies were really helpful with info on courtesy buses. Beautiful, quiet place to stay.

Overall a good stay.

Travellers need to be prepared for what this is. It’s simply a clean, economical room to stay in near the Hunter Valley. It’s not in the wine region, but a very easy drive. It’s in a TAFE campus, so no facilities or attractions within walking distance. The atmosphere is dull and you’ll really just want to be in your room. We arrived on a weekend, so no face to face service but the instructions and contact prior was clear and friendly. The room itself was small but well equipped, the bathroom was spotless, the shower had good water pressure, but I found bed was hard and very uncomfortable. The windows are also small and don’t allow a great deal of air circulation, so you’ll be relying on air conditioning. I’d consider staying there again when wanting to be in the Hunter region during concert period when other hotels are astronomically priced.

"Unique" accommodation

We Were disappointed to find it was not a traditional hotel/motel (even though paying top price) but rooms at an isolated TAFE location. No windows as such and it felt a little like a "prison" without outlook. The fact there was no reception as such made it quite a dislocated entry and unusual environment.

Excellent staging post for a Hunter Valley break

Took my parents here as a part of our trip to the Hunter Valley. Picked this hotel because we figured that this accommodation plus a $50 taxi//Uber each way to join our wine tour was far more sensible than shelling out thousands of dollars for a couple of nights at a more central location. Very glad we did. There's plenty of wildlife around the campus, and the grounds are all used for student training so there's an immaculate cricket ground, golf course, and an on-site winery as well. The campus was deserted when we stayed here, the only reason we knew anyone else was around was the presence of another car in the parking lot. The only downsides were that the staff leave at 5pm on Friday; there's no on-site catering so you have to drive to Kurri or another nearby town for breakfast and dinner. The extractor fans are also quite loud - so if a neighbouring room turns their bathroom light on you have to listen to that for the next ten minutes or so.
