"Rydge's Resort had a very warm and inviting atmosphere. We were upgraded to a Villa, fabulous! It has plenty of dining options and the buffet breakfast was superb, catered for all our dietary needs. Would definitely stay there again. "
"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."
"Can't recommend this highly enough. What a fantastic experience. The staff work so hard and were so welcoming. To see Giraffes, Rhinos, Ostriches, Impalas...etc right outside our accom was so special. The only negative I could find was that there wasn't enough time from check-in to get settled and take it all in before the sundown tour. We all agreed that 2 nights would be perfect to fully experience it all and get some downtime to enjoy and watch the animals with a drink from our balcony. ...
"This was our second time staying here and we'll definitely be back!
Such a lovely hotel in a great location - close to the main village and gardens, and lots of nice wineries and restaurants also just a quick drive away."
"Great place to stay. So quiet, always clean and smells fresh, great sized rooms with comfy beds and friendly staff. Highly recommend and I won't stay elsewhere when working in the Hunter."
"This is my second time at this Motel and the service quality still an excellent as the first time I visited.
Recommend to all solo, couple, family or travelers."
"We arrived after a terrible storm which had wiped out power for most of Armidale. They were super helpful and we were made to feel very welcome despite having no power!
A lovely clean room and super comfortable beds!"
