The Lodge is at the Branxton end of the Hunter. It's poorly sign posted and easily missed. We were attending "a day on the green" weekend concert (highly recommended) at Bimbadgen Estate so the far end of the Hunter suited our needs. On arrival, there was no record of our reservation?. Not a good start, but to make matters worse,... More

A bit expensive for the dated rooms with stained carpets and loads of spider webs outside. But the bed was good quality and the linen clean, so we got a good nights sleep until the Kookaburras woke us. The people who ran the place were charming and nothing was too much trouble. Signage could be a little larger, nearly drove... More

We arrived tied and hungry after a long drive and whilst we cannot claim that the Lodge is a 5 star accommodation it was clean and tidy and in a lovely setting. I didn't feel that it was overpriced at all and was happy to pay. It had super views and the owbner was very attentive and welcoming. We had... More

Hunter Country Lodge is an affordable weekend escape and it's away from the hustle and bustle of the large resorts in the Hunter Valley. The rooms are basic, clean and fitted with an air conditioner to both warm and cool your room. There is a typical backyard style pool to cool off on a hot day or after a stroll... More

Rustic charm and the room is basic ....yes. The settling, food and wine is amazing and very fulfilling. Value? Room is not too dear.... food pricey but I dare say worth it. Slow cooking at its best and worth the wait. Lovely owners.

It seems like this is one of the cheaper options in the overpriced Hunter Valley. The rooms are rustic and basic but clean and comfy. The hotel and restaurant are at the top of a small hill with a view down to a little lake where Kangaroos bound through. A fantastic outdoorsy setting but for some reason they've plonked a... More

From the internet pictures, we were expecting a lovely quaint country lodge room - what we actually got was an outdated, sad, dirty and shabby experience. Where to start- hair in the bottom of the shower, grubby chairs to sit on, verandah light not working, stains on the carpet, cracked cup, dirty bobby pins in the vanity drawer, beer cap... More

We didn't stay at the property but ate in the restaurant. We were the only two people in the restaurant for a while, it was a Monday night, so it was very quiet but it gave us a chance to talk to the owner who told us a lot about the wines he produces and is obviously a great passion... More

We stayed at the Hunter Country lodge one night and were pretty disappointed. For the price we paid, it really didn't deliver. The room was OK, bed comfortable, though I had to climb under the bed to plug in the electric blanket. There was a smell of mould, though perhaps that could be understood considering 75% of NSW is in... More
