Lou E wrote a review Jan 2020

We loved our stay at Rothbury Escape, a small, quiet place where you can relax and unwind - close enough to all that the Hunter offers (vineyards, restaurants, Hunter Valley Gardens) but away from the busy-ness of Pokolbin.

Rooms are airy and clean, super comfortable beds and with amenities provided e.g. toiletries and tea/coffee. Also provided is provisions for a light breakfast (toast, butter, spreads, cheese, juice, cereal). A bottle of wine was also provided! There is a lovely common area with a full kitchen if you want to cook your own food, a barbecue and lounge area. We didn't use this but would be great if you were staying here as a family or group of friends.

Outside of the rooms is a small private patio that looks out onto the property, you can see horses and wild kangaroos and it was so peaceful to sit out here with a glass of wine and a book. Just perfect!

Christine was super helpful and accommodating! And it was so nice to stay on a property with animals - two goats, pigs, horses, chickens and dogs! Perfect Hunter Valley stay 😊

We were welcomed by John, who was able to offer helpful info re nearby restaurants and cafes. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet, while representing good value. Though our stay was short, we were fortunate with the weather, allowing us to enjoy the sunset, and a very pleasant coffee overlooking the dam in the morning. The short drive to the Winery Cellar Doors is convenient, while retaining peace and tranquility.
We'll certainly visit again, and would have no hesitation in recommending Rothbury Escape.

Booked here based on reviews but didn't realise it would be more Motel type accommodation. We were looking forward to a nice continental breakfast but told there was "fruit" and "cereals" ready in the room for the next morning. We found some weetbix and SPC fruit boxes! Cheese platter consisted of bega cheese and ritz crackers. Not terrible for the price and has beautiful views but didn't meet expectations.

We called Rothbury Escape to book a room for 3 nights with our dog and cat, we spoke to Christine and told her that we might be arriving late due to driving from Melbourne, Victoria.
The cost for 3 nights due to it being public holidays came to $795.

We finally arrived after driving over 12hours at 10pm at te Rothbury Escape, where I found we weren’t greeted in the nicest way, but as tired as we were, all we wanted was to go to the room and go to sleep.

After going through all these forms (covid) etc we drive up to the room Christine gave us.
To walk into a stench that smelt like water damage/mould. You weren’t able to stay in the room as the smell was seriously bad.
So we walk out and try to call Christine. (This was 2minutes after we said goodbye to her) but after multiple calls, no answer. So we drive back to the reception in where Christine walks out, after we mention the smell to her, her first response was “I don’t have any other rooms” and maybe just run the water..
Not a normal response like oh, let me check or let me see what else I can do as this is unacceptable.
Basically, we should just accept that room as there’s no other available for $795 + it was 10pm at night and obviously finding other accommodation would’ve been impossible.

Anyway, we requested a refund and one of the last things Christine said was, where are you guys going to go this late?

Christine called us back the next morning at 10am to apologise and to let us know that it wasn’t “mould” that we could smell but water stuck in the drains. She had organised a plumber.

Initially I wasn’t planning to write a review but really I found this appalling. She had 4 other rooms available, but not for pets. So after inconveniencing customers who she knew were driving 12+ hours and letting them pay $795 for a room that really looked like a No star motel, plus I am almost certain that she knew that the room stank, thinking to herself after them driving 12+hours and it being late without other options, they’ll just take it.

Calling the next morning at 10am “sounding” concerned and apologising was nothing more than wanting to prevent a review. There was no concern at 10pm the night before.
Rude and a rip off. Don’t waste your money to this business!

We were booked to stay on Friday 21 October 2022. Our booking was non refundable. This was crystal clear and obvious at the time of booking. However we were to go in the height of the October '22 storm and flood warnings. They let us cancel even though we had a non cancellable booking . We were disappointed to have to cancel even though it was unavoidable because the NSW government and State Emergency Services advised against non-essential travel. We'll be back as soon as we can

We went there to celebrate a special family birthday and had a wonderful time.
We were warmly welcomed by Christine upon arrival and she could not have been more helpful. The rooms were set out very well and were clean and tidy. The camp kitchen was lovely with lounges, tables, chairs, fireplace and TV.
The grounds and views were beautiful and we used the large BBQ regularly.
I highly recommend this resort if you are looking for peaceful surrounds whilst in the Hunter Valley.

My mum and I had a lovely weekend at Rothbury Escape. The room was a good size, very clean and fresh, lovely view, nice patio and quiet. The beds were very comfortable and it had everything we needed. There was a nice bottle of wine and cheese and biscuits along with a light breakfast. The common area was very good with a well stocked kitchen, long table inside, comfortable lounge and fireplace. Outside were more tables, and BBQ. A great place and a fabulous weekend away.

I have never been so appalled at the service I have received. The entire stay we were made to feel like having guests was an annoyance for the owners. The cheese platter is literally a collection of single packets of airplane jatz and bega cheese. I have no clue who has been reviewing this place but I'm writing this so that no one else has to experience this place.

Nice welcome by host the view was very peaceful and relaxing but room not worth $350 a night. This was advertised to include breakfast but on arrival told was a light breakfast , they shouldn't! Have bothered it consisted of a few thin slices of bread and two small cereal boxes would have cost a dollar.
