On arrival to Tonic you have an access code that you put into a keypad door there is no nobody on site we never met the owners it was just my husband and and one other couple on the whole property we saw for 5minute's. Breakfast is included each day a magical fairy brings it while you are not there first day was fruit granola jams honeys breads banana breads coffee milk juice second day was croissants ham cheese all included in the price I only have 2 cons about this place number 1 is there is no shower screen before gets extremely wet and not enough towels are provided to clean up the water but on request Towels left magically when we came back from our day out at the moment second issue is the fridge is so close to the door that everytime you open the fridge it's slams into the door. The kitchen area in your room is extremely small and hard to have food but if you want to walk up to Main area there is a main house kind of thing that has a full lounge room for kitchen DVDs TV fireplace tables chairs etc but we did not feel the need to use those facilities are quite comfortable in our room. do not miss the sunsets they are breathtaking views wifi and Internet and TV reception is exceptional. I think a booklet in room on how everything works is truly needed like a welcome book when you go to a hotel just so you know what's what and what you are and not allowed to use. This is not a hotel more like a self-contained Retreat where you can just unwind and reconnect. Will definitely be back one day we had room 7 it was awesome so quite all u can hear is birds and trees. There is an onsite pool and we did not use as weather was not hot enough.10 minutes from Hunter. Your body has no choice but to relax in this environment we have never experienced something like this and we have gone away rooms are spacious clean and have all that you need except for a lounge in the room which would have been nice but bed was extremely comfortable and we use this as a lounge verandah is a wide and spacious again tiny table on verandah would you better with a bigger table so you could fit all your food on it when you're eating dinner / lunch We will definitely come back to this location should we come back to the hunter this is not a child friendly place I do not recommend children here I think it is intended for adults to come and just unwind.

Arrived at Tonic for my birthday weekend and were blown away! Very quiet, lovely view and the breakfasts were amazing!!
Room attended to everyday and has that hotel vibe in a very rural location.
Thankyou for our stay Ian!

The location is great. I love the check in system. The rooms are minimalist which I like, but a person would like to sit on a comfortable chair. There was one in the room leaving number 2 perched on the end of the bed. Breakfast being granola, yogurt and fresh fruit was nice, the second day we were provided croissants with ham and cheese. A choice slip, left in the room would alleviate this problem as I do not eat Pork products. The seating on the verandah is also decidedly uncomfortable. As there is no compendium, you have no idea wether something is to be paid for or not. Now the bathroom, like the concept, but it does not quite work. Water goes everywhere rendering the bathmat useless, I would hate to be using an electrical appliance after a shower. Also if you do send an text message to the owner, do not expect a reply. I do like the concept but little details make for a better stay. I think for the money spent it could be done better.
