Reviews for Rydges Resort Hunter Valley
Lynzey Murphy
We stayed with our 3yr old, 2yr old and 4m old just for three nights. It was a lovely time away with the perks being the buffet breakfast (fantastic coffee and egg meals likes eggs Benedict and avocado on toast), the water park, and the lovely green surroundings of the golf course. The kids loved the playful beds in the kids suite. The hotel is in close proximity to lovely restaurants and the hunter valley zoo. The only points of consideration would be: 1. Considering We stayed in the kids suite, it was disappointing there wasn’t a single bit of plastic or unbreakable cups or plates. 2. The kids suite “outside play area” is unsheltered and that rendered it mostly unusable space given the 30degree days. 3. The waterpark is not heated and the kids were freezing. It’s also not clear on their website that there is actually a height minimum for the waterpark. Our 2yr old was just under the 91cm recommended height but he continued on and was ok. 4. It’s obviously very close to the airport so be prepared for the near constant sounds of aircraft’s (although my 2yr old would say this was a pro). Overall, it was fantastic and we will be back in future. I’m sure we have created lasting memories for our toddlers here.

5 stars for value and convenience! We stayed here for a family friend’s wedding nearby and only had a short time at the bar after the ceremony. We caught a glimpse of the swimming area and water park—it was 35 degrees, so not being able to take a dip was a tease! It definitely looks like a great spot for families. The rooms were clean, the shower could probably do with a deep clean and the air conditioning kept us comfy through the night. I would go back if we were in the Hunter Valley region for an event and needed overnight accomodation.

I’m amazed. Every time I go I always have a holiday at this Hotel the pool is amazing the hot tub is fantastic including the water park AMAZING! I’ve went here twice and no regrets. I love how the pool is so clean and beautiful people eat in the pool but don’t leave a single crumb in the pool which I love! The food is FABULOUS and I love how anytime you need a towel the place is ALWAYS stocked and the bin for the dirty towels. SO WORTH IT! I also love how the rooms look like they are houses on the outside it’s a good look keep it up!

Our experience was quite good. But there were just some minor points that need to be addressed like cleaning to pool deck areas from patrons used drinks/plates/towels and a few upkeep like some cleaning/maintenance under awnings and repainting bits and pieces here and there. Has potential to get 5 stars in my eyes, just lacking a little attention to detail. But a lovely place to stay, young kids love the pool and water play area and the gym is decent for a hotel.

We spent the Australia Day long weekend here with the kids and a couple of their friends. We stayed in one of the villas which was bigger than we expected and very comfortable. Because of the long weekend the resort was very busy and we found it difficult to find space in the pool area. We enjoyed an excellent dinner in red salt restaurant which we have dined in before. The meals here are always very enjoyable and the staff professional and friendly.
