Surprised my elderly mother a weekend away in the Hunter Valley! We stayed back in October 2024 for her birthday. As part of our stay we also had complimentary tastings to nearby wineries and breakfast included the next morning. Great history here, along with rooms that give visitors a chance to walk through and learn more about this beautiful place. I appreciated the staff for their service and kindness. My 74 yr old mother was delighted and blown away to stay here, you could tell by all the photos (see below). I say sassy, because she couldnt contain her excitement and wanting a picture in almost every location! That in its self tells me she was extremely pleased with her visit without saying anything at all. We enjoyed every moment here. Would love to return very soon. Thanks for having us.

You had be at Convent! This quaint and historic building was such a treat to stay at when wine tasting in Hunter Valley. Upon our arrival (with many bottles of wine in tow), the staff came out to retrieve them and store them properly for us. They were so wonderful and kind. The views of the kangaroos in the distance and watching the sunrise on the porch, were magical!

This is a great place and particularly dog friendly. Other hotels in the area claim to be but are not really in practice. The building, surrounds and staff are all lovely and the stay peaceful. We will definitely be back.

We have always loved staying at The Convent and consider it one of our favorite getaways. However, during our recent visit, we noticed a lack of attention to detail in several areas that significantly impacted our experience. A few key issues we encountered: Cleanliness: Cobwebs and bugs were present on all windows and the ceiling. Additionally, plastic and what appeared to be a piece of cheese were left under the lounge from a previous guest. Mosquitoes & Noise: We were kept awake both nights due to mosquitoes and were woken up at 5 AM by staff cars arriving in the car park. Suite 22 Privacy Issues: Unlike previous stays in the studio rooms, Suite 22 had little to no privacy, with both guests and staff walking past and a clear view into our windows from both sides. The outdoor restaurant area also faced our room. To maintain privacy, we had to keep the shutters fully closed, making the room dark. Additionally, the lack of fly screens meant we couldn't open windows for ventilation. Amenities & Maintenance: The in-room phone was non-functional when we attempted to order a coffee, and we were told it would not be fixed. There was no acknowledgment that this was an issue or that guests should be able to call when needed. The kettle and coffee machine still had water left in them from a previous guest. The bathroom was poorly designed, with no space to store toiletries, forcing us to keep them on the floor. There was also no toilet seat, and while the manager mentioned bringing a small cupboard for storage, it never arrived. We appreciate the manager's acknowledgment of some of these issues and the thoughtful gesture of a bottle of champagne. However, for a 5-star luxury hotel, this stay fell far below the standard we have come to expect, especially considering the premium price we paid. We wanted to share this feedback in the hope that these concerns can be addressed to maintain the high-quality experience The Convent is known for. Best regards, Rebbecca
