Everything about Lane Retreat was perfect—the place and scenery were absolutely beautiful, just as we expected. However, one thing felt a bit lacking. We were there to celebrate our anniversary and had paid $130 for the special preparation. Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed to find just a few roses and a handwritten note, which didn’t quite meet our expectations. We had to make additional efforts to prepare for our special day ourselves.
This is simply a recommendation: for special events, it would be wonderful to go the extra mile to ensure customers feel truly celebrated.
That being said, Lane Retreat is an incredible place overall, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would still highly recommend it to others!
A clean, calm hotel in a secluded area. Surrounded by dozens of wineries, the hotel's location is perfect for exploring new and exciting adventures.
Extremely friendly staff, beautiful landscape and quiet environment. I would definitely recommend it!
Our stay at Spicers Vineyard Estate in the Hunter Valley was truly exceptional! The property is set amidst beautiful vineyards, offering a serene and picturesque atmosphere perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious and elegantly appointed, with every detail considered for comfort and luxury.
We dined at éRemo Restaurant, the sister restaurant of Spicers Guesthouse, and it was a culinary delight. Every course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor—the Binnie Beef Hunter Valley Wagyu was a standout! The accompanying Thomas wine was superb and perfectly paired with the meal.
We also enjoyed a morning walk along the valley’s scenic trail and were greeted with the sight of hot air balloons floating over the hills—a mesmerizing experience. The entire stay was seamless, the staff were attentive, and the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Hunter Valley in style!
MMrs Kaye TanRecently stayed (July 2024). Check in counter can be found in Mercure Hotel, however, there was no email or sign regarding check in instructions. We had to go and ask from the pub and went back to Mercure which is a bit of a hussle. The room was huge in size but carpets need to be upgraded, it is a bit smelly. Overall, the stay was OK for an overnigth rest.
