Rydges Resort Hunter Valley
We stayed here purely because we had a wedding to attend and the guest bus stopped here. Unless you’re a family who wants a holiday park ambience, I’d give it a miss. Can’t comment on staff/service because we used self check-in and check out. Convenient drive to Pokolbin region and other ...

The Executive Inn
All the staff were very accommodating. We had a lovely big renovated room with twin beds. The outdoor spa in the pool area is warm enough to use going into winter. Lovely fresh breakfast. There are currently renovations/construction noise, but we were out and about most of it anyhow.

Jesmond Executive Villas
No pay tv although the listing said it was available. I couldn’t cast from my phone to the tv as the tv wasn’t compatible and needed to update the server. Contacted staff and they were no help at all regarding this.

Rydges Newcastle
Great location and overall a decent stay. Nothing fancy but clean and updated rooms. The hallways and stairs could use a more frequent vaccum :) The basement parking has EV chargers (paid) which is great.
