Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is very underwhelming in person, online looks spectacular however, our king bedroom was very small, no natural lighting and felt like we were in a shoe box, our room had cob webs and was poorly cleaned, the bathroom towel racks were not heated, the bathroom fan did not work and we had troubles with the air conditioning, the property is fine but overall our stay was nothing exciting, the hospitality was average and nothing out of the ordinary, we were hoping for more based on the reviews however both me and my partner would not recommend this place to anyone, save your money and put it towards something more exciting!

Room was nicely decorated and well kept, but overall it does not come across as a luxury accommodation. The staffs are friendly and welcoming but those at breakfast could do with better efficiency and higher service standards, for example, they do not show us to a table and took a while to come back for your drinks and hot food order.

We’ve stayed at Spicers Guesthouse several times, and it has become a favourite for accommodation in Pokolbin. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, ie they are able to help with most queries without having to consult with supervisors or managers. The rooms are clean, spacious enough, and well appointed.

We had such a beautiful stay here and have already recommended it to everyone we know. The spa/pool was a dream and everything was so peaceful. The restaurant was delicious aswell. The only 2 baby flaws I had was that there was some rubbish by the spa on our first day and it was still there the following morning (it had just blown down a bit). It was only like a wrapper or something plastic but rubbish in general grosses me out. The other was that the big outdoor fireplace wasn’t put on and we were really looking forward to sitting there. We did end up sitting up the top and chatting with some other lovely couples but it would have been nice to sit down the bottom there. Otherwise everything was 10/10. The check in was super easy, the room was clean and the views were lovely. We will definitely be returning

During our 5-day trip to Hunter Valley and Port Stephens, this hotel was by far the best choice we made. For our anniversary trip, the hotel staff upgraded us to the Hunter Suite and surprised us with a lovely bottle of local sparkling wine—such a thoughtful touch! We also had dinner at Botanica, one of their associated restaurants, located about a 15-minute drive from the hotel. The meal was excellent and well worth the trip. Breakfast at the hotel was another highlight, as we enjoyed it outdoors in a serene and picturesque setting. One of the most memorable moments was sipping wine while watching kangaroos hop around the property—a truly magical experience. The hotel grounds are stunning, and the attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. Overall, a beautiful property with outstanding service that made our anniversary trip extra special.

レンタカーで到着。 12時頃の到着だったがすぐに部屋に案内された。 部屋は白を基調としたシンプルなインテリアで居心地がよい。リネン類、ベッドの質、インテリアなどのメンテナンス状況も申し分ない。 宿泊客が利用できる暖炉のあるラウンジがとても居心地がよかった。 朝食はアラカルトスタイル。 Hunter Valley近辺の質の高い野菜、卵、パンが使われたシンプルなもので、このホテルのセンスのよさが出ていた。
