Peace in amongst all the action.

The Carriages is such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay in the Hunter. So central but it seems like it's so far away from all the activity and very secluded.

The Carriages stay was just what my wife n I needed, a log fire, luxury bed and home comforts. The property offers relaxation and a swimming pool/tennis court. Highly recommend in such a convenient spot to the Hunter Winery region. Thanks for a lovely stay

The location is beautiful and the hosts are so welcoming & lovely. It is a guest house so you are connected directly to your Neighbour’s. It was enjoyable for us but just to say, your Neighbour’s are important!

Great hosts and convenient location but the property needs serious renovation - air conditioning unit didn’t make much difference in the room when the temperature outside was 30+ C, shower didn’t work properly either as it sprayed all directions when it was on and furniture is very old and tired. At the moment, I would rate it as 2+ star hotel at the best.

A lovely place to stay. The room is big with everything you need. The bed is comfy too. The best thing about his place is the nature around. You could wake up to see kangaroos, rabbits, wild ducks and more around the property. The lovely breakfast basket prepared by the property owner is delivered to your door step. We had our croissants and sour dough bread, butter spread, fresh fruits, orange juice etc, under the tree in front of our rooms. What a great relaxing place. Highly recommended!
