Find the Cheap Lovedale Hotels

Overall this was a great location for camping and visiting wineries nearby. The staff were really friendly and helpful the entire time - from giving us local tips for wineries and shops, to helping with transport. Special thanks to Tony for jumpstarting our van! We used the communal facilities which were kept clean, with complimentary shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. We were even able to have a drink on the sunloungers and keep our wine cool in the staff fridge! The place is under new ownership and there were clearly some discreet renovations and improvements going on but that didnt bother us at all. Would definitely stay here again, look forward to seeing what they end up doing with the place as its a lovely spot with beautiful views and potential. Kelly and Adriaan

Great location at Lovedale in the Hunter Valley. Accommodation in one of the lodges was excellent. All pretty modern and well appointed with our lodge rooms (3) each having a separate bathroom including one that’s adapted. Kitchen facilities were really good however I think Adina missed a trick by not including a complimentary bottle of wine which would have been a nice touch., that said there was olive oil. We stayed early week so the restaurant wasn’t open but there is the Mockingbird just across the road if you want something for lunch. Given the late season, dinner options are limited but if you’re spending all day on wine and cheese then that’s not really an issue. A few of the party also used the spa and the massages were very good so that’s also another selling point. Overall, good location with lovely views over the olive grove and vineyard and very modern lodges.

location is good, convenient to everywhere in Hunter Valley. Great for families with kids, lots of stuff to play with, though most of them are open only at weekends or school holidays, and when I go there on 17/18 Dec., some of them are still not open or not working? The brekkie is quite good, lots of choice.

Tower Lodge is truly a 5 star experience, from our arrival to our departure our stay was truly memorable. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and shown to our suite which was one of the most beautiful rooms I have had the pleasure in staying in , the high ceilings , the open fire and the sumptuous bathroom , truly luxurious. Breakfast and dinner is included in the room rate which is something we would generally avoid but would advise everyone not to avoid as the food is 5 star fine dining using local ingredients and cooked by a chef who you know just loves what he does . The level of service and friendliness of all the staff was outstanding and they could not do enough for us with bookings for wineries and personal gin and whiskey tastings which are a must . Finally I have to mention the owner Michael who introduced himself to us on our first night and was a fountain of knowledge to the history of the lodge and all the other parts of the business . His passion was infectious and made our stay more enjoyable. We will 100% return if we ever return to Australia.

We always enjoy our time at the convent. Apart from the beautiful rooms and grounds, what makes the stay the best are the welcoming and friendly staff who remember us. Jessica is always forefront in our minds with here excellent knowledge and great sense of humour. William is a familiar and kind face and always provides good service and great coffee. Within circa 1876 we always enjoy the wonderful food made with local ingredients and are also impressed with Karen and her friendly welcoming hug. For a relaxing and comfortable stay with top service we highly recommend the Convent.

What a little gem of a place… We booked two nights to visit as many wineries as possible around Pokolbin and this lodge was the ideal place to base ourselves from. The pictures don’t do it justice but our lodge looked out across their small vineyard, the lodge had everything we needed and was well Appointed. After a days wine tasting we were able to throw ourselves in the pool excellent… wake up in the early morning and you can watch the young kangaroos having “boxing” matches in the morning sun…Then go eat in their attached restaurant what was a French cuisine and pretty impressive quality… either way it was a winner ..
