We were having a celebratory dinner at a vinyard in the Hunter Valley. Mercure provided a perfect central location to stop. Beautiful surroundings, even if it was raining, covered walkways and an evening fire in a cosy lounge.

Overall a great experience. In line with the beauty of the Hunter Valley. It would be great if the menu at the restaurant would be more flexible. For those who do not necessarily want 2 courses.

We were very pleased that we were able to check in early upon arrival and also have a later check out. It made it easier for our stay. The property is beautiful, we loved the interior design and liked that we could use to pool table and the hot tub. Our room was very clean and had all the we required for our stay. The beds were very comfortable as well. Only suggestion we had was it would be nice to have more light around the pool and outdoor area for when walking from pool to our rooms. Overall, great stay and very convenient to local shops, food and winery.

I enjoyed our stay more than my husband. He didn’t think it was as clean as it should have been. He killed a couple of beetles in the washroom and they were still on the floor after it was cleaned.

I would rate the property as a 3.5 star. Our accommodation at the property seemed to be very tired. We had mould in the shower and paint off in various locations. Very old style and certainly not value for money at $329 per night. Disappointing to say the least. We certainly would not be in a rush to stay there again.
