The Convent Hunter Valley Hotel - Pokolbin

This hotel boasts a fantastic location, just a short walk from a winery and nearby attractions like the Hunter Valley Gardens.

This hotel had a central position poolside in the garden;)))

The hotel is romantic with nice pool and perfect location poolside in the garden. The staff are very helpful and top-class, managed the parking on-site. Newly remodelled and great-sized rooms in a lovely new england style are accompanied by very good service. Thank you for a really enjoyable stay.

This hotel offers charming, beautiful rooms with a lovely adjoining veranda and a nice shower.

The convent, when at it's original home in Coonambe, New South Wales, was home to nuns, and a boarding school for 16 high school girls, of whom I was one, from 1966 to 1969. Years after having left school, and moving, I learned that it was moved to the Hunter Valley as a holiday resort. I determined to visit at some future point, and on december 16th 2011, I finally had the chance. As we drove down the treelined entrance, I was overwhelmed by it's beauty, and was transformed by it's grandeur. It was as I'd remembered. Thanks to the wonderful staff, who made our stay memorable, and to Peppers, for retaining the charm, and the original appearance of the Convent. To those who would appreciate the romance, and charm, of visiting a tiny piece of the past, I highly reccommend Pepper's Convent.

Lovely ambience, good breakfast and right next door to Roberts Resturant so you can stroll home after a few bottles of the Hunters finest wines.

Our room was a bit small but this wasn't too much of a problem.

I had a wonderful one-night stay, and the breakfast was an amazing deal with a stunning view of the gardens and fruit trees.

Loved the comfort of the beds and comfort of the rooms

Bathrooms with showers need upgrading Coffee at breakfast was poor

The hotel's location is perfect, being close to the wineries and surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens. the breakfast options were both delicious and offered great value for money. the staff was very helpful, making for a pleasant stay. the hotel was well-appointed and featured a lovely balcony.

The deluxe queen room was ready upon our arrival, making for a smooth check-in experience. This accommodation is situated in a prime location within beautiful gardens, adding to the scenic charm of the hotel. it is conveniently located near the fountain and the impressive long driveway leading to the property, along with the Circa restaurant nearby.

the front office staff were exceptional, providing us with a complimentary upgrade and assisting us in making a reservation at Circa restaurant. They even made sure to inform Circa about my wife's dietary restrictions and my hearing problems. Circa went above and beyond by offering us a private room due to a large party in the main restaurant. This level of service was all thanks to the efforts and helpful advice from the staff at Peppers Convent. the newly refurbished garden room was stunning, and the decor throughout the main house was lovely. the room itself was clean and comfortable, offering beautiful views. I must also mention the outstanding service we received from one particular female staff member who escorted us to the restaurant and a male staff member who assisted us with ordering pizza and providing a cozy space to enjoy our food and wine. Cons: Nothing to be said 👍.

our stay at the convent hunter valley was simply wonderful. the room was beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. we were amazed by the history of the building and the attention to detail in the restoration. the location in the heart of the vineyards was perfect.

No bar.

The Convent offered a charming atmosphere that transported me back in time. The vintage decor, from the period-style furnishings to the beautiful gardens, created a truly delightful ambiance. As a senior woman, I appreciated the accessibility of the hotel. The quiet surroundings and easy navigation made it a perfect getaway for anyone seeking tranquility and relaxation.

If I had to suggest one improvement for a better vacation for senior people, I would request clearer signage throughout the property. As an older traveler, it was a little challenging to find my way around at times.

The value for money at Convent Hunter Valley was excellent. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were really nice too accommodate us.

The food for breakfast could have been better, with a wider variety and quicker service.

It is a beautiful hotel in fine grounds, friendly staff, excellent facilities, nice restaurant, great breakfast, a marvellous history.

Nothing all excellent.
