Mountain View Hotels in Pokolbin

I had the pleasure of staying at this resort for one night and it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance was charming and serene, setting the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The highlight of my stay was the wine tasting session, which was expertly curated with a delightful selection of wines that catered to both novices and connoisseurs. The staff's knowledge and passion for wines were evident, making the tasting even more enjoyable. The accommodations were comfortable and well-appointed, ensuring a good night's rest. While my stay was short, it left a lasting impression, and I look forward to returning to this resort for a longer stay in the future.

We had a favourable first impression at the room/ property but after 1 night you’ll start to see all the issues. We love the fact that it is a sustainable resort but there’s a lot to be desired after 5 nights in their suite. Day 1: Checkin was rushed, reception didn’t explained the room amenities provided with the room type we’ve booked-in (spa suite). Room did not come with standard amenity kit (no cotton pad no toothbrush no sanitary pad etc) upon check in. I had to call to ask for toothbrushes. We didn’t know that the room came with a working fireplace, free still & sparkling water, no phone directory in the room / label on the phone. And most importantly how to get room serviced or not. when we had an issue about the room not being serviced they asked us repeatedly did we put the doortag outside (we didn’t - which is the correct way to get the room serviced). If this is important, then they should make it a clear point to explain this during checkin. We had dinner at the bar, we ordered a cauliflower salad to share (among other foods). It was so disappointing to received a big bowl of spinach and 3 small pieces of dried chicken breast. Since the title of the salad is cauliflower salad, we were unimpressed that it was the one ingredient that was missing from that bowl. The salad cost almost $30 for what seems to be a bag of baby spinach salad that you could buy from coles or wollies for $3. Oh yes and dressing on that was also on existent. Upon clearing our plates, bar staff didn’t asked us how the food was & she was quite abrupt. Day 2: Had breakfast and staff was friendly and efficient. We also noticed that there’s a sign that says ‘kids club’ which we then asked the reception where it was which they then explained it was an adjoining room that had games, colouring books etc for kids (it’s school holidays) which we thought was a great idea and our son did went in to play and enjoyed it. Came back to the room, we noticed that the room wasn’t made and only the towels were changed (we didn’t request this). So we thought that they only service the rooms every 2nd night being sustainable an all. So we didn’t thought much about it, we also noticed that the maintenance didn’t come to turn on the fireplace so we followed up on that. And we had that running before they end the shift at 3pm. Honestly that was the saving grace of this trip. The fireplace is a beautiful addition to the room especially during winter. We also requested for another tv control as there’s 2 tv in the suite but only 1 remote. Day 3: Breakfast, and we noticed that the ‘kids club room’ is now converted to a meeting space which my son wasn’t very happy about. I don’t understand why they would introduce a service but then took it away midway through our stay which is still within school holiday period. There was no explanation given. Frustrating to say the least. Room was not serviced again. We began to wonder why and quickly peeked at the room across us that is currentl

Relax, unwind and explore. This boutique, eco-friendly little retreat was a very welcome break from the hustle and bustle of city and family life for my husband and I. Everything was easy, well planned and made for a great experience. Check-in was a breeze with the room code sent directly to my mobile and email, including directions and contact info in case we needed it during our stay. Breakfast provisions were provided in the room, and they catered for my Gluten Intolerance perfectly; this made the two mornings we stayed so very easy as we did not need to plan or even leave the room for decent coffee and our food. The welcoming sage-green of our room and large windows just created this cozy little oasis where we could watch the sunsets with a wine in hand. We also admired the morning mists on the mountains, the wildlife in the vineyards and the occasional hot air balloon drift past while we had coffee on the balcony. This little gem will be recommended by us to all who need some fresh air and to unwind from the daily grind - we will be back!

I just spent 3 amazing days doing the wellness program in order to de-stress and recharge before Christmas. Not only is the all inclusive program great as it includes delicious food, exercise sessions as well as yoga, meditation, Thai chi, stretching and a 25 metre pool I was able to do my laps in. I also had the opportunity to do a 1:1 Feldenkrais Magic Roll session, the absolutely amazing Watsu and a Gua Shua Facial.

Anyone would love it here. The rooms are great. The staff is lovely and very knowledgeable about the area . The restaurant is excellent. Americans (and Europeans, I presume) might love it even more though because Spicers perfectly fit my image and expectation for Australian wine country, right down to the other guests mostly being people up from Sydney rather than off an international tour bus. I could see sunsets right from our room that seemed like they were from a movie set. There are kangaroos hopping around the property, especially early in the morning when us jet lagged Americans are already wide awake. Compared to places of comparable quality in Napa Valley, the prices were very fair. And they’ll do a bag of laundry for $30, making it much easier to pack light on your long trip!

We discovered this place because price was great value for the area close to our restaurant for dinner. Amanda's on the edge worth checking out. This little apartment is full of world charm ,all the little extras biscuits on arrival, ice in the freezer,fire place,candle and the list goes on .bed so comfortable shower lovely sitting room comfortable. My favourite is the balcony with a coffee and a gorgeous view. Love this place so clean and felt so welcome .will definitely tell my friends and family will stay again

The hotel's service is very good. The front desk is very warm and friendly. The room is quite big. The bed is very comfortable. There is a balcony door to go straight. The swimming pool is very wide. There are often kangaroos playing freely on the nearby lawn. The front door is an endless vineyard. I am at the door. On the road, I photographed a kangaroo mother who was preparing to cross the road. There was also a kangaroo in the arms. The locals were very friendly to the kangaroos. They would drive the guests slow, especially when they encountered kangaroos. Slow down and confirm that they would not hurt them.

Gorgeous grounds, lovely apartment, very well equipped. Very smart and modern. Comfortable bed, fabulous bathroom, loads of hot water. Staff lovely (Matt was very helpful). Very short walk (5mins) out of the back gate to a great wood fired pizza restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

The villas are nestled into a vineyard, the view is lovely and the serenity is divine. The villas themselves are spotlessly clean, and newly renovated and very well equipped. The bed is comfortable, the linen crisp and the pillows are good too. We rented four villas and everyone was impressed. The time spent outside away from the traffic and hustle and bustle, just peace and quiet, a gorgeous view and good friends with which to share a nice bottle of wine. At the bottom of the road there is a winery, Parched Crow...so don't forget to drop in there and have a tasting and purchase a few bottles of good Hunter wine.
