Johnna
The Convent was a pleasure to stay at. The staff are fabulous, kind, thoughtful. The grounds are stunning. The restaurant, Circa 1876, was Michelin Star Worthy.
Bradley
Friendly staff, great breakfast and easy access to the hunter valley
Andrew
Staff extremely helpful. Jess front desk was excellent.
Michael
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful historic hotel. The staff are the greatest asset, and provide genuine, heartfelt excellent service in everything they do. The team that looks after the rooms is also exceptional.
Having seen some other people’s reviews, I think you need to bear in mind that this is a building which is more than 100 years old, and it has been updated to a very comfortable and pleasant experience. But it is not a recent construction.
I hardly recommend the convent if you are traveling to the Hunter Valley

The Convent is a lovely place to stay in Pokolbin, with delightfully pleasant and helpful staff. The ambience is quite in keeping with the style of the building as is the decor and the artwork. Our room had a queen size bed and private bathroom and it opened on to a large veranda with nice comfortable cane furniture. The bed was however not the most comfortable one we have slept on with the mattress being quite hard. The shower was over a high bathtub which was awkward to negotiate. Thankfully there was a grab rail. For a property being marketed as a Luxury Hotel the bed linen and towels were not up to standard. Our vanity didn’t have hot running water, which made shaving uncomfortable.

Wir waren 3 Nächte in diesem Hotel und haben es geliebt. Das Haus ist sehr historisch und mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet. Das zugehörige Restaurant Circa ist ebenfalls sehr speziell und das Essen ausgezeichnet.
Die Angestellten waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir würden jederzeit wieder in dieses exzellente Hotel gehen.

The main stand out for us in addition to the beautiful building and gardens was the helpful friendly staff. From Reception, to the breakfast waier to housekeeping.

Cassandra
We had a beautiful nights stay in a lovely grand setting. The staff were all so very friendly and professional. Hope to stay again very soon.
Susan
The staff were really welcoming and able to accommodate requests. The room had some issues with lighting (main lights flickered incessantly so we used the table lights only), the bathroom didn't have any storage or shelf for shower products or hooks near the shower for towels a day wash cloths,and the toilet didn't have a lid. The bed was one of the best we experienced along with the pillows.
Breakfast was a waste of money, $39pp for hard cold poached eggs, tough bacon and a decent coffee. Save the money and go elsewhere (like the visitor centre).

We just spent a night here and the Convent is beautiful. Lovely surroundings, nice pool and a lovely comfy room opening out onto a lovely shared balcony with comfy seats. Breakfast was good and our waitress was super nice and attentive. Getting a local taxi in the evening was tricky so just be aware that the well known online ride share company does have taxis in the Hunter Valley!
Alex
What a charming space. Make sure you take advantage of the breakfast and be sure to try out pepper tree and circa right on the property. Thank you to the front desk lady for giving so many great recommendations in the central coast as well as hunter.
Jim
Great place
We had a lovely stay at the Hotel and will be back soon.

Faulty Towers
Think Faulty Towers, we actually started to laugh at the check in. Run down and old, needs complete reno, the deck was filthy, the garden and grounds are beautiful. Breakfast was stone cold and the promised homemade bread, still imagining this fantasy. Feel like they are trying hard and failing.
Gustavo
Charming old world charm
Waylon
Charming hotel with a very expansive ground
Brendon
The property has beautiful land and exterior. However within the property it was very noisy. We staying on the ground flour and you could hear every moment upstairs. You could also hear every time someone used water through the pipes in the wall. It’s was extremely hard to sleep though.
Cindy
Stunning property which is very peaceful and quiet. Loved our stay.
Karen
We stayed her for our daughters wedding and it was the perfect lobation with unique backdrop for photos. Staff were flexible and accommodating. We will be back.
Manal
Stunning property, comfortable beds, and friendly staff.
The car park needs to be fixed though, there are pot holes everywhere!

Quiet retreat
Lovely hotel. We were upgraded to an upstairs, corner, Premier room, which was very special. Large, very comfortable room, with options to access two balconies. Very comfortable King Bed and large bathroom. Shower over the bath. Did not utilise breakfast there, which would have been $39/person per day. Made pod coffee provided in the room. Very quiet stay. There is no lift, so if you dont manage stairs, request a downstairs room. Staff were very pleasant.
Simon
The accommodation was perfect for a midwinter getaway. The grounds were perfect. Staff were lovely and rooms were spacious.
Robbie
Friendly, stunning fit out and felt like a treat
Chris
Old and tired, in drastic need of some TLC and maintenance. It may be old but chipped paint, missing tile grout, loose taps, general grubbiness is no excuse. This property is grossly overpriced.

Bye Gone Beauty
This gorgeous building is let down by a single staff member doing his best to serve everyone at reception and the dining room (and explain that the coffee machine was broken). Our garden suite had black mould growing on the bathroom ceiling, a very poor shower and no power points bedside. I fear this beauty may be passed her use by date.
Verified traveler
Fabulous stay
Absolutely gorgeous, great hotel, wonderful staff. I was with my elderly mother and the room was perfect, with walk in shower.
Maree
Won’t be back!
Very disappointing stay, mould on the ceiling in bathroom bath was not connected to plumbing.
Service was appalling, we booked high tea at cafe 88 inside the convent the food was atrocious. Very much gone down hill won’t be back. Very overpriced!

LYNDA
Beautiful heritage hotel with lovely high-ceilings and verandahs to the rooms.
Karen Ann
Check was quick and easy which was great as we were going to a concert at Roche Estate which was only 1/2 walk.
Korey
The property and staff are fantastic. Our room smelt nice when opening the door and it was lovely and cool inside thanks to the air conditioning.
The place has so much history which we appreciated.
On the negative side we were very disappointed after a big day that the restaurant was not operating, plus there was nothing else available to eat or drink. I would have expected coffee and cakes etc at least, but absolutely nothing, so we had to drive elsewhere for dinner.
It was a public holiday over the Easter weekend, but really, that’s when people are on holidays to relax and unwind.
Sorry for the negative comment and I hope that doesn’t detract others from staying there, but I guess one shouldn’t assume the restaurant will open every day/night so it might pay to check first.

A wonderful stay, comfortable beds, cozy decor and spotless. The staff were professional but friendly and made our anniversary stay memorable.

Unique building with a history and presented in old world charm and style.
jacqueline
Absolute class act as always, immaculate property/grounds, beautifully presented rooms and engaging and kind staff. This place is a dream to stay in. If you are looking to splurge or enjoy a romantic getaway this is the place to stay in the Hunter.
Claire
It’s lovely accommodation but not for the price tag- hotel is a little run down and rooms are very small.
Helen
The history is something that we can all be proud of and the decor is so awesome.....
what I didn't like was the room is too dusty as my husband kept sneezing and I could see the dust and hair on the bed frame
the shower is too inconvenient and too difficult to get the right water temperature
upon checking in, the receptionist kept telling me things that i wasn't aware of - maybe got mized up with another group who were checking in on the same day
most of all - it was my husband and I's 35th wedding anniversary and there was no acknowledgment whatsoever! If I've made a booking at The Shangri-la, the celebration would have been acknowledged with a nice greeting and a tasteful cake!!!!!

A beautiful serene property. Highly recommend - with Pepper Tree winery and CIRCA just a walk down the tree lined driveway - truly magical!
David
Staff and service was excellent. Comfortable stay.
Marshall
We retraced our steps from 26 years ago to return to The Convent. it was as special today as not was then. The staff were friendly and would go out of their way to assist us.
The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable and comfortable.
The windows in our room (815) rattled all night in the wind and the air code was tricky to get working.
Water pressure was fantastic and hot water was In abundance so the showers were great (though the bath tub (shower over bath) is a little narrow when standing in). Circa restaurant was as enlightening today as it had been all those years ago (then 'Roberts').

It was a beautiful place to stay for a short getaway.
Suzanne
The staff were very pleasant & mostly accommodating.
The room requires updating, for both bathroom & curtains.
Wifi was quite patchy at times, whilst there is nothing but free to air television available.
We found The Convent not good value for money, well over priced for $500 a night including a limited breakfast.
The room requires updating, for both bathroom & curtains.

Property was a beautiful boutique hotel with lovely gardens and great staff.
With it being a boutique hotel however, some of the amenities like the bathroom were showing their age and not up to date with certain facilities.
Overall a lovely place to stay

Alan
A bit disappointed.
Building getting a little tired. Parking not under cover in an area full of puddles and potholes.
Not value for money.

A unique property with beautiful gardens and a quality restaurant

Great property. Very quiet. Lovely seeing the kangaroos hop by with their joeys in their pouches. Good amenities. I would have liked the hotel to offer some picnic hampers, cheese or charcuterie boards for in-house guests as there was no room service or lunch options available. After a day of wining and dining an option of a light dinner would have been great. Otherwise great stay.
