On arrival there was no visible reception, which was surprising given how busy the weekend was. It was very confusing to find our accommodation and we had to call multiple times before anyone answered.
The room provided was not the one we booked, and the property looked very run-down. Perhaps new owners but they certainly weren’t very helpful. Rooms were not serviced.For $1,000 for two nights, it was definitely not worth the money and would say, was the worst place we’ve stayed in Pokolbin. Very disappointing.

Plenty of space, lovely to have the outdoor table for dinner - plenty of deckchairs by the pool.
Great outlook onto a vinyard and heaps of roos lazing about.
Very close to the Hunter Valley Gardens for the xmas lights. Some good restuarants close by.

Great to see kangaroos in the field next to Villa Provence. We had a spacious room, which had two forms of heating, to cold fir us to use the swimming pool but it looked very welcoming!

An authentic Villa feel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Provence. It has a
that kind of rustic charm in appearance you would expect in a French Villa..... a little tarnish but with loads of character and so total perfection is not necessary. The owner was lovely, very accommodating when I asked for a foldout bed and a late check out. When in the Hunter Valley I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Secluded gem in the Hunter

Lovely secluded section of the Hunter Valley. Villa Provence is clean and suitably fancy without being ostentatious. The outdoor sitting is beautiful to watch a sunset, the pool is kept clean and is delightful in summer.

Underwhelming

Location and grounds were terrific.
The room itself was underwhelming.
The light / power switch in the bathroom was hanging off the wall making it dangerous to use. My wife would not touch it, worried about being electrocuted.
Cobwebs in door ways and ceiling.
For $500 a night, you expect a lot and the property did not deliver.
Would not stay here again.

The property is a lot older than shown in photos. Lots of repairs need to be done. The back stairs to upper floor rooms were rotten and of risk of falling down. Not worth the $400 we paid each night. No hairdryer and the iron was broken. Do not waste your money! Staff were also really rude. We would have stayed elsewhere if the was accommodation available elsewhere. Absolute rip off.

The property was located very centrally in Pokolbin so most attractions were easily accessible.
Unfortunately the water to the Villa stopped working from around 9:30 so we were unable to flush the toilet, run a tap or shower after this time. It was working again from early the next morning. There was also quite a few bugs in the villa as well.

Great property, quiet and away from the world.
Did a contactless check-in and checkout so never saw staff.
The room was clean and spacious for a couple.
A few design faults - like the shower door doesn't open completely as the basin was in the way but would stay again

We booked here for my birthday weekend. My boyfriend and I were so excited for a weekend away at the Hunter Valley and were thinking about it for weeks! We paid $450 a night and it was NOT worth that!! We booked a balcony room on the higher level over looking the vineyards, the hotel over booked and tried to put us on the ground floor facing water tanks and dirt..

The air conditioner was mouldy and filthy with grime, it was poorly decorated and had minimal facilities to use. The TV was small, the lounge was so hard and small you couldn’t even sit comfortably on it. They had fake candles in the living room and half of them had flat batteries in them.

The balcony was so small you couldn’t even fully open the door without hitting the table and chairs. And when you did sit on the balcony, there were these awful lights that change colour shining straight on your face and can’t even look out.

For $450 a night, this is a complete rip off.

We will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Beautiful Setting

We stayed 1 nite as we were attending a concert at Roche Estate Winery. Elizabeth was gracious to allow us to check in after 12 noon before we headed out via taxi. We would have liked to have stayed longer to enjoy coffee on the patio or a swim in the pool. We were thrilled to see a large kangaroo hopping across the road just as we were driving into the property.

Unauthorised deduction from my credit card

I am regretful to book this hotel and find the host not friendly and not polite at all.
- when i check in, i found that she just put her mobile on the chair and ignore my call ;
- there is no free wine provided as mentioned in tripadvisor
- the room inside is poorly decorated and small pool outside
- the lounge is so small and the sofa is very uncomfortable
- Everything included in the hotel is limited: only one microwave and two plates two cups. After using the microwave, the host blamed us make the room smelly which make me not happy at all
- The most terrible thing is that she charged me unreasonable price from my credit card after she saw my friend come to my room visit me and mentioned that her room can only allow two people to enter
Overall , i will not recommend this hotel to anybody!
