The magnificent and truly unique Hunter Valley Lodge and Retreat is set on 5 beautiful acres of lawns and gardens and has been designed and furnished with every comfort in mind. This property is located in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine region with marvellous views and only minutes from absolutely everything the Hunter Valley has to offer. The Lodge is the perfect solution for large groups or corporate groups that want to spend time together but also enjoy their own private space.

The Hunter Valley Lodge and Retreat boasts 11 spacious bedrooms and 8 bathrooms accommodating up to 33 guests in comfort and style. With magnificent wrap around verandahs, a refreshing swimming pool and a relaxing jacuzzi, a huge games room with a billiard/pool table, table tennis and cinema, a bocce court, outdoor chess, croquet area, a huge impressive entertainment and sun deck with stunning views to the Broken Back Range.

The Hunter Valley Lodge consists of four buildings only minutes apart. The Lodge has six spacious guest suites and five bathrooms. The Retreat, which is adjacent to the main house, has a further four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Bison Den is our games and cinema room. The Lion’s Den is a modern self-contained converted shipping container studio located at the rear of the property and can be rented in addition to the Lodge and Retreat providing you with an extra bedroom and bathroom if required.

As you weave your way down the tree lined driveway, you will pass our two life-sized bronze deer that watch over this very special space. The Lodge’s interior has been modelled on a traditional Canadian hunting lodge, with the central lounge area focusing on a huge stone fireplace and soaring cathedral ceilings that creates a natural ambience throughout the rest of the building.

The main building features a modern semi-commercial gourmet kitchen with quality appliances including two large ovens, two dishwashers and absolutely everything you could possibly want or need to create your own Masterchef meal. The large dining area has a magnificent custom-made oversized table and offers a relaxed atmosphere where guests can dine together and enjoy the peace and serenity of this beautiful setting.

The Retreat, which is adjacent to the Lodge, has its own brand new kitchen and a lounge area plus an additional outside entertainment area. The Lion’s Den is a quirky modern self-contained dwelling in a private location at the rear of the property.

This unique property was specifically built for large group self-contained accommodation in the Hunter Valley. It is perfect for groups of friends, family getaways, small weddings and corporate meetings or off-sites. You can relax on the deck in the evening and listen to the roar of the four lions, who are our newest neighbours at the Hunter Valley Zoo. Surreal!  

If you have a smaller group, you may only reserve the Lodge or the Retreat during the middle of the week. The Hunter Valley Lodge and Retreat can accommodate 31 guests in the Lodge and Retreat or 33 guests in the Lodge, Retreat and Lion’s Den. The complete Lodge and Retreat can accommodate 28 guests in their own individual beds.
