A Hidden Gem in Potts Point
Arriving from North America, we landed bright and early—7 AM to be exact. Knowing this in advance, we wisely booked an extra night to ensure a smooth arrival. After an 18-hour journey, the ability to freshen up with a quick shower and change before diving into the day is priceless. Trust me, it’s worth every penny.
Now, onto the real highlight: Spi...

We really enjoyed our stay, everyone was welcoming and helpful and we really appreciated the late checkout. The free use of the downstairs area and the honour bar was unique, I’ve never seen that before. The rooms were a nice size and very comfortable with everything you need and the location was also really great.

Spicers is by far the best place to stay in Potts Point. As a local that moved away and who returns often I tried them all. Fabulous staff. Good size rooms. Comfortable beds, great bed linen. Excellent shower. Nice breakfast, bar and relaxing areas. Deco is beautiful. Safe and secure. Excellent location.
Martin Lawrence
Very rare that I can say that this place delivered on all counts! the welcome from the moment you crossed the threshold until we left was warm and genuine. Breakfasts were excellent.
Rooms well appointed (only downside was the many stairs which my wife didn't appreciate after a busy day out).
Getting around proved a lot easier once we mastered the metro/bus options and real...

We love Spicers. The staff are out standing! Beautiful, relaxed atmosphere. Calming spacious rooms and amazing location. Delicious breakfast and the honesty bar is a great little addition.

After spending over $5,000 for two nights in the Chief Suite, I had high expectations—and I’m happy to say they were fully met. The room's decor was beautifully designed, creating an elegant yet cozy atmosphere. Despite being located next to the main house, the suite felt completely secluded, offering full privacy for a truly relaxing stay.
One of the highlights was the dining...

I cannot speak more highly of the staff, food and premises. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We would definitely go back. The region is incredible a must do is the Botanical Gardens and Hawkesbury Look out. A very easy drive from Sydney and fantastic parking on site. The views are spectacular as is the garden. Jill the care taker does an amazing job!

My wife and I visited Spicers for our mini moon. We absolutely love it. Jill looked after us like family. She has been working at the resort for years and knows how to help guests with everything. Great asset to the team. The restaurant staff were all awesome as well. 10/10 recommend to a friend :)
Lorena Kok
This was my best and most beautiful hotel experience ever. Being in the bush with this southafrican inspired High End furniture was fantastic.
We used the sauna a lot and then swam in the cold pool in the rain, looking into the bush.
Everything was thoughtfully picked and curated, every last detail. The coffee table books, the scents in the bathroom, the swinging chair on the d...

Absolutely amazing stay!! My fiance bought this for me as a 30th birthday present and I can honestly say it was the most peaceful, wholesome weekend. The staff were amazing, super helpful with everything and the hotel was bliss. So clean, spacious and quiet. Would highly recommend and will definitely return in the future!!

Second time here and again loved it. Great on-site restaurant but be aware of its hours and days open.
Beautiful property and fireplaces in you room.
What makes this place great is the staff most especially Ofania!! This nice lady goes out of her way to assist every member of your party. She is a treasure for a spot like this to hold onto.
Bronwyn Walker
Beautiful location and facilities, my partner and I enjoyed our peaceful 2 night stay with a delicious breakfast each morning.
Slicers Guesthouse is perfectly surrounded by gorgeous views of the hunter valley, the pool and spa look out to the bush and the ambiance of the birds was pure bliss.
Service was great too, staff are knowledgeable and efficient.

Super comfy bed, clean and nicely equipped room. Very pleasant check in staff. Nice location to access cellar doors in the region. The eRemo restaurant has quite a fancy evening menu. Oysters, octopus, Wagyu and an array of good wines. Fabulous gardens to sit and drink whilst watching the kangaroos in the fields.
Brian Hodges
Very relaxing place to stay with wonderful views from the dining room. Kangaroos visiting morning and evening.
Staff were great and food first rate.
Marcus McKenzie
Another perfect Spicer's stay.
Having previously stayed at the vineyards, we thought we'd try the guesthouse.
The venue is well kept, the rooms comfortable, breakfast has an excellent outlook and we had no problem with the stay.
The fact that the venue has easily accessible EV chargers on site for guest use is terrific - they're 4kw but perfectly adequate for an overnight ch...
