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...

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...

What a delightful place to stay in the Hunter Valley region. Our room was a good size. Had the most delicious dinner at eRemo, with open fireplaces all around. Breakfast was also excellent. Would not hesitate to come back - just loved our 1 night stay.
Katrina Stuart
We had breakfast here and it was amazing. Food delicious and the view amazing. Staff were very polite and attentive. We were not guests of the resort unfortunately, we were a couple wanting a lovely breakfast and we certainly received the same courtesy as if we were guests. Thank you for making us feel welcomed.
