Enjoy the birds and watch for kangaroos over breakfast on your patio.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Picture perfect everything just wowww Just a pinch was i added extra birthday service which could be better with the price but was bit disappointed but over all wowwwwPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Lane Retreat 環境真的非常漂亮，整體設計現代又舒適。這裡有湖景房與葡萄園景房兩種不同房型，我們這次入住的是湖景房。大片落地窗外就是湖泊景色，視野開闊、非常放鬆，早晚光線變化也很迷人。 入住當天會透過email提供門鎖密碼，直接自行進房，省去了傳統check-in的流程，對旅客來說相當方便。早餐在入住時就已經準備好放在房內，份量很多，種類也不錯。 浴室空間很大、非常寬敞，整體住宿品質讓人滿意。最讓人興奮的是，在住宿周圍真的能看到野生袋鼠，距離很近，是很難得的體驗。 小小缺點是夏天前往難免會有蒼蠅，要小心不要讓牠們進到屋內。 整體而言是很值得推薦的住宿地點。 The Lane Retreat is absolutely beautiful, with a modern and comfortable design. There are two different room types available — lake view and vineyard view — and we stayed in the lake view room. The large windows offered a peaceful view of the lake, creating a very relaxing atmosphere throughout the day. On the day of arrival, we received the door access code via email, which made the self check-in process smooth and convenient. Breakfast was already prepared and placed in the room, with generous portions and a good variety, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed morning. The bathroom was very spacious and well designed, adding to the overall comfort of the stay. One of the highlights was seeing wild kangaroos nearby — it was truly exciting and memorable. The only downside is that during summer, flies are unavoidable due to the natural surroundings, which can slightly affect the experience. Overall, it is a lovely place to stay and well worth the visit.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent place — it truly is a retreat. I went with my mom, my sister, and our Cavoodle, and we were so happy. It’s a place that beautifully captures the magic of Hunter Valley. The experience is fascinating from the very first phone call. A thousand thanks for all the vegan options and for the space and recognition you gave to our little dog — that was such a lovely touch. 🔝Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an outstanding escape, with rooms in groups of three in small, modern buildings that are separate from the other units. The rooms are modern and well equipped. There are no sounds other than birds in the area, and each room has a balcony with chairs and a small table to enjoy the atmosphere. They provide a fantastic breakfast, with everything already in the room so there’s no need to go anywhere. They also provide a welcome bottle of wine to get you started. It is a great place to relax and unwind. The drive to the nearest wineries is about 5 to 10 minutes, so even though you need a car to get around, distances are very short.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot - simply cannot - praise this place highly enough. Modern, homey, spanking clean, perfect location for vingeeeks. Greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine, and stocked breakfast for the two days. Ample, sufficient, perhaps more bottled water would’ve been nice. Fluffy towels, bed amazingly soft, showers oh the SPACIOUS SHOWERS 🚿 💖💘🩷🧡🩵💙💜 plenty strong hot water too. Lovely balcony seating. Yes, you will spot kangaroos in the area. Very very prompt and cherry email replies. Was too cold for us to pool tho. Free parking big plus. Not much diff in rooms with diff view types, we felt. Appreciated the self check in and out. TEN STARS!!!!!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect place to stay in the hunter. Individual Cabins all face west so u can watch the setting sun over the hills of Pokolbin. Awake to that view but without the glaring sun. We chose to reject daily service of our room and received a nice bottle of red but when we were running low on teabags etc I just rang and they were there. Actually replaced some towels and put our washing up away whilst Restocking our supplies. Nice surprise. And then the courtesy bus dropped and Picked us up for an End of day Wine tasting with Emma at emmmas and dinner at Esca. Amazing food and views. And at the End of the day when it’s rather warm the pool Was a god send. Highly recommend this place.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Auf unserem Roadtrip von Sydney nach Cairns hatten wir einen kurzen, aber sehr feinen Zwischenstopp im Hunter Valley – denn: Heißluftballon-Plan stand auf dem Zettel. 🎈🔥 Und dafür habe ich uns in The Lane Retreat eingebucht… und Leute… das war nicht „Hotel“, das war Pinterest in Echtzeit. 😄✨ Ankunft? Zack – wir rollen rein und stehen plötzlich in einer Bungalow-Oase, bei der man automatisch leiser spricht, weil’s so friedlich ist. 🌿🤫 Überall Weite, Natur, Ruhe – und diese Anlage ist so schön angelegt, dass du dich fragst, ob hier irgendwo Kameras laufen und du gerade bei „Australia’s Next Top Retreat“ mitmachst. 😅📸 Lage & Setting? 11/10! Mitten in den Weinreben, dazu ein See, alles super weitläufig – du schaust aus deinem Bungalow raus und bekommst direkt dieses „Ich bin im Urlaub angekommen“-Gefühl in die Blutbahn injiziert. 🍇🌊🌅 Unser Bungalow? Modern, clean, stilvoll – so ein Design, wo du sofort denkst: „Okay, hier könnte ich auch 3 Nächte bleiben und so tun, als wäre ich ein entspannter Mensch.“ 😄🧘♂️ Und das Bad? Richtig hochwertig. Kein „ja passt schon“, sondern wow, hier wurde mitgedacht. 🚿✨ Sauberkeit? Tiptop. Alles wirkte frisch, gepflegt und einfach… edel ohne geschniegelt zu sein. ✅👌 Der einzige Haken? (Und der tut weh.) Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht da und hatten viel zu wenig Zeit, diese Anlage wirklich zu genießen. Das ist so ein Ort, der schreit: „Bleib. Trink Wein. Schau auf den See. Mach langsam.“ Und wir so: „Sorry, wir müssen weiter…“ 🥲🚗💨 Mein Fazit: The Lane Retreat ist der perfekte Spot fürs Hunter Valley, wenn du Natur, Stil und Ruhe willst – und dich kurz wie in einem Luxus-Retreat fühlen möchtest, ohne dass es geschniegelt oder steif ist. Wenn du hier bist, mach nicht unseren Fehler: Nimm dir Zeit. Mindestens 2 Nächte. 😄🍷🌿 📍 The Lane Retreat – Hunter Valley 🎈 Perfekt als Base für Heißluftballon & Wine-Vibes 💯 Klare Empfehlung!
