I really hope to come back soon.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely loved our stay at The Lane Retreat.

The Lane Retreat is truly the most beautiful place in Hunter Valley! We stayed here this weekend for our babymoon and were blown away by the hospitality, spotless apartment, and delicious breakfast. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking view from our apartment – perfect for enjoying peaceful sunrises and stunning sunsets. And don’t be surprised if you spot a lot of kangaroos around – it’s all part of the magic! Highly recommend this unforgettable escape.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just checked in today so peaceful! Brand new cabins, only place will stay in the Hunter moving forward, Thanks Rachel for the great service!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Value for money compared to most other places I've stayed in the Hunter. The Lane Retreat is at the upper end, however the provided breakfasts, the view overlooking the ranges and vineyards, and the ease of a receptionless checkin, makes this the go-to for our future stays.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anniversary during the week stay! The Lane Retreat with majestic vineyard, pond and mountain views, which is only around 12 months old was modern & outstanding in every way. As a couple celebrating our anniversary our Large Studio Accommodation was exceptional, spotlessly clean, had stylish linen and a comfortable King Size bed. Also, having a bathroom with double vanity sinks, plus double rain showers was a couple plus factor. The guest service Lane Retreat Staff in every single department were amazing! So professional and cohesive as a team should be. I’ll start with Claire, Mel, Donna and Debra, there are too many names to mention. We love that you were able to go to their two Sister properties Bimbadgen Winery for a tasting experience with Jase, this has a Wood Fire Pizzeria, we did a takeaway Pork Belly Pizza, yum. Also, we did a wine tasting at Alter Wines @ Emma’s Cottage with Matt. Both men at each winery venue were passionate about you enjoying your wine tasting experience. Added Bonus was a Complimentary Shuttle Bus transfers to each of these two sister wineries/venues and back home to our accommodation, how grand is that!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I recently shared a very special life achievement. To celebrate, we chose a nearby escape, ‘The Lane Retreat’ in our beautiful Pokolbin, Hunter Valley. ‘The Lane Retreat’ is located on one of Bimbadgen’s award-winning vineyards in the heart of wine country. ‘The Lane Retreat’ is one of our newest accommodation destinations with sixty (60) premium studio retreats, each designed to complement the natural beauty of the surroundings. Nestled on 15 hectares of secluded vineyard and natural bushland, we enjoyed calming panoramic views of the Broken Back Range and convenient access to many well-known surrounding attractions. I must also mention that this premium accommodation provides premium bedding, which is greatly appreciated. We extend our sincere gratitude for the leadership and customer service extended to us by the Hotel Manager, Amanda. Perspective, professionalism, and the ability to respond (rather than react) are not as common attributes as some might think. Relationships matter, and Amanda's assistance with some private matters we experienced was exceptional. Thank you Amanda. A huge shout-out to Amanda’s team, including Trent and Joel, and the two ladies from room management, whom we had the pleasure of spending time with. Stay safe, TLR-Team, until we see you again soon.
