Paws in the Vines at The Lane Retreat

Pet friendly Hunter Valley accommodation means your dog doesn't have to wait by the door every time you pick up the car keys.

At The Lane Retreat, we believe the best getaways are shared with every member of the family, including the four-legged ones. Set amongst peaceful vineyards in the heart of the Hunter Valley, our Paws in the Vines package has been created for guests who want to experience the region without leaving their furry companion at home.

Whether you're wandering through vineyards, enjoying a lazy lunch or simply relaxing on your private deck, this is a getaway designed for both you and your dog.

What's Included

Your two-night stay includes everything you need for a memorable escape together.

  • Two nights in a pet-friendly room for two guests and one dog
  • Continental breakfast provisions each morning
  • A Mimi & Munch bedtime treat waiting for your pooch
  • Wood-fired pizza for two at Bimbadgen Pizzeria
  • A Paw-cuterie platter featuring gourmet Mimi & Munch treats

Every inclusion has been thoughtfully chosen so nobody misses out, including your best furry friend.

Wake Up Among the Vines

One of the biggest advantages of staying at The Lane Retreat is simply the setting.

Start your morning with a coffee overlooking the vineyards while your dog explores the fresh country air beside you. With wide open spaces, peaceful surroundings and beautiful Hunter Valley scenery, it's the perfect place to slow down together before heading out to explore the region.

Explore the Hunter Valley Together

The Hunter Valley is becoming increasingly welcoming for dogs, making it easy to enjoy a weekend away without leaving your best friend behind.

Spend the day exploring pet-friendly cellar doors, browsing local producers and relaxing over a long lunch in the fresh air. Stop by Bimbadgen Pizzeria, where dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining area (and can even enjoy their own Paw-cuterie platter), or visit Emma's Cottage Vineyard, where you can enjoy a relaxed wine tasting and wander the peaceful vineyard surrounds together.

If you're looking to plan your itinerary, the Hunter Valley has plenty more dog-friendly experiences waiting to be discovered. For a comprehensive guide to pet-friendly wineries, cafes, accommodation and attractions, visit the official Hunter Valley guide: A Pet-Friendly Guide to the Hunter Valley. It's a great resource for finding even more places to explore with your four-legged companion.

Pizza for You. Paw-cuterie for Them.

One of the highlights of the Paws in the Vines experience is your visit to Bimbadgen Pizzeria.

While you enjoy authentic wood-fired pizza, your dog can tuck into their own Paw-cuterie platter filled with delicious Mimi & Munch treats.

It's those little touches that turn a weekend away into something you'll both remember.

Why Guests Love Bringing Their Dogs

Travelling with your dog means fewer worries, less guilt and more memories.

Instead of organising pet sitters or kennel stays, your companion gets to be part of the adventure, from morning walks through the vines to lazy afternoons and cosy evenings back at The Lane Retreat.

It's a slower way to experience the Hunter Valley, and one that many of our guests tell us is their favourite.

Plan Your Pet-Friendly Escape

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an excuse to escape the city, Paws in the Vines offers the perfect opportunity to experience the Hunter Valley together.

Bring your favourite walking shoes, pack your dog's lead and let us take care of the rest.
