The Convent Hunter Valley Boutique Hotel

Yes, it’s nice. Yes, it’s historic. First impressions are lovely. The room we were given though, was not lovely. While it is clean, it really needs to be brought into the 21st century. The shower needs a grappling hook to get into, there is nowhere to hang a towel, and nowhere to charge a phone due to a lack of power points. The lack of attention to detail adds up to being annoyed at the price we paid. That being said, it really is a lovely historic place. If modern expectations are not a big deal, then this is the place for you. However if you would like usual contemporary conveniences like power points, then you’ll be disappointed. Like I was.

The perfect hotel for a secluded vacation or special occasion. I booked a room for my partner and I here for our anniversary, and it was almost a storybook experience. We stayed in Room 16, up in the top left of the building with access to two big shared balconies where we met lovely guests also making use of the complimentary wine to enjoy the sunset. The rooms are spacious and the bed was so comfortable I accidentally napped before dinner! Staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Highly, highly recommend.

I stayed at The Convent for a weekend and had an incredible time. The hotel is beautiful, peaceful, spotless, and full of charm. The breakfast was generous and delicious. What really made the stay special was the staff – everyone was very kind and welcoming, especially Sam, who went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back!

Beautiful hotel with history! Loved everything about it, very comfortable, lovely staff. The only annoying thing was when we ordered breakfast the next day. Somehow they lost our order so from the time we sat at the table to the time we actually received our breakfast was about an hour!

We stayed here to celebrate my husband's birthday and didn't leave disappointed. I love and chose the Convent for its history and boutique feel. Absolutely stunning, filled with French opulence. We had dinner at Circa 1876 which is also stunning, the food is amazing. Very flavoursome and just a short stroll back to the Convent. We loved our stay, it's a home from home feel, friendly staff. Thank you The Convent.

We paid $425 a night including breakfast. Won't told there is no lift so had to carry our bags up the stairs. The girl at reception did say she can help. Room tiny with a very poor bar fridge. Bugs in bathroom and shower inside the bathtub with a steep stepin and out. At night path outside to go to the restaurant not lit enough. Will I stay there again; NO.

Loved everything about our overniggt stay to celebrate our 54th wedding anniversary. The property and gardens are just beautiful.Bit early for all spring blooms but imagine it will be stunning very soon. The staff and care was appreciated. We travelled with our two dogs, which meant we couldnt dine at 1876, our only disappointment. Breakfast we had white table cloth setting under pergola (outside because of dogs) which we appreciated.Thank you everyone.

We absolutely loved our entire experience of staying at The Convent for the first time. We usually stay at The Vintage, but have been wanting to try The Convent because we love the restaurant right by it, Circa 1876. As we stayed a Sunday night, the restaurant wasn't open but we found another brilliant restaurant on the same road, which we loved. Anyhow, we wanted to leave a review because the staff member, Sam, who was on during our arrival and most of our stay was truly wonderful. Courteous, couldn't be friendlier and more professional, and his generosity and desire to make our stay as easeful and enjoyable as possible was second to none. Sam put us in room 14, which was a premier suite, even though we had booked a superior room. We loved the extra sitting space off the bedroom, and it worked perfectly for a work call, whilst my partner lazed on the king sized bed. We cannot speak highly enough of Sam, and we really enjoyed checking out yhe history room, which includes the story of the Convent. The Convent is 'old money' vibes and really worth booking yourself a Premier suite, truly. Thank you Sam. We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
