The Convent Hunter Valley Boutique Hotel

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.

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 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to thank the staff at The Convent for firstly, accommodating us and our 3 greyhounds and secondly, for ensuring all of us were looked after. The staff even cooked breakfast for our babies - scrambled eggs and bacon, I don't think the doggos wanted to leave! They also gave us some delicious treats for the hounds. We enjoyed our stay and we are very grateful to the staff for taking good care of us. It was also our 12 year old greyhound's birthday and this made it extra special.

"Special" High Tea for a friend's birthday. Very disappointing! Place and room were lovely, but only one other table present. The bread on the sandwiches was not fresh and no leg ham or salmon on any sandwich. Nothing hot or warm. It is winter! The scones, jam and cream were delicious but we had to ask for more jam and cream. The cakes were abundant, but not all were fresh, did have not have a home made or special quality and some were very different to the menu description. Very disappointing! The tea was lovely, but we had to ask for more hot water and milk. Overall we were very disappointed when we were celebrating very special occasion ... NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

Amazing service, delicious breakfast, good quality food and drink. Very comfortable rooms and beds. Quiet and beautiful evenings on the porch. Niche and classy decor. Beautifully manicured gardens. Can’t compliment the staff enough, special thanks to Sam, Hannah, Rachel and Kirsten. Perfect location. Interesting history. Magical stay. Thank you! Remodelling planned so watch this space.

Surprised my elderly mother a weekend away in the Hunter Valley! We stayed back in October 2024 for her birthday. As part of our stay we also had complimentary tastings to nearby wineries and breakfast included the next morning. Great history here, along with rooms that give visitors a chance to walk through and learn more about this beautiful place. I appreciated the staff for their service and kindness. My 74 yr old mother was delighted and blown away to stay here, you could tell by all the photos (see below). I say sassy, because she couldnt contain her excitement and wanting a picture in almost every location! That in its self tells me she was extremely pleased with her visit without saying anything at all. We enjoyed every moment here. Would love to return very soon. Thanks for having us.

Decor seemed sadly dated especially in the bathroom in our room which needs a major update. Service was fine. Breakfast menu is extremely limited. Feels much more like a guesthouse than a resort. I feel that it is overpriced and possibly resting on it's reputation. Don't envisage staying again.
