Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens

Family stay to visit the Hunter Valley Christmas Lights, which was a quick walk from the hotel. Excellent staff on arrival to greet and provide overview of the hotel and surrounding locations. Room was great, it backed out onto the pool area which the kids loved along with the games room. Overall, really enjoyable stay and would book this hotel again in the future.

Stayed for the Hunter Valley lights, deal was amazing we worked out that our accommodation only cost $170 after all the inclusions (entry for 4 into the lights worth $116, 6 ride tickets each (only 1 ticket per ride) valued at $6 per ticket & also breakfast the next day was included which you would usually spend around $100 on breakfast for two adults & two kids). Games room was great for the kids & the pool area is lovely. Only downfall was when we went to check in at 1.30pm our room wasn't ready (no issue as check in wasn't until 2pm) but we were told we could swim & they would call us when our room was ready so got changed in the car & spent time at the pool... it got to 4pm & we were getting stressed as we still needed to unpack the car, shower the kids & have a bit of down time before the lights as it was going to be a big night. Went to reception to see if our room was ready & they said it had been ready for ages they were waiting on us but the duties had swapped over so it was just a bit of miss communication on the hand over. All in all it was a lovely place to stay & everyone we dealt with was great, buffet breakfast was also amazing.

What a fantastic place to stay. Very well located - literally a 1min walk up a path within the property and you’re right in McGuigan’s winery! Lots of other wineries close by too, but we had a lovely lunch (with a bottle of wine of course!) at McGuigan’s, then strolled back to the resort. Lovely pool, children’s pool and spa. We had dinner in the restaurant, which was delicious, as was the buffet breakfast next morning. Our room was gorgeous (we were lucky enough to score an upgrade, and had the most incredible suite, complete with huge fireplace and massive courtyard), and all the staff couldn’t have been any more helpful. I honestly could not recommend this beautiful resort enough, and will 1000% be returning. It was just fabulous.

Stayed here for one night while visiting the Hunter Valley Gardens Christmas Lights, this hotel was conveniently located right next door within easy walking distance. Also with a few Cellar Doors practically on our doorstep. The room was spacious and well appointed, although perhaps looking a little tired and in need of a refresh. There were cobwebs & insects on the lofted ceiling and also along the bathroom mirror, perhaps overlooked by housekeeping. I was dissatisfied with the shower, which flooded the bathroom extensively, due to insufficient seals around the bathroom door and recess. This definitely needs to be looked at.

Wonderful stay with my daughter and granddaughter. Stayed two nights with breakfast & breakfast was delicious. Staff always coming & going with fresh food and cleaning tables up. E’lament bar & dining was an absolute surprise with their food. Very nice & our waitress was spot on in explaining the menu & trying her hardest to help . Reception staff are really nice too. I was surprised at the cleaning staff helping out when ever we needed more. A very delightful stay at Mercure Resoet Hunter Valley Gardens 🙂
