While voco Kirkton Park Hunter Valley is set in peaceful surroundings with beautiful gardens, it is on the edge of most of the wineries in Pokolbin. Disappointingly upon arrival, we had to wait over 10 minutes before someone arrived at reception. The room itself was very tastefully decorated and presented and clean, although, in the bathroom, greater attention could be given to base of the shower. The bed was comfortable. We made use of the onsite lounge for dinner and would highly recommend the offered breakfast.

The rooms are elevated off the ground with the floor in the room not being made of a “solid” material. While it is carpeted, it was impossible to walk on any part of the floor without it creaking loudly.

The heritage property is very unique, and very Australian. The grounds were very good, and my 10 year old daughter loved to feed the pigs and chickens. Also there wer lots of kangaroos in the nearby paddocks. The remoteness from mainstream was good, but Cessnpck was only a 10 minute drive away with lots of restaurants, pubs and supermarkets. Also Kirkron Park is very well located for Hunter Vaalley Gardens and many boutique wineries. It was very peaceful.

There was a shortage of powerpoints available in the room to charge devices. There was no lock on the bathroom door which also did not close properly.

My experience at this hotel was absolutely wonderful—I truly loved it! I stayed to celebrate both my birthday and wedding anniversary, and I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful gestures from the hotel, including a personalized card, a small gift, a lovely souvenir, and a bottle of wine. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making the experience even more special. Every aspect of my stay was excellent, and the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in Australia. The buffet was outstanding, offering a great selection of hot dishes. I highly recommend this hotel!

facilities are amazing - you could spend a whole weekend here and have no reason to leave with so much to do onsite. Staff are super helpful and friendly and we will definitely be booking again.

The bed doona should have a closing coverlet instead of being wrapped in two sheets. This is because the sheets come apart and our bodies end up touching the uncovered doona. I'm certain this happens with many people (icky!) As well as this, the mattress dipped in the middle and as we were in a "king bed" we could clearly feel this was two single beds pushed together. This made for an uncomfortable sleep.

Food was great, all staff were friendly, grounds were well kept. Coffee, hot chocolate & drinks were great. Shampoo / conditioner / hand & body soap / body lotion was beautiful. Bedroom & bathroom decor design pleasing. Gardens beautiful. Our back balcony view was fantastic.

Air-conditioner didn’t cool room enough. Bathroom had an odd smell (around sink area), sink tap leaked while in use, bathroom needs a deep clean (wall ledge tiles & shower screen). Prefer to have a straight King bed than two beds taped together. Balcony screen door lock didn’t lock.

Breakfast was excellent as always & room & bed very comfy.- excellent bath & shower & extra towels & pillows available just by asking at any time.

The horrible cleaning sprays used in the room & breakfast areas are toxic & too strong... made me unwell for first couple of days we were there til we were able to get the smell out of our room. i would suggest using the Neutral cleaning products available so they aren't reacting with people with sensitive sinuses. Also the Orange Jasmine Hedges when flowering are veery nasty for people like me who suffer from hayfever. We will need to stay somewhere else when the Jasmine hedges are in flower :( We had booked for a Grand Room with Valley view but this time we were ghiven a room right at the end of the row where the view was looking over the row of rooms below as instead of the lovely wide valley view we have had on previous stays.

From the minute we walked in we were greeted with very friendly and accommodating staff, the rooms were clean and tidy. The kids enjoyed swimming in the heated pool which was great on a dreary day. We enjoyed room service that night, the chicken was delicious! We had breakfast with our stay, which was exceptional. Excellent food, pastries and coffee/hot chocolate. We loved our family trip away and wish we booked for two nights instead of just the one!

This is actually the 4th time we have come back to this property- we loved it and we brought friends along who loved it too. They all said they would stay again.

Not to do with the property, but as our children were playing near the playroom and grass area where the outdoor games were, we were abused by a group of other people staying there that we were 'inconsiderate' having children play there and this should be an adults area (despite that it was by the playroom). They were incredibly irate and abusive to us, would have appreciated staff around to support. These people were also chain smoking near people eating and drinking. This is advertised as and is clearly a family friendly venue- and this is why we stay here and love it so much.

I would have liked to have stayed there longer but I was only passing through the region. The room was lovely and had a nice outlook. The breakfast was awesome and met the high expectations set by the reviews I'd read. There were nice quality Antipodes bath products provided in the room and when asked if I could purchase some when I was checking out, the girl at the front desk went out of her way to source some for me to buy. I used the gym on the morning I left which was great. I liked the rose garden, which looked really nice at night with the lights. The late checkout of 11 am was very much appreciated and they even extended it to 12 pm without my asking, which was generous. All the staff were very friendly and obliging throughout my stay. This would be a great place to stay with a group, but equally good for a couple as well.

Nothing to add here.

Our room was spacious and comfy, the self service breakfast was very good. It felt like a top quality luxury hotel. Everything was fresh and the layout was easy to use. The entry and common areas were nicely decorated.

We were told the pool was being serviced so we didn't bring our swimmers. We went for a walk each morning and the flies were terrible - wish we had brought bug off. The entry road had pot holes and people avoiding them were a danger to others.
