Independent, Broke Fordwich hotels

"Value for money compared to most other places I've stayed in the Hunter. The Lane Retreat is at the upper end, however the provided breakfasts, the view overlooking the ranges and vineyards, and the ease of a receptionless checkin, makes this the go-to for our future stays."

"Beautiful place to stay. The staff, facilities and local venues were fantastic. Definitely a place we’ll be visiting again "

"Very pleasant and accommodating staff. Nothing was a bother to them. Cabins well appointed and very clean."

"I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful estate. The setting is incredibly peaceful, surrounded by nature with plenty of greenery and open space, it felt like a true retreat from the hustle and bustle. The atmosphere was serene and quiet, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The staff were quite helpful and friendly, always available to assist and make sure everything was comfortable. The breakfast each morning was also a highlight, fresh, delicious, and a great start to the day. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet escape in a natural setting with excellent service."
