Set in the heart of Australia’s Hunter Valley,
Hermitage Lodge offers that rare mix of vineyard charm and boutique comfort. Surrounded by rows of Semillon and Shiraz vines, the property feels like a true countryside escape yet is just minutes from some of the region’s most celebrated wineries.
Accommodation is spread across spacious suites, many with private decks or verandahs overlooking the vineyard or tranquil gardens. Some even feature spa baths and fireplaces, making them perfect for a romantic weekend away. The mood is relaxed and welcoming-more like staying with friends who happen to own a gorgeous wine estate than in a traditional hotel.
On-site,
Il Cacciatore restaurant has long been a local favourite, serving hearty Italian dishes that pair beautifully with Hunter Valley wines, including those made from grapes grown right outside your window. Don't hesitate to book a stay here if you find availability!
