Nice place, would have preferred a wall to create a separate room for the bathroom or at least for the toilet. could use a microwave. maybe a note saying keep windows and doors closed after dark as a lot of small insects came in.

Stunning, Serene & Relaxing Hotel
Loved these rooms, from the minute we drove in i did not feel like i was at the Hunter Valley. Rooms were stunning, clean and the view was incredible. Beds were very comfortable, and loved the little touches of books & Movies The only issue was that wi-fi and reception was poor so we weren't able to get in touch with the group we were travelling with as we were there for a wedding. it also made it hard to research places to eat and see close by etc as there was no book there with maps, places to eat things to do as you would normally find at a hotel.

Relaxing weekend getaway
My Fiance and I had the most relaxing getaway. We loved The Boathouse, it was so tranquil and such an amazing place to stay. We also had a delicious dinner at the 'Leaves and Fishes' restaurant. The service was amazing and the staff made us feel so welcome. We highly reccomend both the accomodation and the restaurant and we will be back :)

Absolutely Amazing - 5 Star!
My partner and I had the most amazing weekend away at the Boathouses. There are only 4 private boathouses on the property making for an exclusive stay. Ours was beautifully furnished, with soft linens, comfortable king bed, and luxurious eggcup bath. The bar fridge was a great addition for keeping our wine and cheese cool. The view from the deck across the lake is just stunning and falling asleep each night to the sounds of nature was peaceful and relaxing. We also ate dinner one of the nights at the Leaves & Fishes restaurant and the food and wine was delicious! We were thoroughly impressed with every aspect of our stay and can't rate this property highly enough! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
