薊山旅館(Thistle Hill Guesthouse - Walk to Many Wineries and Restaurants)

We found this very disappointing. We had not realised or had not been informed that there were no facilities for breakfast on site, not even a breakfast pack. We had to drive about 15 minutes away to find something. There was no room service in the two nights we were there so we had to rewash and reuse cups and glasses and of course, as in most hotels, the tissues ran out after a few uses. The leaking shower door ensured we had a soggy bath mat for the full time we were there. Otherwise it was clean and comfortable but for this price we would normally expect more.

We loved our stay at Thistle Hill celebrating our 20th Anniversary. We were welcomed when we arrived, and shown to our very comfortable room. It’s located perfectly within walking distance of a number of wineries, breweries and restaurants, and not far to drive if you want to explore further or take a tour. It was a peaceful and relaxing location, with a pool to cool off after a long hard day of sampling what the region has to offer, plus some local sweet wine was in our room to enjoy. We highly recommend staying here, and if we ever come back (we will!), this is where we’ll book to stay.

Our stay at Thistle Hill Guest House was incredible - it’s such a beautiful property, and we were upgraded, which was such an amazing and very special surprise. We were blown away. We’d highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

What a beautiful , quiet, quaint and refreshingly clean place to stay. Great room that was well appointed, close to the wineries and other facilities. Thank-you for a relaxing stay.. There was a complimentary sip of wine, chocolates and the most comfy bed.

Talk about the coziest bed on a freezing cold night in a slice of paradise. We had such an amazing mid-week break getting out of the city. The impromptu trip was even better than we imagined and I just love the vibe of Thistle Hill. Our room had all we needed and although others were around, we often felt like we had the place to ourselves. The gardens and common areas are so picturesque and cared for, we felt the same! There is so much attention to detail covered we continued to be pleasantly surprised - thanks for orchestrating the kangaroos to be chilling out next door just as we were leaving. We WILL be back. Thank you so much!

Great place to stay! It was an amazing location and the cottage had everything we needed, while still feeling like we were tucked away on our own! Check in was easy and the staff were really helpful.

Lovely property and we were warmly welcomed. King suite was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed the pool and surroundings. Restaurants and coffee shops are nearby. We enjoyed hearing about the area and communication was great for checking in. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in the cabin with our toy poodle. The cabin was maxing and had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, wifi for the kids was excellent and the views on the property were spectacular.

Really lovely stay! Jo is so knowledgeable of the Hunter area with fantastic local tips. Thistle Hill is a beautiful property with gorgeous gardens. Property is amazing for families and the pool & cabana space was perfect for our group! Rooms were large with enough space in our room for the king size bed, baby bassinet and single bed. Bathrooms are modern. We saw kangaroos regularly and felt very at home. Highly recommend!
