We had a lovely time, Carriages is situated in a really nice part of the Hunter. We can easily go to great restaurants and tasting. The breakfast basket was delicious with fresh fruit, croissant, toast, yogurt... Great hosts. Thank you ; )

We stayed at Carriages for 5 nights and held our wedding ceremony amongst the vineyards. Couldn't be happier with the way we were treated. The owners and staff did everything possible to make sure we had a great and wonderful stay. Accommodation was great and very relaxing. Look forward to going back some day!

Rained throughout our stay however the wonderful location and experience more than made up for this. Our host recommended some great locations to visit, wine and dine, we were not disappointed. The location is fabulous and only a short distance to the wineries. The Verandah Room was very confortable and just the right size for a couple. Highly enjoyable stay... More

Arriving in driving rain to the gateway of the vineyard, the rain droplets hung from the leaves and fruit of the rows of vines, the mood was of romance. At the easily found reception we were warmly greeted by our host who directed us to the beautiful verandah style guest house. Reminisant of a quality, character filled European country home,... More

We were here for Chirstmas and the owners were friendly, helpful, cheerful, and took time out of their own celebration to make sure our stay was lovely. Their wine is quiet good as well, so buy a bottle when you arrive and safe it for later. The breakfast baskets were big and we almost always had some left over to... More

In 2013, we hope to make Carriages better than ever. Since New Year we've introduced a mini-bar service in each room, and have resurfaced the guest tennis court - its looking fresh! We... More

With a group of 4 couples the Carriages was a logical choice - very central location in the Hunter Valley and great facilities for socialising. We booked the two rooms in the 'Gate House' and 2 rooms in the 'main house'. The former has two spacious guest rooms (with spas) and a roomy kitchen/lounge in between. The latter consists of... More

My partner and I recently stayed for 2 nights and we were absolutely thrilled. We stayed in the loft, (I think it was the biggest room) and my partner had a great time playing with the open fire. The hosts were very courteous and available without being overbearing. Charmingly furnished.
