We've visited the Hunter Valley for more than 10 times and have stayed in different hotels/cottages previously. In Apr this year we made our visit to the Valley again and this time we've chosen to stay at Elfin Hill. After our stay, we've decided that this will be the only place we choose for our future visits. The room was... More

Just got back from another trip to the Hunter Valley and again we stayed at Elfin Hill. Love this place, it is quiet, has great views and wonderful hosts. The large shared loungeroom and verandah add to the family friendliness of this place. Beds are comfy, breakfast is great and being able to sit and look out over the vineyards... More

Whilst the room was clean and homely, the bed very comfortable and the breakfast delightful, what makes this place unique is the cosy shared open areas and the outlook across the vineyards and paddocks. The added bonus are the amazing hosts who are unobtrusive yet helpful in every possible way, from making sure you have all you need to recommendations... More

We stayed in the one bedroom cottage at Elfin Hill for two nights in February 2013 with our baby and had a wonderful time. The cottage is at the end of the hotel, with beautiful views of the hills, trees and vines. There were no other buildings in sight and we loved sitting on the little verandah watching the chickens...

Had a wonderful stay at Elfin Hill, we were made to feel very much at home by Marie and Mark. We enjoyed our evening concert (Neil young and crazy horse) and Marie's suggestions for winery and sight seeing. We look forward to another visit. It was the perfect, relaxing weekend. Can't wait to go back, this time for a longer... More

What a perfect retreat close to the vineyards and a great place to stay when attending a concert such as we did this past weekend to see Carole King at Hope Estate. Maree could not have been more helpful and accommodating, her relaxed and friendly service made our whole group feel immediately at home. Pluses - yummy breakfasts, comfortable clean... More

This is such a relaxing, peaceful place set in the vineyards - the rooms are very comfortable with everything you need. Marie served excellent breakfasts and the pool was very welcome on a hot day. Marie is... More
