I agree with JR1Sydney - accommodation very basic albeit the bed was comfortable but certainly not worth the price paid ($380 1nt d/b/b). We booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1 as the room in which we stayed was quite run down - the sliding bathroom door got stuck each time you tried to open or close it, so had to leave it ajar enough to slide ourselves in & out.... the shower door was cracked & the vanity old & broken. There was a sewerage stench that seemed to invade the room at night making it difficult to sleep although we had the aircon on (which was noisy) - it had no effect. And yes, the squeaky verandah could certainly be a problem with people walking up & down at all hours. We did eat at the restaurant & did enjoy our meal - the waitress very friendly & attentive but breakfast was as others have said - only a basic continental breakfast available. For the additional night we found alternate accommodation at the Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens where we were upgraded to a deluxe spa room for the price of a studio room - $302 1nt d/b/full bkfst - chalk & cheese!
