What guests think

At Estate Tuscany, travellers highlight the peaceful vineyard setting and friendly, pet-friendly service, with stays spanning serene, view-filled days by the pool to convenient bases for winery visits and relaxed country walks with kangaroos nearby.

Guests often appreciate spacious rooms, value for money in the Hunter, and on-site dining, bar and wine tasting when operating. Common drawbacks are dated interiors, inconsistent cleanliness with insects reported, confusing or limited reception hours, patchy in-room Wi-Fi, and repeated problems with hot water, air conditioning and other ageing fixtures. Overall, expect a rustic, scenic base near wineries with friendly staff but variable maintenance and dining availability.

The rooms are very spacious and overlook the surrounding bushland. The restaurant and bar are excellent, and breakfast is very good. There is a lot of walking space around the property and lead to a very nice pool. Great place for families or just two people.

The staff and service at reception were friendly and welcoming. The swimming pool was well maintained and the kids loved it. We stayed for 5 nights. After the first night, our room was serviced but the rest of the nights were not which meant all the rubbish that was accumulating were attracting cochroaches. It also meant we ran out of toilet paper so had to ask. The hair dryer was all sticky and only limited channels on the usual TV ones. Breakfast was included with our booking. If it wasn't included, I would not recommend to go there. Everything was overcooked, very disappointing. We also noticed on the pull out sofa bed that the sheets may not have been changed on arrival as there was dirt inside the sheets, the pilllows and sheets smelt like perfume so had to turn the pillow over and there were lots of blonde hair on the sheets which ours are dark. Although it was good value for money in comparison to the other hotels, it was still disappointing 😢

I had a lovely room with a relaxing, quiet view over the vineyards. Apparently, the kangaroos prefer the olive groves early in the morning!! Apart from a very peaceful and comfortable stay I thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and the associated restaurant (the Mill) was fabulous. Highly recommend

Amazing pet-friendly accommodation in the Hunter Valley. Literally was welcomed everywhere we went, felt like our puppy got more attention than us, he was spoiled. We would definitely recommend Estate Tuscany and would stay there again.

Outstanding value for money. Property is clean and well kept. Location is walking distance to a couple of wineries if you want to sample a few and don’t want to drive ( driving to many many more) and a brewery across the road. Bed is comfortable, air conditioning, pool for the summer. Breakfast is delicious. Love this place. Perfect for couples

I am a return client and love this venue. Accommodation as requested, check-in and out was easy and friendly, parking close to unit and free, excellent facilities for conferences, weddings, family groups, birthdays, reunions or great for couples. Catered for Gluten free meals a big plus for me. Overall great experience and I shall return.

Cleanliness

Feedback is mixed: several guests praised clean rooms and pool, but many reported insects (mosquitoes, ants, spiders), dust and cobwebs, stained or unclean bathrooms, and inconsistent servicing. Overall standards and maintenance feel uneven.

The view and area was lovely. We were here for a wedding at another venue. Reception was confusing, moved from the main entrance. Estate Tuscany has lost its shine, needs some major renovations and some love. Room was comfy but bathroom tile grout needs a big clean, leaves everywhere on the patio, dirty windows and bar fridge broken and dirty. Be careful walking with all the patched potholes in the driveway areas. Restaurant was nice but seemed understaffed? Great coffee. So much accommodation now in the Hunter, so probably would not stay here again.

Reception staff (Jayne) always friendly and welcoming. When we arrived in our room, it was very dirty with a lot of dust everywhere especially under our bed and our bed sheets were very dirty. I left a note for housekeeper to make them aware, but the room never got vacuumed or swept for our entire stay, so i ended up doing it with wet towels as if was really bad! The view was amazing and apart from the dirty room, we loved our stay.

The good: Lovely, clean pool, beautiful peaceful grounds, visiting kangaroos on the lawns in the evening, dog friendly. The bad: Rooms more than tired, the sleeper couch was OLD and has a super thin mattress and the sofa part was heavily stained. The breakfast attendant was super careless, the breakfast was tiny and not worth the money. The ugly: Our feet were literally BLACK from walking around in our own room for 10 minutes. This didn't get better on day two even after the maid service was just through. It's fibe if things are tired, I get it takes time and lots of money to upgrade things. But there's no excuse for very dirty stuff. That's just sloppy and doesn't deserve my hard earned money.

Dated and clean would have been perfect. However, the standard at this hotel is unacceptable: Poor aircon - a trickle at best Share the room with flies, mosquitos and spiders Insects splattered all over the walls and ceilings Torn bed sheets Nails clippings beside the bed No pride at all.

The rooms are really run down, cracks and patches and stains throughout the paint work on the wal, timbers water damaged (doors, frames, skirting’s), furniture is super old (bed is very squeaky, damaged, stained). They also don’t do a thorough clean, cob webs everywhere even around the bed frame, dead bugs throughout, dust build up on surfaces that should really be wiped down in between customers, not sure when the last time the carpet was steamed. You need to do a balancing act to try to turn off the water, a millimetre out and the water won’t stop running. We paid an extra $50 per room for an earlier check in at 12pm because they need to ensure the rooms are prepared for our stay, not sure what cleaning and prep they did for the extra payment. The rooms are right next to each other but there’s hardly any soundproofing, we could hear next doors TV on all evening. And the worst part, the AC in our room was old so when we turned it on, being a bit more into the country there’s lot of bugs especially at night. They must have been hiding in the AC unit so once we turned it on it caused a disgusting bug infestation. The AC unit is right in front of the bed so, as you can imagine, it’s evening time after reception is closed, tiny little bugs covering the bed and everywhere else. Given that bugs are so prevalent in the area, I don’t understand why they don’t do a quick spray of the room after a guest has left then clean, just a generic spray from Woolworths or Coles, $5 bucks.

I paid for 3 nights but left after the 2nd. That was enough. The only high point was the helpful girl at breakfast on the 2nd day. Problems included: A. Plague of insects, especially in bathroom B. Spider webs and spiders hanging from ceilings C. Had to defrost freezer so I could use it D. Mini bar price list supposed to be in front of compendium but it wasn’t E. Front door steps and balconies look like they’ve never been cleaned F. was missing bathroom linen when I checked-in G. Tv channels kept blinking on and off and subtitle option not working at all H. Only way to get hot water in shower is to turn off the cold water tap completely I. Dirty furniture in room J. Breakfast was booked (by staff) for the wrong time - 8.30 instead of 9.30. K. Gardens poorly maintained

Motel style rooms with parking outside. Vineyard view rooms have undercover parking designated per room. Rooms starting to feel a little dated. Bathrooms could do with a spruce-up. Everything is in good condition and clean. Would recommend staying if you’re after great views and a more rustic than modern feel. Comfy beds and aircon. We would stay here again.

Room could do with a little repair here and there but all in all a lovely staff, restaurants and a winery on the estate ground's and plenty of other wineries within a short walk or drive. Would definitely stay here again!

Room was very basic and walls so thin we could hear our neighbour yawn (and talk, tv etc). Overall looked very run down and has outdated interior. Great location but definitely not worth the room charge of $450 per night. I do appreciate everything is inflated in the Hunter, but still felt we were stung.
