What a lovely place run by lovely people.
Coming here at night, we were greeted by the lovely Marie who showed us to our comfortable, log cabin styled room.
After a brilliant, albeit windy, nights sleep, we awoke to a wonderful view of the rolling hills of the hunter valley,glimpsed through gum trees.
Elfin Hill provided complimentary breakfast of tea, coffee toast and cereal, but we opted for the reasonably priced cooked breakfast ( I had the breakfast bruschetta ) sitting, watching the vista.
As is usually the case, the wind which had the ses on high alert in Sydney, did somewhat marr an otherwise perfect experience, but you can hardly blame that on Marie and mark who really make you feel at home.
If you want a sanitised hotel experience with butlers in tightly laced formal wear, then this is not the place for you.
But if you feel like staying somewhere quiet ( there can't be more than 10 rooms) and friendly with some delicious breakfasts and two cute as a button owners who go out of their way to help you, then this is the place for you.
I'm just a bit upset at the weather, but I will definitely come back in the summer for a few days so we can utilise the pool!
One of the better places I have stayed in the hunter, audit doesn't hurt that it's just around the corner from a lot of wineries, if a bit of vino tasting is to your liking. I like the reds :) read more
