Hotel McDougalls Hill

« I would have LIKED to stay at the Royal. I'd made a booking but ran late getting there. No text message. No email. And no keys or anything in the late arrivals box when I got there. You can imagine how great that felt arriving in a dark carpark, with everything closed, and nowhere to stay. I was lucky to not end up sleeping in the back of my car, but had to suck up paying for a room at another hotel (also closed by the time I got there, but at least there was a bell I could ring). Late check...

« the rooms look like they are old and in need of a renovation. »

« Staff lovely, room clean, traffic noise loud »

« Grande chambre Vue vignes Propre et bien équipé A conseiler »

« Rooms are a bit tired looking but extremely comfortable and clean. We skipped breakfast but enjoyed the delicious $95pp 3 course evening meal. The hotel grounds are lovely. There's also a great Irish bar, Harrigans about 1km down the street. I can't wait to return. »

« Room was neat and tidy, we were located in a quite area which was perfect, the addition of the Spa was awesome, rear entry to the room made bring bags in so much easier. The atmosphere in the room created a very relaxing environment and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. »

« So beautiful »

« Shower leaked, air conditioner on a timer and turns itself off, first checkin text no access code given therefore I had to contact property, dirty coffee cup, left over food from previous guest, half a roll of toilet paper with no replacement. Two nights of accommodation with only one bath towel per stay. No housekeeping during the duration of our stay. »

« Lovely location. Lovely crisp clean accommodation. Breakfast very light with limited condiments. You actually don’t have contact with any staff. »

« Last minute check in, the person who met us was very lovely to deal with and the rooms are nicely fitted out and clean. Definitely recommend to stay here. »

« Plenty of space, lovely to have the outdoor table for dinner - plenty of deckchairs by the pool. Great outlook onto a vinyard and heaps of roos lazing about. Very close to the Hunter Valley Gardens for the xmas lights. Some good restuarants close by. »

« A warm welcome and great location for the sunburnt country festival. The suite had everything we needed. »

« Near shop & air con worked »

« Tres bel endroit directement au coeur des vignobles. Kangourous sur la route, de type motel l'arrivée est très facile, resto sur place et tout se deroule facilement. »

« Lodges hyper spacieux, situés sur le golf. Propre, bien équipé. Restaurant de l'hotel très bien, quoi que le décor laisse à désire. Vous voulez jogger à l'aube, sur le golf, avec les kangourous? Cypress est pour vous. »

« Le personnel a été exemplaire et l’ensemble est très bien. »

« The positive first: A very nice and helpful lady is the keeper of the place. Unfortunately the negative is heavy. Everything is very old, the room is small, the mattress is terrible, the tiny bathroom is smelly and a major noisy road passes 100 meters away. The breakfast is not on site but in a coffee shop on the other side of the busy road. I booked far ahead of our trip to Australia and paid 260 AUD per night, more than I paid in 4 star hotels in downtown Sydney or Melbourne. This is a...
