The Lane Retreat

a very new retreat, very nice view from the room. it reminds me of glamming. wish their pantry could provide more service and food options

New hotel, with a comfy bed. Staff members are friendly.

Relax, unwind and explore. This boutique, eco-friendly little retreat was a very welcome break from the hustle and bustle of city and family life for my husband and I. Everything was easy, well planned and made for a great experience. Check-in was a breeze with the room code sent directly to my mobile and email, including directions and contact info in case we needed it during our stay. Breakfast provisions were provided in the room, and they catered for my Gluten Intolerance perfectly; this made the two mornings we stayed so very easy as we did not need to plan or even leave the room for decent coffee and our food. The welcoming sage-green of our room and large windows just created this cozy little oasis where we could watch the sunsets with a wine in hand. We also admired the morning mists on the mountains, the wildlife in the vineyards and the occasional hot air balloon drift past while we had coffee on the balcony. This little gem will be recommended by us to all who need some fresh air and to unwind from the daily grind - we will be back!

We found that The Lane Retreat is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay right in the heart of the wine country. The Lane Retreat is very new and very clean. The amenities in the room were great and the breakfast was quite tasty. The view is fabulous and we spent a lot of time just sitting on the deck watching the ducks on the dam and the kangaroos in the paddocks. The backdrop of the Broke Mountains is just stunning. It is very close to the Hunter Valley Gardens and speciality shops plus the local wineries and cellar doors. Came home after two nights here feeling totally refreshed. Highly recommended!

Beautiful new Studio Style accomodation. Very comfortable beds and pillows. The bathroom is super modern with a double shower and the toiletries are great quality! Breakfast is included and the food is delicious! Lovely views, excellent pool and amenities. The landscaping and grounds are well maintained. A fantastic place to stay - I hope to return for another stay in the near future!

As the name suggests it is a retreat....and away from the everyday hustle and bustle is this simply whisper quiet, relaxing retreat. The place is relatively new and the grounds are getting established, however the cabin style accommodation is very modern and extremely well appointed. With the added touches of breakfast provisions for your stay, fluffy dressing gowns and towels for the pool our cabin had unimpeded views of the dam with swans, ducks, all manner of bird-life and wandering kangaroos. Perfect place to domicile while doing a little wine tasting in the Hunter Valley. We would gladly stay there next time in Pokolbin. Quite simply, we loved it.

It’s new so everything worked. Liked the keyless entry. Property send us the key code around 2pm day of arrival. Very tranquil overlooking the vines and hill in the distance. Breakfast was good but had no milk on the first day, and the staff didn’t replenish the opened muesli. The room was clean and airy. Good sized bathroom

The Lane Retreat is the perfect weekend getaway in the Hunter Valley wine country. The Lane Retreat’s secluded boutique lodging offers the idyllic place for the ultimate Hunter Valley getaway, drawing on its rural surrounds, cozy buildings, ample activities such the Bimbadgen Cellar Door which is only moments away for delicious wine tasting from the renowned award winning Bimbadgen wine cellar. The pool is a stunning outdoor oasis and the studio retreat rooms are spacious, peaceful and tranquil. With uninterrupted views over vines, fig trees and red volcanic soil to the Barrington ranges, the country location is restorative and relaxing. There are an array of stunning restaurants nearby to choose from including The Lane Retreat’s signature restaurant, Esca which showcases the local Hunter Valley produce. It was an amazingly relaxing, fun weekend.

One of the best properties I've stayed at in the Hunter Valley. Lovely calming outlook with nature surrounds. The sound proof between villas is so good you can't hear anything. It is really hot though in summer and the air con is too cold and directional. The bed and bathroom is amazing. The breakfast is generous, and the wine is incredible!
