Vineyard Hill
Vineyard Hill is among the first bed and breakfast provider in Lovedale for over 27 years. Centrally located in the Hunter Valley, we are just 5 minutes from quality cafés, restaurants and cellar doors in Pokolbin and Lovedale. Guests can enjoy the panorama view at the heart of Hunter Valley. Our affordable accommodation is self contained and is suitable for groups or couples. We have a total of eight villas of one and two bedrooms, designed and built by well known architect Ken Mahar, current professor of UNSW, who has been awarded by the Australian Institute of Architecture's highest accolade, the AIA Gold Medal. Crowne Plaza, Hunter Valley is just a short stroll or a 5 iron away. Cypress Lakes Resort and The Vintage are also close by for golfers. Stay and relax with your friends and family in our villa accommodation. Ideal for that special get-together, we can accommodate up to 36 guests in comfort. Our barbecue area has seating for 36 people with lighting and power for music. Please call us if you would like a quote to book all villas for a large group event & function.
Cool off in the warmth of summer in our gorgeous swimming pool or gaze up at the stars while relaxing in the heated spa. If you wish to be energetic we have a fitness circuit and pitching hole or you could take a walk around the property or to the nearest cellar doors, Allandale Wines and Capercaillie. Our villas all have reverse-cycled air-conditioning and heating. Please inquire about our affordable Hunter Valley pop-up weddings; Celebrant; accommodation and catering all on-site at Vineyard Hill Resort.
