We loved this place!! The location is perfect... so tranquil and beautiful. The actual accommodation is amazing. Very clean, very comfortable and practical. It really felt like a home away from home! The hosts (Evelyn and Stuart) are also a highlight. They are so welcoming and friendly. This really is the best spot in the Hunter. We are already planning our return stay!

We had a fabulous stay at the RDC and our hosts couldn't have been nicer or friendlier people! They were so very helpful with ideas for sightseeing while we were in the area and they made us exceptionally good breakfasts. We couldn't have been happier with our own private villa looking out on the vineyards complete with kangaroos hanging out nearby!! It was so very relaxing and the star gazing at night was spectacular.

The space, cleanliness, comfort! Breakfast, hospitality! Location was excellent. The help we got from Evelyn to reserve restaurants and transport was amazing! A lot of care and thought by the owners have been put on this property.

The well-decorated Semillon cottage is very cosy and clean. Outside the cabin, there are beautiful Semillon, Chardonnay and Pinot vineyards. The owners are helpful and friendly; they make their guests delicious breakfast and coffee at the Little Red Pantry. And we enjoyed the Semillon Frizzante very much made in this winery.

This place is an absolute gem. The owners, Stewart and Evelyn, greeted us with warm smiles as soon as we arrived and went out of their way to make our weekend getaway a fantastic experience. We stayed in the "Chardonnay" cottage which was beautifully decorated, had a great patio with a wonderful view of the vineyard. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom with spa bath was great. Breakfast was provided both days we stayed and it was absolutely delicious, Evelyn is a great cook! We really appreciated the fact that Stewart lent us bicycles to ride around the area, and we were very close to several other vineyards, I highly recommend biking around if the bicycles are available. We really enjoyed our weekend away and we've now found our go-to place in the Hunter Valley. We're looking forward to staying at the Red Door Collective for our next trip!

Great hosts. Good breakfast. Beautiful , quiet setting, beautiful stars at night!!!

The place was in a great location and the cottage we stayed in was perfect for us. Everything was very clean and the owners were fantastic. They made breakfast for us each day of our stay and joined us for great conversation. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone. We also appreciated the welcome gift of tim tams!!

Wish that we could stay longer. The suite was private and spacious with a separate living area and bedroom. The beds are comfortable with many pillows. The bathroom also has a very comfortable bath. The property is sprawling and full of things to explore. There is wildlife all around, many birds and kangaroos at twilight. Evelyn and Stewart are lovely and engaging hosts. They make you feel like you're a guest in their home. My wife and I were guests on our honeymoon and they gave us a very special and generous welcome. Breakfast was delicious and all sourced from local produce with large portions which is perfect preparation for a wine tour. Evelyn makes the most amazing chili jam that is the perfect accompaniment for any dish. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely room and Stuart and Evelyn were terrific hosts. A real bnb experience. We really enjoyed our stay

Lovely location in the vines. Private self contained cottage Comfortable bed. Our hosts Stuart and Evelyn were very attentive and have great local knowledge. Breakfast on both days was delicious.
