cosy quirky boutique style with wonderful little touches and extras. The ladies were lovely and most knowledgeable A must stay in the township

Christie Australia

Excellent location, everything in walking distance. Friendly welcome by Kerrie, who rang us that our room was ready earlier than first advised and then showed us around and explained the facilities. Good size beautiful room, nice and cool when we arrived as the "heath was on" on that day, comfortable bed, excellent shared area, coffee machine/tea making facilities with plenty of choice. Port and chocolates available in the sitting room, which is beautiful and comfortable. Water and nibbles in the room. Cooked breakfast on the terrace, served by two lovely young ladies. Everything was perfect.

Host Info

Host Review Score
The Bronte was built in 1822 for the honourable Mr Caleb Soul of Soul Paterson Pharmacy fame. This fabulous residence was built on Lot 1 Swan Street Morpeth and named after Admiral Nelson the Earl of Bronte. The Bronte was purchased by the current owners in 2014 and completely refurbished to its current luxury standard with an eclectic fusion of Victorian and Asian antiques. The exterior of the building is next on the list to be developed, where guests can enjoy our divine cuisine and refreshments from the western courtyard.
The owner has a passion for service and food. He has recently added High Tea's and catered functions to The Bronte’s agenda and has plans to extend the food and beverage offerings further.
The Bronte offers stylish boutique accommodation located in the heart of the historic town of Morpeth, originally a bustling river port town founded in the 1820's. The township sits above an elbow in the Hunter River, its just 5 minutes from Maitland , 40 minutes from Port Stephens and Pokolbin Wine Country and is only an hour and half from Sydney and just 10 minutes from the end of the M1.
