We were two couples and only spent one night at The Longhouse but had a great time and it certainly exceeded our high expectations. The architecture was great and innovative. Opening the door and finding they slid back to create a 6 metre opening and almost the same with the glass doors on the front wall so that you could... More

This is without doubt the best place we have stayed in the hunter valley. As soon as we drove up the long driveway we knew it was going to be peaceful and relaxing. The design is fantastic. The fireplace a real treat on our cold stay and the enormous stack of firewood outside, great. We had the apartment to ourselves,... More

A beautiful nights accommodation at the Longhouse last week. We wanted to relax and get away especially as we only had one night and as soon as we got here it was instantaneous. The view from the apartment was fantastic and the facilities excellent. I had mentioned needing a taxi to Jo and she had left the number on the... More

We loved our stay at The Longhouse. As soon as you walked in the view was breathtaking. The decking makes the place, along with both huge sliding doors that makes it all open plan. Great location yet far enough away to feel really secluded. The beds are so so comfy. All in all a welcome break from Sydney and we'll... More

What an amazing property. Gorgeous design, super clean, comfortable beds and just a great spot to take time out from a busy schedule. Management were fantastic. Some of the reviews about the management on here are not accurate or fair to The Longhouse. I found them to be overly helpful and polite. The property is spacious and both bedrooms are... More

Loved the atmosphere. Great view. Showers did not appear to be cleaned - hair on floor and used soap in dish. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay. Comfy bed and nice towels. Visiting kangaroos added to atmosphere as did the lifting morning mist before the sun broke through.

I stayed at The Longhouse with my partner and two friends for one night after spending the day wine tasting. The accommodation itself is very comfortable, modern (the bathrooms are especially fantastic) and spacious, with a great terrace overlooking the surrounding vineyard. One of the two bedrooms is slightly lacking in privacy as it is partly open to the living... More

What a fun and relaxing place to stay - the Longhouse delivers in many ways! Tranquil, funky and everything you need. An excellent spot to base yourself for all your Hunter Valley needs... we got picked up from our door for our wine tour and we also were close enough to drive to all the places we wanted to visit....

We only stayed for two nights but were lulled into deep relaxation and tranquility the moment we opened the enormous sliding doors. The industrial architecture and layout reflect great thought and is perfect for 4 people. Opening out onto a large deck and overlooking the open pasture, rows of vines, dams and with the mountains in the distance, it is... More
