My boyfriend and I stated at the Tonic, from a friend referral, and it was great! The owners are very accommodating and laid back (which was our experience with almost everyone in Australia!). The rooms are cozy and the view from the patio is beautiful! We had kangaroo's right in front of our patio in the morning and the sounds... More

We stayed in the two bedroom apartment recently and had an exceptional weekend. Ian and Janelle are fantastic hosts: very generous and delicious breakfast provisions in our fridge, friendly helpful suggestions for wineries and restaurants, and a welcoming dog-friendly policy which was great for our elderly golden retriever! The big verandah overlooking dams and paddocks is really idyllic. Beds and... More

We stayed in one of the suites for a weekend in November 2012, and it was great. When we arrived at dusk the frogs and other animals were making a chorus, very tropical. The setting is very beautiful, and the house we stayed in was designed in a minimalist but cool and comfortable way. We were looked after well but... More

WoW!! Just fantastic. The rooms were gorgeous, clean and practical. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The view across the dam,vines and mountains lovely. The breakfast left in the fridge was perfect (Janelles museli is to die for!). Ian and Janelle are great hosts, welcoming but not intrusive. The lounge has a communal area where you use an... More

We were very impressed with Tonic. Upon entering our room (more like a cabin), we were met with a personalised welcome message, a clean, modern, fresh and funky room and a generous cheeseplatter! Ian was so attentive and helpful and the complementary brekkie was a treat! Tonic is private and perfect for couples or groups of friends. We highly recommend... More

Tonic is a wonderful hotel in a beautiful location. The facilities are superb and the view sensational. The best thing however, was the hospitality of host Ian. He could not have made us more welcome, from meeting our bus with a glass of wine when we returned from a concert to taking us out to dinner, Ian was warm, friendly... More

The rooms were very cosy and each had spectacular views of the property - watching the sunset from our balcony could of only been enhanced by a comfy day bed (We would of never left). Ian the...

If you want a departure from the traditional Hunter accommodation (floral curtains anyone?!) then Tonic Hotel is for you. Think effortless chic with polished concrete flooring, clean, minimalist decor and a beautiful big, modern bathroom (complete with a bath in which you can recline). Add in a heavenly King sized bed (with quality bed linen), big white, fluffy towels and... More

This was our second time staying at Tonic and we will be coming back again! Ian and Janelle are such fantastic hosts! They are always happy to help and always have great tips about the area. This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking to relax in an area which is not as commercial in the Hunter.... More
