Berenbell Vineyard Retreat - Polkobin - Hunter Valley — Hotel in Pokolbin

We have been returning to Berenbell for 7 years now. We love it! We have stayed in all 3 cottages and they all have stunning views of the Brokenback Mountains, are peaceful and homely. When we stay we feel like we have our own home away from home in the country. The location is perfect with a couple of restaurants in walking distance or staying in for the evening watching the sunset in front of the cosy fire on a winter’s evening with some locally produced cheese and wine. In warmer weather or on a sunny winter’s day you can sit comfortably outside and enjoy the gorgeous view. We particularly love the morning kangaroos, hot air balloons, orange sunsets over the mountains or the mists. Ken and Susie are wonderful hosts who provide everything you need for a delicious breakfast and ensure the cottages are extremely comfortable. They are there if you need them yet leave their visitors to enjoy this beautiful place. Thank you Susie and Ken for always being so welcoming, kind and thoughtful and having such a fabulous place for a relaxing get away that we want to keep...

Hard to have a better experience of the Hunter Valley than by staying at Berenbell Vineyard Retreat on Mistletoe Lane Pokolbin. We (my husband and I and our adult daughter) took the two-bedroom lodge with king bedroom and bathroom upstairs, queen bedroom and bathroom downstairs, with sitting-dining room and kitchen (with stovetop and microwave) also downstairs. Outside a terrace, with table and chairs, and a beautiful view over vineyards to Brokenback Mountain. We were there for a family reunion at a vineyard nearby, but it would be absolutely ideal just for a relaxing break to read and meditate looking at that beautiful view. The lodge was so generously provisioned - a dozen eggs, bread, butter and spreads, six bottles of orange juice, a variety of teabags and a coffee maker, plus six delicious blueberry muffins. And a bottle of local red wine. A very warm welcome from the hosts, Ken and Suzie, lots of brochures with information and maps, and the potbelly stove already stocked and ready to...

Wow… highly recommend Berenbell Vineyard Retreat. It is one of the most beautiful and tranquil places to stay at the Hunter Valley. Located in Pokolbin, it was close to the various wineries and restaurants we chose to visit over our 4 day stay. The retreat accommodated our group of 5 couples perfectly. We each had the privacy of our own cottage, however, we could easily get together in one of the larger cottages or outdoor area for nibbles between wineries, pre-dinner drinks or a meal. ||Our cottage (and the property) is spacious and has a beautiful outlook. We enjoyed the morning and afternoon vistas as we sat on the verandah with a cuppa or glass of wine, listening to the birds and watching the wildlife. The cottage is very clean and had everything that we needed, including breakfast provisions, a Nespresso machine and cooking facilities. The pot belly fire is perfect for winter and the bed is very comfortable. ||Thank you Suzie and Ken. We had the best stay and look forward to...
