Broken View Estate — Hotel in Rothbury

Great location and views. Also enjoying kangaroos and winyards (not horses). The breakfast included is really good ( muesli, coffee, tea, milk, orange juice, jam and butter, eggs, bread and bacon). Towels, shower gel, soap and blankets provided! Even a bottle of wine which is a very nice taste of the country side. We are disapointed with the cleanning. A simple view it was clean but when you look near tv, the bedhead and lights next to bed it was full of old spiderwebs covered in dust. Also we didin't know the oven doesn't work, which it would have been a great value for us if the owners had let us know so we didn't buy pizza for dinner. In addition we could not rest at night because of the amount of mosquitos that came to the room even taking care everytime we opened the door. Maybe it's because the backdoor ( the one in the main bedroom) doesn't have a mosquito net and it has a big hole at the bottom which we had to cover with paper to try avoid cockroaches and mosquitos entering ( which they did anyway). The pool was not open in the middle of November which is fine but it could be great if they had told us beforehand. Overall the place is in a very good spot, we enjoyed more the days than the nights because of the insects but is...

Lovely views and estate, room however was not worth the price paid, I understand the tiny signs in the kitchen about bugs and dust but the amount that was in there, was not from a days worth, villa has been left uncleaned and unattended for quite some time, am from a country town myself and was quite disappointed in the lack of care in the villa, broken furniture, one being the chairs outside that stabbed us due to being broken at the back, broken lounge, mouldy fridge, filthy microwave, dirty cutlery and crockery, unmaintained grass, cobwebs all over the place, lifted kitchen floors, hair on the bathroom floor (lady said she came in and cleaned when we left for the arvo, didn’t really look like it) dust under the bed and on all wooden surfaces, including the lights, the list goes on, really poor, looks like the first 3 villas are better maintained than the last 2 further away! A real shame as it’s such a beautiful area to stay in! Would go back if they cleaned properly and explained things better, especially the breakfast...

I am so happy we found this place! We had an amazing stay, unfortunately only for 2 nights this time. We'll make sure to stay longer next time! The location and the property itself is just magical, the views over the lake and mountains in front of the villas and the beautiful vineyard behind the villas are beautiful! The villas are cosy, spacious and comfortable, the corner spa bath is a great bonus for a romantic weekend! We fell asleep to relaxing nature sounds and enjoyed breakfast with the included provisions each morning. On our first morning we walked through the vineyard and saw so many kangaroos hopping around, one even with a joey. Such a special moment! The location is perfect for visiting all the wineries, everything is just a short drive away. Pete has been super helpful at all times when we had questions. We cannot wait to go back and bring friends and...
