“Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens presents a curious proposition; the location is superb, set amid the wineries and gardens of Pokolbin, and the grounds are undeniably beautiful, but the rooms themselves seem to be caught in a time warp. This property has the potential to be a true standout, but it needs a thorough refresh to truly shine.”
