“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.”

The room was on the ground floor (i found that very convenient). parking was right outside my room. the bathroom had both a tub and a walk-in shower. It was quite nice. breakfast was standard, but i enjoyed it.
the phone in the room lacked prompts for room service (i didn't realize this until i needed it).

The swimming pool and hot spa provided a bonus for me. I spent a good amount of time there. also, the hotel's location allows walking access to the village. That's a definite plus. the hotel offers a tennis court.
Rooms

The room decor was tasteful. It was also clean. the inclusion of a large spa bath added a touch of luxury. the outdoor area was secluded with a lovely garden view. the large king bed was especially good.
