Loved our stay here. It’s a quiet and serene location. Room is clean and comfortable.
Plenty of wood for the fireplace . Large wide verandah to enjoy the tranquility. Walked to circa 1876 restaurant only 5 mins away.

The Carriages is such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay in the Hunter. So central but it seems like it's so far away from all the activity and very secluded.

The Carriages stay was just what my wife n I needed, a log fire, luxury bed and home comforts.

The Carriages is set in the lovely Hunter Valley, we stayed in a comfortable sized room for 2 people and enjoyed our hamper containing our breakfast which we ate on the beautiful wrap-a-round verandah. The owners were very helpful and polite.

The bed was awful. So hard it was like sleeping on the floor. The couch is also very saggy. The bathroom was old.
