This is the second time we have stayed at The Convent. The first was some 16 years ago. It is a beautiful old building but unfortunately the quality and size of the rooms do not reflect the price charged. Location is lovely and the staff wee very friendly and service was great. Breakfast was good with choice of hot or... More

We stayed for a couple nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were given a superior room that was in a separate building overlooking the pool. Beautiful room, and very spacious! Price was fair at $249/night. Spa was broken, and was the only flaw. Beautiful gardens and tennis court! Close to all of the best vineyards. Hostess Denise was very nice.... More

Pro's - Beautiful old building, fantastic location, great staff and nice breakfasts. Con's - Pool is unclean, Spa was empty, Massively Overpriced for the room, unclean room and bathrooms. We had a down stairs room, and due to the age of the building you can hear every creak and groan from upstairs. The water system and the outdoor part of... More

The Bad: The Spa was broken (as it appears from other reviews has been for a while now), The pool was full of leaves and bugs, the verandah and exterior had paint falling off and generally the building was in need of...

While the setting of Peppers convent is lovely, the building itself is unfortunately badly run down and has poorly maintained. The exterior has old chipped paint, and the curtains are half hanging down in the windows. The decking of the verandah is weatherbeaten- badly in need of a sand and varnish. The car park has several potholes. When we arrived... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in the week before Christmas 2011. We paid $249 a night for the room and breakfast, which I thought was a really good rate. The hotel itself is beautiful. Absolutely perfect for the Hunter Valley setting. Given all the rain the area had been having, everything was amazingly green all throughout the Hunter. It... More

We stayed for one night at the Convent recently. The staff were lovely, the setting is top notch, but the rooms need a little overhaul (especially at the rate they are charging people). There were broken tiles in the bathroom, the shower curtain was so old I don't think it has even been changed. It wouldn't take much to improve... More

We recently held our wedding at Peppers Convent, and wanted to share our experience for future couples considering this venue. The place is gorgeous, and was a beautiful place for us and our guests to stay for the weekend. The rooms were lovely, and breakfast each morning was nice continental style. However after spending well over $20,000 to have our... More

We stayed for two nights- Friday & Staurday night. We found all the staff to be very lovely and helpful. We arrived after the canapes hour had finished on the Friday evening and the lady had saved us some which I thought was very lovely of her. Our room (superior room number 8) had a great position on the corner... More

Peppers Convent is a beautiful old building surrounded by luxuriant gardens and set in the Hunter Valley vineyards. The common areas of the building are tastefully decorated and their atmosphere is enhanced by the fireplace. Our guest room was on the lower level and was adequate but pokey. The television was small and old (pre-dating anything plasma or flat screen).... More
