We stayed for 3 nights with 2 other couples from Sydney and Ulladulla. From the minute that we drove up the driveway, we were spoilt by our hostess Bobby. Nothing was too difficult for her, with restaurant bookings, winery tour booking and heaps of options for things to do for the "boys" whilst the "girls" visited the Hunter Valley Gardens.... More

Spent the weekend here with the in laws in one of the cottages. The cottage is beautiful from the outside and has a lovely pitched ceiling, fireplace, and wraparound balcony with full BBQ provisions and seating. The interior wasn't to my taste and was not in keeping with the surrounds however it was functional and clean. The bed was a... More

My wife and I spent one night at Splinters while we were in Hunter Valley on a winery tour. The location was perfect, the accommodations first rate, but the best part of the visit was our host, (Ms.) Bobby Jory. As I said to her as we were leaving, I have been to fancier B&B's - - but I have... More

We stayed two nights in one of the cottages, and enjoyed the experience. Booby is a great host and quickly organised a dinner reservation for us. In the cottage, two bedrooms and a lovely open plan living, dining room with adjoining kitchen was great. High ceiling up to the roof with one bedroom up on the mezzanine and another on... More

There was just nothing about our 3 night stay at Splinters that could have been bettered. Room and breakfast were of the highest order and eating on the patio in the morning air overlooking the garden was just wonderful. Bobby was the ultimate host. She is very comfortable in providing service and quality of the highest order and the little... More

We stayed at Splinters in one of the beautiful 2 bedroom cottages. Bobby greeted us upon our arrival and showed us the ins and outs of the cottage and the surrounding grounds.

We spent 2 nights in one of the beautiful, spacious lodges. Bobby cannot be commended highly enough. We were left cheese and wine, port and chocolates and generous provisions for breakfast. We enjoyed the pool, the one hole golf, the distant view of a kangaroo and the perfect peace of the place. Bobby booked our cycle hire so that we... More
