Leisure Inn Pokolbin Hill

In the heart of Pokolbin, Hunter Valley wine country — a family-friendly hotel set among vineyards and rolling Brokenback Ridge. About 90 minutes from Sydney and 50 minutes from Newcastle, with Hunter Valley Gardens, Roche Estate, Tempus Two, Brokenwood and Hope Estate all within easy walking distance.

Spread across 25 acres of landscaped gardens, the property offers self-contained studios and one- and two-bedroom villas with private patios overlooking the vines. Rooms are air-conditioned and range from kitchenettes with fridges and microwaves to full kitchens in larger apartments. Expect in-room spa tubs or jetted bathtubs in many bathrooms, upgraded Superior rooms with LCD TVs and soft furnishings, and plenty of native birdlife on the grounds.

Take a dip in the outdoor heated pool, serve up a BBQ in the undercover grill area, or smash a few sets on the outdoor tennis court. Rent a bike to cruise local cellar doors, use the tour/ticket desk to book tastings, and relax in gardens that invite early-morning vineyard views and native bird calls. Onsite laundry and free self-parking keep things easy.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, free self-parking and express check-in/checkout make stays straightforward for work or play.

Dine at Seasons Restaurant & Bar or the onsite café and snack bar/deli for casual bites. Continental breakfast is available (weekday and weekend hours vary), and the setting is perfect for a cheese platter paired with local Hunter Valley wines.
