Quiet central location. Cosy open fireplace and sunny verandah.
Love this getaway- the property was cosy, comfortable and conveniently close to everything. Loved the open fireplace it was romantic with a bottle of red and a cheese board. Would stay again 5 star
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 property offers relaxation and a swimming pool/tennis court.
Highly recommend in such a convenient spot to the Hunter Winery region. Thanks for a lovely stay
It’s beautiful property away from everything. Perfect place to relax. Hosts are lovely people, helpful and understanding. We have been here 25 years ago and if anything it’s better now. We will be back.

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 location is beautiful and the hosts are so welcoming & lovely. It is a guest house so you are connected directly to your Neighbour’s. It was enjoyable for us but just to say, your Neighbour’s are important!
