New England, New South Wales hotel rooms at the Independent

"Safe and clean rooms. Staff were attentive. Breakfast was wonderful as well."

"We had a really lovely stay. The staff at check in were polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the area as we visited from interstate. The grounds were kept beautifully maintained, there were a few different options within close range for meals and within short driving distance to a lot of the vineyards. The only issue I had considering the price per night was minor damages that should have been fixed such as the mini fridge door coming off its hinges. Overall great stay and will definitely recommend. "

"Spent one night here with friends as we drove through the area. Both our rooms were very clean and comfortable. We both stayed in Luxury King Suites. Absolutely no complaints or criticisms. The Horatio management have obviously developed a good system, and it works!"

"Hotel has been nicely renovated Only issues - shower drains over the bathroom floor and toilet behind the bathroom door."

"A very enjoyable overnight stay, would recommend for a short stay. "

"Beautiful location, close to many of the popular wineries. Villas were very cozy, spacious and comfy. Shame it was only for a couple of days but will definitely return in the near future. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Wine Country! I can’t say enough good things about Harrigan’s Pub in the Hunter Valley — it’s the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience. From the moment we arrived, everything just felt easy and welcoming. The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and had that cozy-yet-modern feel that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. You can really tell cleanliness is a top priority here. We also really appreciated the safe and spacious parking — such a simple thing, but it gave us great peace of mind, especially being in a popular tourist spot. The overall atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Whether you’re enjoying a meal at the pub, strolling through the grounds, or just relaxing on your balcony with a glass of local wine, everything feels laid-back and luxurious at the same time. It’s the kind of place where you can fully unwind. Highly recommend Harrigan’s for a weekend getaway or as your base for exploring the Hunter Valley. We’ll definitely be back!"
