New England, New South Wales hotel rooms at the Independent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!"

"We had a wonderful, spontaneous trip! What started as a quick lunch to celebrate our 10-year anniversary turned into a weekend getaway. Emlyn, who hosted us, was fantastic and made the experience truly special. She made us feel welcome right away and took the time to explain the resort and its amenities. Top-notch hospitality—she really made our stay memorable!"

"We’ve stayed at Spicers Guesthouse several times, and it has become a favourite for accommodation in Pokolbin. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, ie they are able to help with most queries without having to consult with supervisors or managers. The rooms are clean, spacious enough, and well appointed."
