Very tidy grounds. Stayed in the Chardonnay cottage which had comfortable beds, kitchen lounge area. Large bathrooms with lovely toiletries. Owners were fabulous to deal with! Highly recommended

Evelyn & Stuart were very friendly hosts. The suite was super comfortable with the luxury of a large spa bath. It was wonderful to stay at a working vineyard & Evelyn cooked the best French Toast for breakfast I've had in a long time. Very handy to great restaurants, cafes & cellar doors.

Nothing, was impressed

Wow, upon arrival, you’re greeted by the owners, Stuart and Evelyn, who genuinely want you to be part of their journey. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the property is immaculate, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is a highlight, especially the chorizo omelette—it’s delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back for future stays! What’s even better is that they support local farmers and businesses, which adds to the community feel and sustainability of the experience. The Red Door Collective RDC is a must for a reset and relaxation getaway. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge!

It’s perfect. You feel like you have your own space to relax and enjoy the Hunter. Stewart and Evelyn were amazing hosts and the best part was the breakfast! Delicious. Made the stay even better!

Honestly I don’t think I could say, it was very very peaceful

The breakfast was sensational, beyond expectations, it was included in our room price and both myself and my partner loved it, i had French toast bacon and banana and she had an omelette, Location was within 20 minute drive to all activities we wanted to see,

We loved everything about our stay, but relaxing on the comfie outdoor lounge with beautiful views over the gardens, vineyard and mountains was a highlight. I highly recommend staying here if you are planning to do some cycling - the Hunter Valley cycle way goes past this property.

Evie and Stewart are the most amazing hosts (by the time we left it felt like they were old friends), happy to give suggestions on places to visit, eat and do tastings. The first day, we did a wine tasting including a cheese platter with them, their wines are so full of flavour (the Frizzante was an absolute winner for me). We stayed in Chardonnay cottage which was perfect, spotlessly clean and had literally everything we could ask for. They even did the most amazing charcuterie board for us to enjoy on the patio while enjoying the sunset (highly recommend). Breakfast each morning was exceptional and huge portions, we are coffee snobs and Stewart’s coffee was perfect 👌🏻. We will definitely be back and with friends too 💕.

There is nothing not to like.

This is a beautiful spot on Hermitage Road between Broke and Pokolbin. Evelyn and Stewart are amazing hosts and joy to chat with. The breakfasts are very generous and tasty and Stewart's barista skills yield a great coffee! The accommodation is well appointed and cosy with a very homely and genuine feel to the whole place. And on top of that, their single vineyard wines are excellent! Thanks for a great weekend!

Nothing particular. Price was a little bit high but not unusual for Hunter Valley accomodation. Overall nothing major.

Extremely helpful staff very lovely location great service. Highly recommended, with great breakfast options and lovely wines. The cellar door was easily accessible from accomodation as well.

A beautiful gem in the hunter valley. The cottage was very inviting and the fireplace made it lovely and toasty. The night sky put on a real show with the Milky Way in full view. It was a perfect place to get some peace and quiet and have a restful holiday.

Absolutely loved the balance between the privacy we experienced with our cottage and the large amount of open space on the property with the friendly and inviting environment in the main building/restaurant with the other visitors and Evie and Stew. Breakfast and the coffee was fantastic, lvoed that they ahd us set up by the fireplace and remembered our order from one day to the next. The cottage was gorgeous, sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset at golden hour, the beautiful big bathtub, the warm room with lots of rugs and blankets. I loved walking around the property with the fresh air, beautiful views and gardens.

Nothing, it’s perfect!

Everything is wonderful - the location, the views, the comfy bed, the fire place, the wine, but nothing beats the wonderful hosts Stewart and Evelyn and their big pups Mona and Geronimo. Evelyn makes the best brekkie and Stewarts coffee is perfect first thing in the morning, they are so kind and fantastic to chat to. They made my birthday special and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

We have a king sized bed at home so we find anything smaller a bit o a challenge 😂. We booked a two bedroom cottage which was a bit pricier than the other options and more than we needed for the two of us - but we wanted the wood fire which was lovely in the Hunter Valley winter.

Well appointed cottage with full sized fridge so we were able to bring some cheeses and other snacks from home. Plenty of wood available for our fire - we were certainly cosy! Got to choose a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival (pinot noir- delicious!). Amazing a la carte breakfast and barista coffee included (I had yummy french toast both days). Evie and Stew were the perfect hosts - we enjoyed meeting them and chatting over breakfast. Really well located for the wineries we wanted to visit on this trip.

Nothing.

The Red Door is not only a wonderful place to stay in the Hunter Valley as it is close to the popular vineyards and restaurants but it is a place where you will feel at home, the owners Evelyn and Stuart and of course Geronimo & Mona the The cutest dogs made our stay a unique experience. When you visit them, be sure to try Evelyn's wonderful dinners. We were really surprised by how well she cooks. We had a beautiful experience and I hope you have yours, we will definitely return, I just hope that with all the good reviews we find a place to book.

RDC exceeded our expectation! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were welcomed by big smiles into a warm cozy environment. We were made to feel special & spoilt all weekend! Nothing was to hard, no request was denied. We even had freah curries made to take home!! From the private wine tasting, to the mouth watering freshly home made meal….to the grounds….this truely is our new ‘happy place’!!! Our ‘home away from home’…. The cottage was devine, the decor was impecable… The fireplace & spa bath topped it off!🥰 Evelyns meals are next level!!! We had laksa delivered to our cottage on a chilly evening after a long day wine tasting….OMG!…the silence as we enjoyed every bit of flavour… Do NOT leave without having Evelyns laksa & curries!!! She makes a pretty mean omelette also!- perfect start to a day of wine tasting…🤤 We could have sat & chatted with Evelyn, Stewart & their fur babies alllll day!!!😙🍷🍜🍷

The hosts Stuart and Evelyn were lovely, they made us feel very welcome. We loved the intimate setting. The a' la carte cooked breakfast each morning was also delicious.

Evelyn and Stewart were absolutely incredible. I've stayed at many places across the globe (including high-end accommodation in Japan) and I've never experienced such amazing hospitality. The breakfast blew me away with locally-sourced ingredients and Evelyn is a magician in the kitchen. This location is a textbook Hunter Valley getaway and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The abundance of perfect reviews may seem too good to be true, but I promise you that Evelyn and Stewart are just that good. The passion they share for their guest's experience shines through and I've never felt so comfortable staying at any other accommodation, anywhere. If you're looking for the ideal stay at the Hunter Valley, I implore you to look no further. You've found it.
