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.

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.

The atmosphere is like a magic place; the owners are amiable. The whole place is very beautiful and comfortable, so relaxing. I reserved a special dinner for two people; the food was fresh and delicious. You can taste the local ingredients. It is a perfect place to escape from a busy work life. They also have a huge shower and a bathroom with a jacuzzi.

Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Our accommodation was tastefully decorated, incredibly comfortable and we found it to be a very relaxing quiet stay. Perfectly located for checking out and visiting all that the locality has to offer. Our breakfast was delicious! Especially Evelyn’s homemade Chilli jam. (My husband insisted I add that comment)

I can’t think of anything that we disliked.

Breakfast was original, varied and excellent. The location in the middle of Pokolbin is very central and convenient. Evelyn and husband were friendly and most obliging and we felt like part of the family.

I didn’t have any complaints at all about our stay.

It was very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Evelyn and Stewart made us feel very welcome. The food and wine was amazing and their homemade savoury chilli relish is so good. We stayed in the Chardonnay cottage such a lovely place.

The only thing that could have been better was if the couch in our suite was a little larger.

Very clean and well appointed, very hospitable hosts. Comfy bed, nice linen, great bathroom and lots of personal touches.

There was nothing we didn't like - it was superb!

What an amazing property! If I could give more than 10 stars, I would. We stayed in the Cabernet cottage/suite which was this cute apartment. We saw Kangaroos on the property, and it was so quiet and peaceful amongst the vineyards. The bed was so comfortable with high quality bedding. The full hot breakfast was excellent, and we really enjoyed visiting with the hosts. I would highly recommend RDC for your stay in the Hunter Valley!

Everything was perfect! From our lovely hosts to this magical place, we had such a lovely time. Breakfast is delicious, the view on the vineyard and the mountain is superbe and the place is really quiet. We had lovely notes and balloons in our cottage because that was our 10 years anniversary. I will recommend this place to everyone that wants a nice weekend in the Hunter valley!
