Elegant and serene 2 bedroom apartment

The apartment is situated in cypress lakes resort in a very quiet setting. The owners have done a wonderful job with the presentation, it is perfectly styled and each bedroom has its own bathroom which is great. The apartment was very clean. The kitchen had everything you needed to be able to cook and make your own meals with a counter top and dining table to sit around. Having a coffee machine in the morning was a godsend ! The outlook and the occasional kangaroo hopping by was wonderful !! Thank you and looking forward to visiting again 🤩

Great location to stay for Hunter Valley trips!!

Comfortable retreat for 3 lifetime friends to stay & enjoy the Hunter Valleys beautiful scenery/Vineyards & so close to the concert we went to @ Roach Estate last night which was fantastic with return transport so easy 🎼💞🎼 The place would be much better with some much needed maintenance please 1. The front door was stuck & difficult to open plus no lighting to see what you are doing with the code entry. 2. There were cobwebs & dust in most corners. 3. The uncovered balcony was covered in dirt/leaves/spiders that we had to sweep up & the uncovered outdoor setting is rusting from being exposed to the elements (marked all of our clothes). 4. The kitchen sink tap is not secure - comes out of socket when you try to use it (also loose tap in the downstairs toilet). 5. The dishwasher is dangerous - when you release to open the door it falls very heavily (it hit my knee - bruise only thankfully but if a baby or toddler was under/near could cause serious head injury) + it leaks water In use also.

Clean country air

Great experience sipping wine out on the back balcony on the verge of the bush, hearing the bird song and glimpsing the wallabies out for a hop. Very tastefully furnished apartment and I'd like to return for a winter stay and enjoy the fire place.

Great spot to relax

From the drive in to departure two days later, relaxation was on our mind and our stay did not disappoint. The unit was beautifully decorated, having all the mod cons. With a stunning view to the south of the broken back range, relaxing in the balcony was made easy. Each room had a well appointed ensuite and huge king beds. Air conditioning was much needed and worked well. Parking and access was easy. The kitchen included a full fridge and coffee machine. Villa Cabernet did not disappoint.

Nice and Central

Overall I was very happy with my stay here, the complimentary wine was a really nice touch to our stay and the property was clean. We didn’t cook in the kitchen but we did use some utensils from the draw that could have been cleaner but otherwise we had a great stay, nice and central.

Disappointing

After a highly efficient reservation and check-in process, we had high hopes. However, we were disappointed with Villa Cabernet. One of the bedrooms and it’s associated bathroom did not appear to have been cleaned since the previous guest. The kitchen bench had food crumbs on it, and the outdoor table setting was filthy. On the second night of our stay, we were unlucky to have a group of loud and drunk males partying on the deck of the villa next door ALL NIGHT from 4pm-7am. Asked them twice to quieten down and received a tirade of offensive abuse. Dreadful. Appreciated the bottle of wine left in the fridge, and the kitchen basics like tea, sugar, olive oil, etc. Nevertheless, we won’t be back.

Hi Allison. Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Villa Cabernet - it was very much our pleasure to host you and your guests here. We were concerned to read your comments about the property not being clean and have made urgent enquiries with our housekeeping team as to why this could have happened. We are so sorry that you experienced this as it is certainly not how we would want a property to be presented on arrival. Our apologies also for the noise that emanated from your neighbours - should you have called our after hours phone we would have called the Resort and requested that they address the matter immediately. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us your review and we look forward to hosting you once again as our valued return guest. With thanks from the Team at Hunter Valley Stays.

Villa Cabernet is the perfect house for you and your friends. My friend and I stayed in it for 2 nights and it was great. It is perfect to stay in for the weekend and catch up as well as explore the Hunter Valley and be able to relax whenever we wanted. It was great that we had lots of space and weren't always on top of each other. It was great
