We had such a beautiful stay and could not recommend Elfin Hill more highly. From the moment we arrived, everything felt so welcoming, relaxing, and thoughtfully put together. The accommodation was beautifully presented, incredibly comfortable, and had such a special atmosphere that made our stay unforgettable. Waking up in the morning to the stunning view from our room, listening to the birds chirping, was incredibly peaceful and honestly one of the highlights of our stay. We were also treated to a warm breakfast, along with tea and coffee, lovingly prepared by the owners Marie & Mark and brought directly to our room, which made the experience feel even more special and personal. Every detail had clearly been considered, and the whole experience was simply lovely.Thank you for such wonderful hospitality, we will absolutely be recommending it to family and friends and would love to return in the future.

Marie & Marc were great hosts. We were given a choice of rooms & we decided on the one closest to the " Community Room" we were able to heat food in the microwave which was in the large kitchen. This is the third time we have stayed at Elfin Hill & will enjoy coming back. Tricia & John

Our weekend stay at Elfin Hill was magic. The property so close to all the great wineries and attraction. The owners Mark and marie are so welcoming making us feel like we were special guests. They are both on had for anything you need or request, they are onto it and so friendly. On the Saturday night Mark lit the fire pit offering us a superb relaxed atmosphere to watch the sunset with some wine and local cheeses. The property is just so beautiful, a real escape from city life. Everywhere you turn is a citrus tree, great for the gin drinkers. The rooms are so quaint with everything we needed for a relaxed and cosy weekend. We can’t wait to visit again, this place is a must if stay in the Hunter Eine region.

We had the most perfect stay here while attending a wedding just down the road at Villa Toscana. The rooms were spacious with everything we needed. My favourite feature was the balcony overlooking the grounds.

A gorgeous place stay in a beautiful, serene part of the hunter valley. Within reach of some great vineyards, but you could easily stay the whole time on the property - it’s so quiet and well tended. The afternoon views from the verandah are stunning! Excellent service from the hosts, who provide lovely breakfast and are also happy to chat.

A beautiful & secluded location, yet relatively close to wineries and restaurants. Welcoming & friendly owners, Marie & Mark, make for a relaxing stay. My favourite place to stay in the Hunter.
