Planning a Hunter Valley escape while visiting us at John Wallace Wines? We can’t wait to see you!

To help make your trip easy (and extra enjoyable), we’ve put together our top picks for places to stay near our boutique Pokolbin cellar door. These spots are close by, super comfortable, and offer the best of that relaxed Hunter Valley lifestyle! Think vineyards, views, and slow mornings with coffee (or a cheeky early bubbles).

Whether you're here for a romantic weekend, a family trip, or a mini-escape with friends, or you just want to drop in and say hi, here are our favourite Hunter Valley accommodation recommendations.

The Station – boutique luxury close to everything

Distance from us: 2 minutes

The Station is stylish, private and beautifully done. The kind of place that feels special from the moment you walk in. Expect lush bedding, modern interiors and peaceful vineyard surroundings. It’s the perfect base for a romantic weekend or a luxury girls' trip.

Why we love it: Gorgeous, intimate and only a couple of minutes from our cellar door. Bliss.

Palmers Lane Estate — spacious villas with vineyard views

Distance from us: 1 minute

If you're looking for Hunter Valley group accommodation, Palmers Lane is your go-to. Their villas are modern, roomy and surrounded by vines and gum trees. Perfect for families or groups who want space to spread out, have long lunches, and kick back with wine on the deck whilst watching kangaroos grazing. 

Why we love it: Peaceful, modern and ideal for a relaxed weekend away with mates – plus, it’s only walking distance from us.

Hermitage Lodge – central and cozy with vineyard outlook

Distance from us: 3 minutes

Hermitage Lodge is right in the heart of Pokolbin, making it perfect if you want to be close to restaurants, wineries and all the fun. Rooms are comfy, many have balconies overlooking vineyards, and the team always makes you feel welcome.

Why we love it: Super convenient location plus vineyard views = winning combo.
