We have travelled around the world extensively and Thistle Hill was one of our best experiences ever. The accomodation and setting is breathtakingly stunning, and the breakfast setting and food absolutely sensational. As inner city dwellers enjoying a 'tree-change' weekend and attending a wedding in Pokolbin, we didn't want to leave! The hosts Peter and Carol are charming, friendly and... more

We had a fabulous time at this lovely B&B run by the most accommodating of hosts, Peter and Carol. We arrived late on a Friday night after a gruelling week and a hellish drive from Sydney through the torrential rain to a warm welcome - met at the car with an umbrella, followed by a warm bowl of soup, a... more

Thistle Hills is an absolute gem to be found in the Hunter Valley. My Mum (who was out visiting from the UK), myself and my fiancé booked Lavender Cottage for our 2 night stay in late July. We couldn’t have stayed at a more welcoming, friendly and beautiful place. When we arrived the fire was already lit for us and... more

The Thistle Hill Guest House is the perfect place to stay while visiting The Hunter Valley. Carol and Peter are very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms are lovely, with beautiful attention to detail. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, setting you up well for a day of wine tasting! Definately one of the best B&B's I've been to. more

We stayed at the Thistle Hill B&B for two nights. Claire, the owner, was extremely helpful in planning dinner reservations and which winery to visit. When we arrived at Thistle Hill late on our first night, Chloe, the resident kangaroo greeted us at the front door. We had wine, olives, and cheeses waiting in our room. The breakfasts were also... more

We have just returned from a two night stay at Thistle Hill in the Hunter Valley. We were sad to leave as we had such a wonderful time there and can't wait to go back there again soon. Peter and Carol (the owners) were wonderful and they really know how to look after their guests well. On our arrival we... more

A B&B is our preferred choice of accommodation, (more intimate and informative to the area your visiting) my husband and I have stayed at many B&B's around Australia. Most of these B&B's have been wonderful but some have just not measured up. The photos lie or the experience is not what one would expect. So with this in mind I'm... more

On the 5th of May I was winging my way to Australia for the 3rd time. Each trip has been memorable in its own unique way.This time, however, I decided to bypass the cities and visit somewhere off the beaten track. My destination was 'The Hunter Valley', an easy two and a half hour drive north of Sydney. The Valley... more

Thistle hill was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. We traveled up from Sydney with 8 couples, last weekend and had the place entirely to ourselves. The property is beautiful and Peter and Coral were the perfect host. The rooms where very comfortable and I loved the log fire in the cottage. We all commented how peaceful the weekend... more
