We have stayed here many times, and we have never been disappointed. The staff go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyedable stay.
Great property and place to stay
Nice place
Nice place. Beautiful setting on the golf course. We stayed in a one bedroom villa unit which was pleasant enough but a bit tired looking. Bed wasn’t the best either - felt like I was rolling downhill all night.
Very relaxing place. Beautiful views. All staff were very friendly and helpful.
Just a good place to visit
Fantastic value for money. The accommodation was clean, modern and comfortable with a gorgeous view and conveniently placed to all amenities on site. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking is right outside the door. Highly recommended
Another lovely stay at Chateau Elan. I will definitely return again soon.
Pay the extra for a hotel room
We had booked a Villa Studio with Golf View room. Very disappointed with it. Firstly, it was run down and in need of refurbishment. Secondly, the balcony had a solid wall and, if you were sitting down, your eye level was below the top of the wall - that's not a "View". Spoke to reception and upgraded to one of the Spa Suites in the main hotel block for a discounted upgrade fee. So much better. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Open space good size rooms.
A most soothing and calm place to stay from the scent greeting you as you walk in, to the staff and their demeanor as well as the room and surrounds.
Great hotel on the golf course . Clean reasonably priced . Large rooms nicely latest out. Need to ask for toaster fyi. Nice restaurant on site. Staff at front desk very helpful
It's the third time I've stayed at the Chateau Elan, and I was extremely disappointed in the overall cleanliness and facilities provided. Our room had dead bugs around the place (floor and bathtub), which I noticed immediately upon check-in. The bathtub looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned, with dirt rims around the inside of the tub tub, (I booked the spa suite purely for the bath and I was too turned off to use it). In addition, the main light didn't work in the room and given I was rushing to attend a wedding, I didn't have time to waste and managed to do my makeup with very poor lighting. Overall the room was terribly dusty, to the point that my sinus' has become severely inflamed the last two days with mild nose bleeds (as I am pregnant and sensitive to dust). Breakfast buffet was just as poor, with the food being Luke warm and hardly felt fresh (aside for the fried eggs I ordered fresh). I don't typically like leaving negative reviews, but for the premium price paid, I'm extremely disappointed. I cancelled alternate accomodation as it was my preference to return to this venue, based on two positive past experiences. I'd like to hope Chateau Elan takes this seriously, as I verbalised my concerns at checkout, and am awaiting to hear from management.
Good to have EV charging at Reception. Courtyard for room was spartan and unloved.
Lovely place staff was very pleasant beautiful smell as soon as you walked through the doors bed and pillows extremely comfortable
Great stay, would stay here again.
It was a perfect stay. Amazing, spacious, room, stunning view from room, helpful staff, great facilities. We enjoyed every moment there.
Lovely room
Lovely room with great view very quiet overlooking the golf course Huge bathroom Couple of minor maintenance things to look at
Huge room, luxurious bathroom Will definitely stay longer next time
We originally planned for just 4 nights but extended our stay an additional 3. Everyone was so extremely nice and helpful but Rozie in reception went above and beyond with our bookings, our tours, our room. She made our trip over the top excellent. Highly recommend! The golf was beautiful and challenging but we booked it twice because of how nice it was.
Just beautiful
Such a beautiful hotel. Staff are lovely. Highly recommend.
Great place to relax and fab location
Really lovely location with loads of resident kangaroos to watch. Fab golf course and pool really nice. Wonderful place for rest and relaxation.
Excellent location and great views. Close to all the wineries and cafes. Breakfast included each day was lovely and dinner at Harrigans Tavern was amazing.
I had the best time i will come again staff was great 👍
Loved the property and the accomadation, food was great. Staff were friendly.
Will go back again...pure luxury. Great pool , lovelybroom, great staff
Shops and restaurants near by.
Have stayed here before and will come back again. It’s a beautiful setting with everything you need. Well worth the trip.
We loved that its clean and has high standards. The staff are all very helpful and polite.
A wonderful place to stay for business of pleasure
Set on a beautiful property. Very quiet and peaceful even though it's on a golf course. Staff were helpful and lovely. Amenities were good and the villa had a fully equipped kitchen, although very basic coffee bar supplied - no tea or coffee, only pods. My stay was very enjoyable.
We loved our stay here, great facilities and we were lucky enough to get an upgrade for free! Beautiful golf course and staff were exceptional! I would say though that the parking situation is not ideal, even us staying mid week the parking was full from over flow of day time visitors.
Accommodation was peaceful.
The whole place was spectacular, very manicured lawns,golf carts picked us up very promptly as the whole place was very spread out. Would definitely be going back
The property is clean but it’s getting old. I was expecting a close to perfect accomodation. Staff are wonderful as usual.
Legends restaurant was great. Service by the 2 female staff exceptional at night.
Time to relax
Wonderful time … quiet, very comfortable, facilities there if we wanted. But we just chillled out and had a relaxing time away from the Hub-bub of Sydney.
Nice place to stay but noisy with weddings etc.
Wonderful location, friendly staff with golf buggy transport if needed, spacious rooms, wonderful coffee at the club house, relaxing stay.
Had a lovely relaxing stay… the staff were fantastic, friendly and quick to assist where needed ..
Very nice hotel overall with friendly staff. The only issue was our room was not cleaned overnight for our 2 night stay. The only VIP perk was free WiFi and no upgrade offered. Otherwise very nice and would stay here again.
Great place for family
They charged me $250 for room deep clean without sending me the invoice. All it was, cofetti on the floor and dishes in the sink. So dissappointing end to my trip
Very central to all winery's, the facilities on the property are excellent, the golf course was fantastic and the pub on the property is quality.
Recharged
Beautifully tranquil and peaceful. The spa was one of the best I’ve been to in Australia, and all of the restaurants offered exquisite food and wine options. The setting is relaxed and visually stunning.
Time to relax.
I think this is one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed at. Everything was perfect, not even 1 random hair. It was lovely. Once we were on our room it was like no one else was around and we owned the place. The spa bath was beautiful to relax in. The only thing that I didn’t like was the opaque doors for the toilet and shower. As well as the gap above the door to let any sounds or smells to roam the bedroom. This isn’t a place to take the kids (not that you can’t) it’s a place to enjoy as a romantic getaway.
The staff were very professional. The room was very very impressive. We will return
Needs a deep clean.
Stayed in one of the Villa blocks. 80’s feel, room ok, spacious, but the lounge furniture was old and sacked out. Balconies spoiled by bird and duck poop. Even the restaurant chairs were old and sacked out. Needs a broom through it.
Lovely setting on the golf course, spacious room.
Unique room. Enjoyed my stay. easy pick up for wine tours around region.
Great place and service
Quiet property
Beautiful property. One of the best in Hunter Valley.
A very quiet clean property, with great friendly and polite staff and nothing was too hard for them. Great central location to explore the region
The kangaroos
Staff were lovely. Accomodation, clean and tidy. Highly recommend. Relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be back again!
Property is becoming a little dated, and requires a little bit of maintenance.
It was great spending time over here, especially with kids. Room was huge and able to use kitchenette was another point! Loved there with lots of kangaroos , def will return !
A pleasant week away
After having stayed at Chateau Elan a few years back and having a great experience, we decided to revisit, but increase the duration of our stay. From the moment we checked in, we were greeted by welcoming staff, and comforted by a balcony room that was made daily, and overlooked part of their golf course. With nearby restaurants literally a short walk away, it made for some laid back nights. Their onsite Day Spa is well worth planning ahead and making a reservation in advance!
Was perfect! Rooms probably due for an upgrade though, cracked tiles and old carpet
NA
Mattress was too soft
Wonderful. We will be back.
Always love coming here. Room service option would be pretty awesome if they had it.
Chateau Elan is a good spot to stay in the Hunter. The sprawling grounds and spacious rooms are comfortable, although on site dining is somewhat limited with ageing menus. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would visit again -- though would mention in room amenities like the fireplace (not working) and TV (slow/broken casting feature) may indicate the rooms need more thorough servicing.
Loved everything
The spa was the best event as well as the room's outdoor covered area. Having a bath in the middle of the room was disappointing, as well as no handles to grip onto. the bottom of bath very slippery and dangerous. On arrival we had room service of 2 wagyu burgers. They were very nice except they gave both my wife and I a very bad case of food poisoning. We wasted a full day of our 3 nights stay not being able to leave our room's toilet.
Had such a wonderful stay. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
We had a wonderful time the staff are great. We would recommend to anyone.
Very pristine.
Gorgeous grounds, close to vineyards, beautiful rooms.
Beautifull scenery with nice clean spacious room
The reception 2 did not have my room ready even though I had a spa appointment what was I going to do leave my partner in the car so I did not get to attend my appointment which was over $400 dollars . The reception kept saying it was still dirty status and the room was still dirty once I checked in. Very unpleasant
Great place to stay
Easy checkin, thanks Georgia! Super comfy beds and fabulous block out curtains. Our room had everything we needed.
A couple of tweaks and could be a very good 4star
There is a huge gulf in quality from the food and drink here. To what a true 4star hotel should be. The TV's in the place are either running off low res Foxtel or are 10yr old TV's. The welcome drink is a crappy cheap cocktail. (a tap beer or house wine would be better) No onto the biggest let down. The breakfast... we actually went elsewhere for breaky on the 2nd morning. Put out some: Cheese, Avo, cured meats, capsicum, onions. The cheap items that lets this place down: No decent hotel coffee machine, tinned fruit, no veggie snacks in the golf shop (egg is not a veggie option - 1 of us is veggie)
First, but not last stay.
Only a one night stay, butbwould be happy to come back again for longer.
Thanks Greg
Fabulous large room and facilities
Very clean and roomy accommodation with relaxing rounds and great foood
quiet and v comfortable but not true wild nature
This place is very comfortable, huge bathroom, huge room, and service is excellent - very polite and helpful. If you love golf or quietness this is for you. However, if you're looking for true nature experience go elsewhere, this is a golf course so it's a man-made environment.
Perfect
This was our 2nd time staying at Chateau Elan and it was a perfect as the 1st... love this place!!
The service was not the best ! Spa was out of order ! Pool were too busy with kids and family !
The property needs a renovation. the space is good in the villas. the room service food was very average and a very limited selection.
A stay in the nature.
The stay was wonderful, having said that, the place is definitely needs a lift up.
We enjoyed out stay there. It was our second visit. It would have been an exceptional experience if the check-in process was welcoming..
Lovely setting , spacious suite
Liked the property.
We had dinner at Legends restaurant where the service and food was excellent. The whole complex was beautiful and very quiet. Very large room and bathroom. Housekeeping staff are to be complimented too.
It is overall a nice setting. The villa, however was average, lots of bugs, ants, fly screens damaged, both safes were not working. Overall, we felt it was a tad overpriced for what we received. Staff was lovely and helpful.
Room was spacious and clean. The area around the room is amazing. Buffet breakfast was good with fresh fruits, continental, baked beans, mushroom, hash brown, coffee and juice. Great place for families.
Relaxing and warm. The staff were kind and helpful
Very friendly staff; very accommodating. The room was great: clean, well prepared, and modern. We had a lovely time!
Although I am not a golfer, this is a great place, and I would recommend the villas to everyone. We enjoyed our stay, the wineries are close by, and being surrounded by greenery is uplifting, the gym is nice and small, the pool is very nice too, with a small section for kids.
Great place for a getaway but you need to book way in advance for the spa. We stayed weekday and had to go elsewhere for a couple spa treatment
Very comfortable with top quality appliances, toiletries snd towels etc.
This is one of the best properties that I have stayed at in the Hunter. Spacious bathrooms and rooms. Decor was beautiful, staff are amazing, the property is beautiful. Will book there next time I’m in the Hunter for sure!
Great views, lovely grounds. Would stay again for longer next time to take advantage of the golf
Everything was exactly how it was described. Rooms were beautiful and the property was gorgeous. Even a family of Kangaroos lounging outside my balcony thought so.
The big 5 star
Had a great weekend great service a very comfortable room. Highly recommended
