Large rooms with comfortable beds

Large rooms with comfortable beds

01/2016 Our room is in the main building on the floor of the hotel lobby. Unfortunately the room was very close to the reception so that noise from the lobby and the adjacent restaurants are easy to hear. The room is equipped with two large and very comfortable beds. A balcony with table and two chairs which is accessible via a sliding glass door. The bathroom is also large and tiled in fancy shades of brown. A walk-in shower and an extra bathtub housed therein. However, the shower is only good usable for people up to 1.70m. The shower head protrudes approximately at this level of the wall, what a botch!

Nice restaurant with high noise level

Nice restaurant with high noise level

There is a big nice restaurant in the hotel on the lobby level. We did not eat there. The hotel was completely overcrowded due to the Christmas holidays and at the restaurant were raging around 50 children. Therefore we went to the Hunter Valley for dinner. Because almost all wineries were closed, we went to a delicious asian restaurant. Wine from the region was also available there.

We also had breakfast out of the hotel. The breakfast buffet at the hotel cost 33 AD per person with the same noise as the evening before. Just a few minutes by car we ate comfortably for half of the price.

The Hotel Crown Plaza is located right near the tourist information center and the airport of Hunter Valley. But do not worry, only very small machines land here. Around the hotel building itself attracts a golf course between large and small lakes. The hotel is also only a few minutes by car away from the heart of the Hunter Valley. Here you can let yourself taste at the various wineries wines. Good food can be found here also. Best beforehand at the front desk to ask, because not all wineries offer a warm kitchen. On holidays, many wineries have closed.

Extensive sports and activity listing

Extensive sports and activity listing

The hotel has a large swimming pool, a golf course, a football field, tennis courts and much more. No wonder then, that this hotel is completely filled with families. In addition to the rooms in the main house there are many bungalows and villas in the grounds. As we IHG Rewards Member, at this hotel we even had free WiFi for up to three devices. Otherwise, the wireless is chargeable. For this you have here for Australian conditions above average fast connection.

Conclusion

Conclusion

The hotel is actually located really gorgeous and beautiful. Who wants to be active in sports - go here! Because our stay was during holiday season the restaurants and pool were crowded massively. All the pool chairs were occupied and even in the water a lot was going on - swimming was impossible.
