Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Slice of Heaven We definitely struck gold finding this amazing property in Hinton. Every room was impeccibly decorated, beds super comfortable and the view so tranqil. There was no shortage of luxuries. There is an outdoor sauna overlooking the expansive paddock, a firepit with a built in yarning circle, piano and a full sized pool table. Our teenage children played games of pool followed by sitting around the campfire playing their guitars, which was so heartwarming to see them interact like this rather than sit on their devices. There is also a selection of great reading material in the library lounge area as well as games and puzzles. We are already planning our next visit back. Thank you Penny for letting us stay and for your incredible communication. From enquiry to booking and checking out was seamless. ![Amazing sunset ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c13254a0-7858-44ad-abd6-0ba5a8392470-1749514659560.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Firepit with yarning circle](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c89db200-173c-4a0f-b4d9-8864524d4c8b-1749514678268.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Main living area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39e25ea3-2a60-4cfc-b95b-3a05e2ee9614-1749514875940.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sunset and Paddock view from the sauna](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c294f87e-b9d5-4fb8-90f7-e8672d74368f-1749515014509.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Catherine Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Canmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels.d10131.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Sydney-Airport.h38420088.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Australia Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Tank-Stream.h11718621.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Sydney Wentworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sofitel-Sydney-Wentworth.h426577.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Amora-Hotel-Jamison-Sydney.h454969.Hotel-Information) > > [SKYE Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-SKYE-Suites-Sydney.h24507540.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney-Coogee-Beach-By-IHG.h1747.Hotel-Information) > > [YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-YEHS-Hotel-Sydney-Harbour-Suites.h426104.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [Little National Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Little-National-Hotel-Sydney.h54032015.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h4807.Hotel-Information)
