Peppers Guest House, Hunter Valley

Nestled in the heart of New South Wales’ Hunter Valley wine country, Peppers Guest House embodies the spirit of the Hunter and is one of the region’s best loved retreats perfect for a weekend getaway or short break.

Surrounded by beautiful gardens and overlooking vineyards with an intimate relaxed atmosphere, the comfort and elegance of our accommodation and Restaurant Sanctuary's (formerly Chez Pok) long standing reputation for exceptional fine food and wine, combined sees guests return to our retreat year after year.

Peppers Guest House is ideally located two hours north of Sydney and first opened its doors in 1984 as the very first Peppers Retreat. The concept of a contemporary style guesthouse offering relaxation in luxury surrounds with fine wine and gourmet dining was an instant success and remain the defining elements at the core of our Peppers Retreats today.

Offering a variety of accommodation styles, our retreat features 48 deluxe accommodation rooms and suites, each tastefully furnished in Peppers' distinctive boutique style. There is also one exclusive self-contained four bedroom cottage.

Simply slip into the indulgent world of our stunning retreat, sip delicious local Hunter wines on the terrace or head to the retreat’s own endota spa for a touch of invigorating pampering or even try a signature Vinotherapie treatment. At sunset head to the veranda outside award-winning Restaurant Sanctuary, enjoy a glass of crisp Semillon or famous Hunter Shiraz overlooking the beauty of a sun-set over the vines and you even might be lucky enough to enjoy a visit from the local kangaroos.

The Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s great wine producing regions with over 100 wineries and Peppers Guest House is ideally located to explore a wide variety of these picturesque properties. Offsite you can also enjoy activities including hot air ballooning, golf, bushwalks, horse riding, 4WD tours and cheese tasting at the Hunter Valley Cheese Company.
