Wine Country Motor Inn
Five minutes from over 130 cellar doors, right in town
About this stay
Wine Country Motor Inn's biggest asset is its position: a five-minute drive covers more than 130 of the Hunter Valley's vineyards and cellar doors, about as central a base as exists for a serious tasting trip. Rooms carry modern furnishings and reverse-cycle air conditioning rather than a rural cottage's rustic charm, which suits travellers who want reliable comfort over character. High-speed wireless internet covers anyone needing to check in on work between tastings, and complimentary guest laundry handles a multi-day trip without packing for every outfit in advance. The nearby Cessnock Leagues Club lets guests charge meals back to the room, removing the need to carry cash or find parking twice in one evening. With 809 reviews and an 8.7 rating, it's the area's most established motor inn by a clear margin.
- 5min to 130+ vineyards
- 24-hour security
- Free laundry
- Central location
Our take
This suits travellers prioritising proximity to the cellar doors above all else, since few Cessnock stays put more than 130 wineries within a five-minute drive. The 24-hour security and laundry facilities suit a longer tasting trip well. Anyone wanting a self-contained cottage with a kitchen and private garden should look at the area's holiday homes instead, since this is a motel-room stay.
- ✓Charge dinner back to your room at the nearby Cessnock Leagues Club rather than carrying cash between the inn and the bistro.
- ✓Use the complimentary guest laundry midway through a longer tasting trip rather than packing for every single day.
- ✓Book ahead in peak season, since 809 reviews suggest this inn fills up fast among regular Hunter Valley visitors.

Rooms have reverse-cycle air conditioning and fast wireless internet, parking is free off the street, and the complimentary guest laundry helps families on a week-long trip pack lighter.
