Response from the manager
Thank you for your review. We do appreciate any feedback of any kind and are dedicated to improving every experience for our guests. We are sorry that you found the property didn’t meet your expectations and needs for your stay. We have shared your feedback in full with the owners, housekeeping and maintenance team for their attention. Stonegate is not advertised as having WiFi however, if requested, we are always happy to provide a dongle for your stay. We further purchased tennis racquets for you when advised you did not bring your own and we will leave these at the property for future guests. In-house theatres, if you’re not familiar with them, can sometimes need a helping hand and our after hours team are always on hand to assist. We will look into the integrated fridge and why the door was not easy for you to open and close. Thanks also for the feedback regarding additional hanging space and drawers in the main bedroom - great tip! Just to let you know maintenance has ordered a new dial plate for the oven, now understanding that this has worn. Jennet please come and stay with us again where we will look forward to finding the perfect property for you and your guests next time you’re in the Hunter. Sasha - Hunter Valley Stays.
