| The Tower Lodge Experience |
Set among the vineyards of the Hunter Valley wine region of Australia in a climate of rare tranquillity, Tower Lodge has been designed as the ultimate retreat for discerning guests. The lodge is the latest addition to the Tower Estate which includes two restaurants and the Tower Winery monitored by the watchful eye of Australia’s pre-eminent ambassador of wine, and Tower Chairman, Len Evans AO OBE. The property is an amazing venue for a select few. Passageways bordering a cloistered courtyard lead to 12 air-conditioned guest rooms, ‘all a flight of fancy, each tableau a witty salad of styles’. This is Australia at its best - for food, wine and accommodation, the Tower is something very special.

Accommodation
- 11 rooms,
1 suites,
Check in - 2 PM, Check out - 11 AM
The large, individually designed guestrooms frame a Roman-style colonnaded courtyard. Among the many features are stained glass windows, furniture from a French château and Chinese dynasty tapestries. Some have a huge fireplace, others an outdoor plunge pool or balcony, but all have a sitting area, crisp linen sheets and all modern facilities. Two rooms are accessible for wheelchairs. The Oriental Room and Chairman's Suite are a 6 star standard. The Chairman's Suite is a separate building with it's own tower, a roof top viewing deck. The suite features its own chambers with fireplace and the bedroom boasts a 300 years old hand-carved Indian four-poster bed. The bathroom is marble with an elevated spa bath and separate shower. The Oriental Room features polished jarrah floors and a plunge tub on the balcony. The decor while oriental in flavour is a little wild and eccentric with an enormous Picasso print above the lounge.

Dining
The tariff includes breakfast, afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks in the lounge each evening. The wining and dining opportunities are exceptional. The Lodge Dining Room is open for breakfast and pre-arranged functions/dinners. Housed within the main building, the Lodge lounge/bar, dining room and library are in keeping with the 'excessive opulence' maintained throughout the Lodge. Robert's at Tower Estate is an ivy covered 1876 building, a high beamed, light filled restaurant with private dining rooms and a wedding chapel. A dining experience which is lovingly cooked, simply presented, professionally served.
