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. Tower 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.

A Grand Award Winner of Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report and member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Tower Lodge 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’.
