IHG has opened a second voco hotel in Australia – the voco™ Kirkton Park Hunter Valley. Opening up new options for IHG Rewards members, it follows a refresh and rebrand of the Kirkton Park Hunter Valley.
As the second Voco property in Australia, it follows last years opening of the Voco Gold Coast.
Located minutes away from the Hunter Valley’s wine region, the hotel is set on on 28 hectares of rolling countryside and has scenic mountain views.
Since taking over management of the Kirkton Park Hunter Valley, IHG has given the 70-room property a Voco makover. This includes features such as bright yellow accents, onsite beehives and other distinctive hallmarks.
Voco Kirkton Park Hunter Valley
Every guest will experience voco’s signature ‘come on in’ warm welcome which promises a swift and simple check in. In addition, dedicated voco hosts are available throughout the guest’s stay as resident experts. There is also a locally-inspired welcome gift including home-grown lavender nougat.
The rooms themselves include Aveda amenities, high speed Wi-Fi and cosy bedding. This is inline with the Voco philosophy of ‘me time’ during a gusts stay.
Around the hotel, there are facilities such as tennis courts, billiards room, an indoor heated pool, sauna and spa, and gymnasium.
World-class dining experiences offer a taste of ‘voco life,’ with a paddock to plate ethos. Locavore Dining and Epoche Lounge Bar provide lunch and dinner, while The Conservatory is home to the iconic high tea experience overlooking the rose garden.
The interactive vegetable garden is utilised daily and celebrates the connection between farmer, gardener and chef, with several beehives also onsite to produce honey for various uses in the restaurant and bar.
IHG Rewards
The property participates in the IHG Rewards scheme. This allows members to earn and burn points at the property.
On the earning front, Voco pays the standard 10 points per US Dollar charged to the room. The usual array of exclusions would no doubt apply.
Searching for rooms on random dates during the year suggest that rooms will be available for 40,000 points per night. Compared to a cash rate that is in the $300 – $400 per night range, it could be a good deal.
