Groups

We love hosting groups at our beautiful guesthouse. 

Our stunning surroundings lend us to being the perfect venue for a wide range of group events. 

The private setting and natural tranquillity make Thistle Hill Guesthouse perfect for Highschool Leadership Retreats, Planning/strategy retreats for political organisations, NFPs and committee AGMs, Gourmet Discovery Getaways, Family Reunions, Study Retreats, and health and

wellness retreats.

Time spent together is even better in a beautiful place with lawn games, swimming pool, and our fantastic fire pit. 

Get your group together for fun and relaxation!


Groups will love cooking together in our spacious gourmet kitchen and enjoying shared meals in our dining room which seats up to 30

people comfortably.

Your group can self-cater for your stay or bring in your choice of caterer. DIY meals can potentially save you a fortune on expensive dining options. The ability to arrange meals to your group’s dietary requirements can also be a big win for health and sporting retreats adhering to specific nutritional needs. If you’d like a hand with meals, we can provide buffet breakfasts and arrange delegate packages upon request.

Concerts & Entertainment

If you’re heading to one of the fantastic concerts in the Hunter Valley with your friends, why not turn it into a two- or three-day event.  

Make the most of your trip and do some wine tasting, play a round of golf or test your brains with an escape room experience. We’ve got plenty of suggestions of fun things to do within a few minutes’ drive of Thistle Hill.

Health & Wellness

If your group is keen to focus on wellness, we can connect you with Heart of the Hunter to facilitate a range of wellness activities. 

The spacious lawn overlooking the dam is the perfect place for boxing, yoga, meditation, and PT sessions, or if you prefer indoor facilities, there’s plenty of space in the Pavilion beside the pool.

Family Reunions

Book out our entire venue for that big family reunion! With three dedicated areas, you can enjoy time together and have some solace when needed. 

There’s space for everyone regardless of age and interests. With the variety of accommodation options, it’s easy for different groups to enjoy different activities. 

Did we mention we’re pet friendly?
