One of the most historic hotels in the NSW Hunter Valley, The Sebel Kirkton Park has undergone aย pretty fabulous refurbishment withย interior design maestro Greg Natale at the helm. No longer a quaint country manor, the resort has been transformed into a chic and sophisticated establishment, set to become a favourite for Australian design-lovers, andย visitorsย alike.
The overhaul includes 70 guest rooms and several communal spaces including the lobby, lounge bar and restaurant, and combines classic country heritage (we love the horse prints!) with contemporary touches and plenty of Gregโs signature decadent drama.
โThere is nothing better than arriving to a luxurious hotel room or suite that gives that sense of being transported into your own little oasis. With The Sebel Kirkton Parkโs design, we were really careful to make sure the rooms were not โcookie-cutter roomsโ โ we really wanted to create that sense of occasion by heightening the guests’ overall experience,โ says Greg.
As for specific design elements, guests can expect to find plenty of Gregโs own designs from his Hudson lounge chairs and tables in the foyer (paired with Ralph Lauren lamps) and the gorgeousย Greg Natale Atlantic Blue wallpaper (available through Porterโs Paints) that adorns the reception and atrium areas. Another standout feature is the custom-built circular bench seat, that sits under a glass-domed ceiling, and greets guests upon arrival.
โThe overall design is a carefully planned combination of patterns with whites and blues that link back to the common areas of the hotel. The black carpets and rich blue drapes offset the pops of gold of the floor lamps and wallpaper. Itโs very layered and itโs very decadent. It transports you to somewhere very much unlike your own bedroom and thatโs part of the fun of a hotel stay,โ says Greg.
And whatโs even better is that room rates start at just $179 per room per night. Book your stay here.

Love the artwork he has chosen. As an animal lover it is good to see how the beauty of birds and horses are represented.
