Hunter Valley

Indulge with great wine and gourmet produce in the picturesque Hunter Valley, just two hours north-west of Sydney. Golfing fans will love the acclaimed golf courses, and for a little pampering there are fantastic day spas throughout the region to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.

Also worthwhile is a visit to Hunter Valley Gardens with its simply stunning feature gardens spanning over 25 hectares. A great way to view the Hunter Valley region is with a sunrise hot air balloon flight.

The Hunter Valley is well known for its award winning wines with over a hundred wineries and cellar doors for you to explore. Allow some time to browse the many galleries, antique stores and boutique shops where you can sample and purchase home made condiments and sauces, handmade chocolates and delicious Hunter Valley cheeses.

To experience unspoilt wilderness, travel a further hour to the World Heritage Listed Barrington Tops National Park. Here you will discover sub-tropical rainforest, ancient beach forests and sub-alpine woodlands as well as meandering streams, waterfalls and towering cliffs, with the plateau standing at an amazing 1,600m above the surrounding valleys.
