Overview

The Hunter includes the towns, vineyards and national parks of the Hunter Valley, the Upper Hunter and Barrington Tops. Famous for its great food and wine, enjoy wine tours, cooking schools and wine tastings at some of the oldest and best-known Australian wineries.

Relax at one of the day spas or luxury retreats, play a round of golf at one of the championship golf courses or take a hot air balloon ride over the vineyards.

Nearby Barrington Tops National Park is a World Heritage natural wonder. Enjoy bushwalking, hiking, horse riding or camping amongst beech forests and snow gum woodlands. Hire a houseboat on Lake Macquarie or explore the heritage streets of Maitland.
