Picture a luxuriously appointed estate set amongst rolling vineyards and native bushland just two hour's drive from Sydney. A place where great food and wine provide the perfect recipe for relaxation. Where Spa Anise adds to the feeling of rejuvenation and revitalisation. And where appreciating life comes as naturally as appreciating the latest vintage.
Nestled on the property’s private eight acre vineyard are 12 luxuriously appointed guest rooms and suites, as well as the new four bedroom house. Interiors feature restful king beds, ensuite spa baths, open fireplaces and signature amenities, creating a great space to relax, unwind and delight in the moment.
A range of recreational options and activities give guests the opportunity to explore the Hunter Valley. Make the most of the many experiences including vineyard strolls, complimentary bike hire, life sized chess and checkers, wine tastings, picnics, hot air balloon and helicopter rides. Relax by the swimming pool, visit the guest lounge to enjoy a book, board game or DVD.
Whether it be a boutique winery tour, a gourmet cheese and wine experience, or tranquil day spa to rejuvenate your body, mind and soul, the intimate and private nature of the property provides an unforgettable taste of Hunter Valley hospitality.
