The Estate — Stay in a luxury self-contained villa on a premium wine estate in the heart of the Hunter Valley
There’s no better way to immerse yourself in the gourmet delights of the Hunter Valley than by staying at one of the region’s premium wine estates. Soak up vineyard views, dine at the onsite restaurant and enjoy wine tastings at the cellar door before a leisurely stroll back to your self-contained villa — no designated driver required.
