Make every day part of the getaway.
From Cessnock Golf Course and state forests to the Performing Arts Centre and Hunter Valley Gardens, discover local experiences right on your doorstep.
However you like to spend a day.
Ten places we send guests to, every one inside half an hour. Wine days run through Saddlers Creek and the Pokolbin cellar doors; golf weekends through Hunter Valley Golf Club, The Vintage and Cypress Lakes. With kids it’s the Wildlife Park and Hunter Valley Gardens. Concert nights are at Roche Estate, quiet mornings in the Watagans, and dinner is a five-minute walk into Cessnock town centre. Still deciding which town to base yourself in? We’ve mapped every nearby town and how far it really is.
