Cosy up in a cabin rental in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country.
Renowned across Australia and abroad for its wine production, the Hunter Valley (aka the Hunter Region) is a popular getaway spot for travellers wanting to do a bit of wine-tasting and makes for a popular weekend getaway from Sydney. The region's cultural and commercial hub is in Newcastle, about a two-hour drive north of Sydney, and while there are plenty of great lodging options right in town, those looking to really experience the terroir of the region may want to head inland to spend a few nights in a countryside cabin. Cabin rentals run the gamut from simple rustic spots to upscale lodges with fully equipped kitchens and multiple bedrooms, ideal for groups or families. Many also have outdoor fire pits, ideal for those who want to experience the joy of an evening outdoors but may not be equipped for camping.
