Cessnock Haven - Hunter Wine Country Retreat

Pop the cork on a Hunter Valley escape at Cessnock Haven, a contemporary country retreat right at the gateway to wine country. This beautifully appointed three-bedroom home sleeps up to six, making it a winner for wine weekends, family getaways and catch-ups with friends.

The light-filled open-plan living area flows effortlessly into a well-equipped kitchen, so it's easy to gather, cook up a feast with local produce and unwind after a big day of tastings. The main bedroom is a private retreat with an ensuite, walk-in robe and study desk, and thoughtful extras like Wi-Fi and a Smart TV mean all the comforts of home are at your fingertips.

Outside, the generous backyard is made for lazy afternoons in the sunshine and peaceful country evenings. You're only minutes from Cessnock's cafés and boutique shopping, and a short drive from the cellar doors, restaurants and celebrated food and wine experiences of Pokolbin and the wider Hunter Valley. Hot air balloon flights, vineyard picnics and scenic drives are all on the menu, so whether you're after adventure or pure relaxation, this is your perfect Hunter base.
