Neighborhood

Nestled in the stunning Hunter Valley region, Cessnock is the perfect destination to call home as you explore this scenic wine region. As the largest town in Australia's oldest wine region, Cessnock is the perfect place to explore the countryside. Whether you want to experience the best of wine-tasting and food in New South Wales, or explore the gorgeous ranges that are scattered across the region, you'll be spoiled for choice to sate your wanderlust. Just over two hours away from Sydney and less than an hour away from the airport at New Castle, Ellalong is the perfect hideaway without being too secluded.
Enjoy a wine tour (or four) in the heart of the best wine-region in Australia and appease your inner art-lover at the Lovis Arts Gallery. Board the M.V. Lady Mac and cruise the largest coastal saltwater lake in the southern hemisphere - Lake Macquarie. Looking to get your feet off the floor? Enjoy the scenic views from above in a hot air balloon.

If you want to reconnect with nature, what better way to do it then at Hunter Valley Zoo; this wildlife park offers encounters with a variety of animals. Whether it be feeding the lions or meeting Boogle the Binturong (who smells of popcorn!), or just wandering around the park, there's sure to be something for everyone here. Once you've enjoyed the best fauna in all of NSW, make sure to head across to the Hunter Valley Gardens to enjoy the best of flora. With 8 kilometres of flowers and a unique collection of boutique shops, this is a simply unmissable stop.

Make sure to make some time to visit Yengo National Park. This massive national park was included in the World Heritage List for its remarkable geographic, botanic and cultural values. Yengo National Park and the surrounding areas have been an important spiritual and cultural place for the Darkinjung and Wonnarua People for thousands of years, and as such, there's an astonishing wealth of ancient Aboriginal rock art and insight into Aboriginal history and culture. There's a variety of activities on offer here, so whether you want to bush-walk, picnic, ride a horse, mountain bike or go 4WD touring, Yengo National Park is the place to be.
