Cessnock Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Wine Country

We stayed with Simon and Jen in Cessnock? Simon is an old friend of Kylie's, and he and John have been to the Bathurst 1000 quite a few times. Their house is only a short distance to the vineyards, so we had a great time visiting the restaurants and gardens (we actually didn't taste any wines). We used to visit this area regularly when we lived in …

Hunter Valley

Af Dorthe

Vækkeuret ringede kl. 7.00. Vi måtte slå den fra et
par gange, da vi alle var trætte. Hvorfor ved jeg ikke, men måske vi bliver
trætte af at holde ferie eller måske har vi efterhånden vænnet os til meget
søvn på turen.

Efter morgenmaden vinkede vi farvel til Port Macquarie
kl. 8.15, hvor vi kørte af sted …

Hunter Valley

Am Morgen besuchen wir den Strand und den Leuchtturm von Crowdy Point. Gemäss Lonely Planet sind die beiden einen Besuch wert, weshalb wir gestern hier gestoppt haben. Für einmal können wir aber die Begeisterung nicht nachvollziehen und bereuen es ein wenig, dass wir gestern nicht weiter gefahren sind. Jänu.

Nach einer kurzen Strecke auf …

Then there was 3. Fair Crack! Will you hurry up...

First holiday in years and you get to that hurdle 2 weeks out. Your feet drag and your head wanders. You get past it. the last week is real anticipation and you get down to the real detail. Cash?...check. Plenty of underwear?...check. Travel details locked in?...check.

Getting tipsy for free

We sadly left Whale Beach, in the rain again!. The day before was the best weather day we have had so far. Lot's of swimming. While we were living it up at Whale Beach, I spent very special times with family friends, I have know all my life, and it was great to see our kids get to hang out. We saw Alice in Wonderland, cooked togther, ate, swam and …

Big storms ....

Today was a very full day for the conference. I was not speaking until the afternoon so I was able to sit in and listen to the others and also spend some time looking around the hotel. After a nice lunch I did my presentation, listened to a couple of others, and before we knew it, the end of the day had arrived.

A dinner had been booked …

Sandboarding & Wine Tasting

Our drive down the east coast continued as we visited the very Scottish village of Mackay and the pretty seaside town of Coffs Harbour with its Big Banana that everyone goes nuts about for some reason. The striking Muttonbrook Island famous for whale watching made for a memorable visit. We met an elderly man originally from Germany at one of the …

Lower Hunter Valley

Unable to sleep due to the excitement of free alcohol (I still class myself as a student!) we were on the road at 6am heading to one of the most famous wine regions in the world. After arriving at the visitors centre we found the organised wine tours to be effectively a ludicrously expensive hop-on-hop-off bus service. Before my reputation becomes …
