Cessnock is now the gateway to the Hunter Valley wineries, and Coal d Vine Cottage is only a five minute drive from Pokolbin and Lovedale Wineries. It has the charm of a country town with all the facilities you need to enjoy your holiday.

Both Pokolbin and Lovedale wineries are a popular wedding destination, and Coal d Vine Cottage is some of the closest accommodation you will find that can suit large groups of guests.

Cessnock is located in the Hunter Valley region which brings with it lots of opportunities to explore the area. There are a lot of specialty stores and producers including wineries, beer brewers, cheese makers, chocolatiers, sweet makers, olive producers, galleries and tea houses as well as public gardens, picnic areas and tours.

While staying here are a couple of things we really recommend visiting.

The Hunter Valley Gardens span 25 acres and ten feature gardens. Enjoy exploring the fragrant rose garden, take a rest above the 10 metre high waterfall in the Sunken Garden, check out the views at the lookout, and let the kids (young and old) enjoy the fairy tale characters in the Storybook Garden. With 8 kilometres of walking paths, there is plenty to see and explore.

The Hunter Valley Zoo is a great day out for all of the family, and is just 6 kilometres from Coal d Vine Cottage. With lots of animals to find, interactive walk through area and the option to feed kangaroos, touch a reptile, cuddle a koala and pat a wombat, everyone will love the zoo. Take along a BBQ or picnic, and enjoy a full day out at the Hunter Valley Zoo.

If you are looking forward to a round of golf while on holidays, there are a number of great courses in the area including Stonebridge, Cypress Lakes Golf and Country Club, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley and The Vintage.

For those a little more adventurous, or looking for a romantic date while on holidays, we recommend booking a hot air balloon flight over the Hunter Valley. There are a number of companies that take flights over the vineyards early in the morning, and it is a great way to check out the area from another view.

Pokolbin is the home over 10 concerts each year including Day on the Green featuring popular artists you’ll know from growing up. Concerts are held mainly at Hope Estate and Bimbadgen. At less than a 10 minute drive from your accommodation this is a great way to enjoy a day with your partner, family or friends – order a picnic hamper and wine, and sing and dance to your favourite tunes. There is a local shuttle bus that can pick you up and drop you off at designated points meaning you don’t need to worry about driving.

Throughout the year, the Cessnock Performing Arts Centre hosts some great shows and performances. Once you have booked with us here at Coal d Vine Cottage, make sure you check out what performances are on during your holidays.

Cessnock has the benefit of being close to a number of Hunter Valley towns, and there are a few we really recommend checking out.

It is only expected that when in the Hunter Valley you will have plenty of options to get out and discover the produce and wines grown and made in the area.

THERE IS A COUPLE OF TOWNS WE REALLY RECOMMEND VISITING, BOTH FOR THEIR WINES AND THEIR HISTORIC SITES:

Broke – wineries known for their Semillon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Verdelho, Sangivese, Barbera and Dolcetto.

Lovedale - Lovedale Long Lunch - May each year

Maitland – fruit wines made from local produce, Steam Fest and Groovin the Moo

Morpeth – Visit the historic shop fronts, wharves and hitching posts as well as Morpeth Wine Sellers and Moonshine Distillery

Paterson – historic town of the Barrington Tops. Visit Tocal Homestead, Barrington Tops National Park or a self-guided walk of the mid 19th century sites

Pokolbin – home to some of our most well-known wine labels and gourmet food

Singleton – Royal Australia Infantry Corps Museum, Yengo, Mt Royal and Wollemi National Parks, self-guided walk through the historic precinct

Wollombi – national parks with walking trails, lookouts and Aboriginal rock carvings including Devils Rock, Flat Rock Lookout and Finchley Trig

CESSNOCK IS A GREAT BASE FOR YOUR HUNTER VALLEY HOLIDAY.  CLOSE TO WINERIES and WITH GOURMET FOODS, HISTORIC SITES and WALKING TRAILS GALORE, YOU WILL ENJOY BEING CLOSE TO EVERYTHING AT COAL D VINE COTTAGE.
