If you’re after an escape from the hustle and bustle then the Vintry is the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. Just two hours north of Sydney, the Vintry is nestled in the heart of the Hunter Valley, surrounded by extensive vineyards and beautiful bushland. The country house was the winner in the Deluxe Accommodation category at the 2009 NSW Tourism Awards.
The Vintry is the perfect place to meet with others in a relaxed environment. The house is ideally designed for four couples, and each bedroom has its own en suite. It’s the perfect recipe for a relaxing and secluded weekend away with friends.
