Things to do

Many of our guests are happy to relax in our wonderful rural environment and enjoy a healthy wholesome country holiday. But when you want excercise, entertainment or action, there is no shortage of choices. On the Station you can swim in the pool, or the river, play tennis, hire a canoe on the Hunter River or simply explore the historic village.

Nearby on Lake Glenbawn, you can waterski or take joy rides in a jet-boat. Within a short drive there are vineyards, golf courses, the Barrington Tops National Park, rural tours and stud tours. Special events in the area include horse racing, uniquely Australian rodeos, a Jazz Festival, the Scone or Ellerston Polo tournaments and many others listed on our Calendar of Events.

Barrington Tops National Park is 45 minutes away.

We can help plan your visit to fit in with any of these Events and Attractions...and much more.
