Hunter Valley is a famous region for Australia’s wine industry. The two main towns are called Pokolbin & Cessnock. The region has around 120 wineries. It has been developed in recent years and offers visitors a chance to explore vineyards and partake in wine tasting tours and, if you’re feeling romantic, you could take a horse and carriage ride and enjoy a picnic.
There are historic towns with loads of charm and lots of accommodation and restaurants. It is located about 2 hours north of Sydney.
I had 3 weeks hoilday, and wanted to see my brother and family in Australia. My brother lives in Bondi, so thought it best to stay in this area.
I stayed at the Swiss Grand Bondi hotel on Bondi Beach which was fabulous. Lovely spacious rooms with small separate room off bedroom and great rooftop swimming pool and spa. Bondi beach has great beach/walks/restaurants/bars/shops and is only 20mins from city centre, so we had best of both words. Were able to go to city centre to do harbour cruise, city tour and wander around the city & harbour area taking it all in.
After Sydney we flew to Hamilton Island and spent a few days at the Reef View Hotel. Hamilton is great with loads to do, nice restaurants, good sailing trips. Highlight was sailing trip to Whitehaven beach, stunning.
