Info
Cessnock and Pokolbin form the core of Australia's Hunter Valley wine region in New South Wales, with Pokolbin being the picturesque wine tourism hub and Cessnock offering more practical urban services. The Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens sits prominently in Pokolbin, directly connected to the sprawling Hunter Valley Gardens, placing guests amid vineyards and attractions. This area lies about 160km north of Sydney, making it accessible for weekend escapes or longer stays. Reaching the resort is easiest by car via the M1 motorway from Sydney (roughly 2.5 hours), though limited public transport exists via trains to Maitland/Newcastle followed by local buses or taxis. Many visitors opt for organized wine tours with transport included. The resort provides ample parking for those driving. The Mercure Resort features spacious rooms, a lagoon-style pool, and gardens blending into the adjacent Hunter Valley Gardens. For more budget-conscious travelers, alternatives like Ibis Styles Hunter Valley (5km away) or Hunter Valley YHA offer simpler accommodations. Cessnock has additional economical options including motels and Airbnb rentals, though these require short drives to reach Pokolbin's wineries. Dining options range from the resort's own Bistro Molines to nearby gems like Muse Kitchen (seasonal fine dining) and casual spots like Café Enzo. Wine enthusiasts can explore iconic cellar doors like Tyrrell's Wines (5-minute drive) or Audrey Wilkinson Winery (panoramic views). The Hunter Valley Smelly Cheese Shop and Pokolbin Village shops offer gourmet souvenirs. Beyond wine, activities include exploring the Hunter Valley Gardens' themed sections, wildlife encounters at Hunter Valley Zoo, or hot air ballooning at dawn. Golfers have two championship courses nearby (Cypress Lakes and The Vintage), while history buffs can visit Wollombi's colonial sites. Cessnock provides practical services including supermarkets, pharmacies, and Cessnock District Hospital for emergencies. Guest feedback highlights the resort's prime location and lush surroundings, though some note rooms could use updates. Many appreciate the walkable access to Hunter Valley Gardens' events. The region shines brightest during weekdays or off-peak seasons when crowds thin, allowing for more intimate vineyard experiences. Pack comfortable shoes for vineyard walks and check local calendars for festivals like the Hunter Valley Wine & Food Festival in June.
