Peace in amongst all the action.

The Carriages is such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay in the Hunter. So central but it seems like it's so far away from all the activity and very secluded.

The Carriages stay was just what my wife n I needed, a log fire, luxury bed and home comforts. The property offers relaxation and a swimming pool/tennis court. Highly recommend in such a convenient spot to the Hunter Winery region. Thanks for a lovely stay
