We have just got back from a really lovely getaway in the Hunter Valley, which we were given as a wedding gift. We had such a relaxing time doing pretty much nothing. The first day we went for a little drive and then hung out in the hotel bar and had a fantastic dinner at the hotel restaurant - Sanctuary.
We spent the following morning wine tasting and then went back to the hotel for lunch in the garden followed by massages at the spa. And then dinner at our favourite restaurant - Shakey tables. We always have dinner there when we visit the Hunter, and we've always been super impressed.
Me amongst the vines at Wyndham estate where we bought my favourite sparkling shiraz and Brett's favourite port. You can't get them anywhere in Sydney so we had to stock up!
We took the tourist route back to Sydney and went via the historic town Wollombi, which was nice but disappointingly small. But we found a really cool pub in St Albans, a tiny small town halfway between Wollombi and Wisemans ferry, where we had an AWESOME lunch. I had yummy smoked trout and Brett had rabbit pie. yum yum.
Then we kept driving towards Wisemans ferry whilst hunting for our dream cottage. We really want to buy a little cottage close (but not too close) to Sydney. It needs to be old and charming, hidden, lush, have a wine cellar and olive trees and vines in the garden. And a basement where Brett can brew his beer.
Well, thats our getaway. I'm so relaxed now and recharged and ready for a busy period over the next few weeks.
