Local Tip

When you stay Rydges, you stay local, and there’s nothing quite like a truly local experience.

The quintessential Hunter Valley experience has to include a breathtaking hot-air-balloon flight over Australia’s oldest wine region. There is no better way to take in everything this stunning location has to offer. It’s an early start, but so worth the effort, as you rise up with the sun and meander over the beautiful Hunter landscape. Our resort has partnered with Beyond Ballooning for more than a decade and are proud of this partnership with a locally owned and operated business. You are in safe hands with Steve and Nathan and I know you’ll love every minute!

Be sure to tag us on social media @rydgeshotels to share your local experiences with us.

Whether right here at the resort, or waiting beyond our bounds, Hunter Valley has so much to do, see and savour. Whilst the options are endless, there’s something special to suit each and every stay – so you’ll never have the same experience as anyone else.

Steal some time poolside between meetings, take a swing at a game of golf or sink into bliss at the spa. Let your senses guide the way, and taste your way through a brewery tour or treat your eyes to our gallery’s local art. Play alongside the little ones at our waterpark and range of kids activities – and make your family holiday one for the memory books. Some of our favourite places and activities include:
