Staying at Coal d’ Vine Cottage in Cessnock puts you right in the heart of the Hunter Valley.

And while the Hunter Valley is famous for its wine, there’s a lot more to discover.

From cellar doors and long lunches to wildlife parks, gardens, markets, bush walks, historic villages and spectacular countryside, Cessnock makes a great base for exploring the region.

We’ve put together 30 things to do around Cessnock and the Hunter Valley, including plenty of free and affordable activities alongside some great paid experiences.

Free & Affordable Things to Do

1. Explore Cessnock

Start close to home and discover Cessnock’s cafés, shops, parks, local history and relaxed country-town atmosphere.

Cessnock is the largest town in the Hunter Valley and a convenient base for exploring the surrounding vineyards and attractions.

2. Take a Scenic Drive Through Wine Country

You don’t have to spend money to enjoy the Hunter Valley.

Jump in the car and cruise through the vineyards around Pokolbin, Lovedale, Mount View and Broke. You’ll find rolling hills, rows of vines, old farmhouses and plenty of places to stop for a photo.

Sometimes the drive itself is the attraction.

3. Visit a Hunter Valley Lookout

Head towards the Mount View area and take in the views across the vineyards and valley.

Bimbadeen Lookout is a particularly good option for sweeping Hunter Valley scenery.

4. Enjoy a Picnic in Wine Country

Pack some local cheese, bread, fruit and other goodies and find a scenic spot among the vineyards.

Some Hunter Valley wineries allow visitors to picnic on their grounds, giving you the chance to enjoy the scenery without paying for a major attraction.

5. Discover Local Art & Culture

Cessnock isn’t just about wine.

Visit the Marthaville Arts and Cultural Centre or check what’s happening at local galleries and performance venues. Cessnock hosts exhibitions, music, theatre, dance and other cultural events throughout the year.

Art lovers can combine wine country with outdoor art.

The Winmark Sculpture Park in Broke is a particularly unusual experience, with large-scale sculptures displayed among the vines and surrounding countryside. Entry to the sculpture park is free.

You don’t have to book an expensive wine tour to experience Hunter Valley wine.

Many cellar doors offer tastings at reasonable prices, and some offer complimentary tastings under certain conditions. McGuigan Wines and Tamburlaine Organic Wines have been highlighted by Visit NSW for free tasting options.

8. Visit Binnorie Dairy

Love cheese?

Call into Binnorie Dairy in Lovedale to see how cheese is made and browse the cheese shop. Visit NSW notes that visitors can watch the cheesemaking process and enjoy free tastings

The Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s best-known wine regions, with Semillon and Shiraz among its specialities.

Some of the closest cellar doors to Cessnock include wineries around Nulkaba, Mount View, Pokolbin and Lovedale.

A few worth putting on your Hunter Valley list include:

10. Enjoy a Long Lunch Among the Vines 

One of the great pleasures of the Hunter Valley is slowing down over lunch.

Choose a vineyard restaurant, grab a table overlooking the vines and make lunch part of the experience rather than something you squeeze between attractions.

The Hunter Valley has become as much a food destination as a wine destination.

11. Explore Hunter Valley Breweries

Not a wine drinker?

No problem.

The Hunter has breweries, distilleries, pubs and plenty of alternative food and drink experiences. Visit NSW specifically recommends exploring the region beyond wine tasting.

12. Take a Wine Tour

Hunter Valley wine tours can include cellar-door tastings, lunch and transport between venues. There are tours ranging from small-group experiences to larger buses.

Lovedale is home to wineries, gourmet food producers, cellar doors and beautiful rural scenery.

It’s an easy area to include in a Hunter Valley day out from Cessnock.

Day Trips From Cessnock

26. Broke & the Upper Hunter Valley

You’ll find vineyards, boutique cellar doors, countryside views, restaurants and the Winmark Sculpture Park.

It’s a great alternative when you’ve already explored Pokolbin.

27. Wollombi Historic Village

Take a drive south towards historic Wollombi.

Snowy Mountain Scheme – Talbingo is at the centre of the mighty Snowy Mountains Scheme – one of the great engineering feats in the world, and the Tumut 3 Power Station which is the largest power station in the Snowy Mountains Scheme and the largest hydro-electric power station in Australia.

History- The town is the birthplace of award winning author Miles Franklin. Ken Warby currently holds the water speed record for motorboat racing on Blowering Dam. If you’re in the mood for sightseeing, Talbingo is an easy drive from many of our popular tourist attractions.

Selwyn Snowfields – The Selwyn Snowfields are just under an hour’s drive through national park. This is the premier learn to ski and family snow recreation area in NSW. Located in the beautiful Kosciusko National Park, you will love learning how to ski, snowboard, snow tube or toboggan. Snow gear can be hired at Talbingo goPLAYoutside. Tips for a snow holiday in Talbingo NSW.

Yarrangobilly Caves – On your way, make sure you visit Yarrangobilly Caves, one of the most wonderful limestone cave systems in Australia. You can either take a self-guided tour through the South Glory Cave. Or join a guided tour of the Jersey Cave or Jillabenan Cave. There are a number of other bush walks at Yarrangobilly Caves. They include the Thermal Pool Walk where you’ll find a natural spring permanently heated to 27 degrees. This is an amazing experience in winter where you can laze back in the warm water. While snow is blanketing the ground around you. The whole Yarrangobilly area is a haven for photographers and artists. So make sure you check out the River Walk and the Bluff Lookout as well as the caves.

Buddong Falls – Another favourite is the Buddong Falls. Just a 50 km drive away, crossing the Blowering Reserve and through the Buddong State Forest. Alternatively, you can follow the Blowering Reserve into Tumut and then back down in the Buddong State Forest. Here you’ll find an easy 400 metre return walk from the picnic area to the top falls. There is a steeper 1.6 km return walk to the bottom falls.

Talbingo Accommodation to Enjoy Nature 

Great place to get back to nature and enjoy Australia’s largest National Park: Kosciusko National Park. So much to explore and do.

Bush Walks – For longer walks, there is the Hume and Hovell Walking Track which you can trek parts of the track. This drive is suitable for 4WD only. The entry into Landers Creek Falls is a short 15-minute drive from us here at Pether Cottage. This is a fairly decent walk so we definitely recommend setting aside a few hours for this one. The falls are a 10 km return walk from the 2WD car park. Or a 1.6 km return walk from the 4WD car park (closed in winter) along the Cumberland trail. This is a great place for photos. At the end of the trail you’ll have views that stretch across the escarpment and plunging into the valley below. As well as the clear blue Talbingo Reservoir. At the Talbingo Lookout, you’ll get a great view of Landers Creek Falls emerging from the cliff. There are some other fantastic walks and places to visit in the area. Some of our favourites (apart from those we’ve mentioned) include Coolamine Homestead accessed off Long Plain Road along the Blue Waterholes Fire Trail; Blue Waterholes Campground; Clarke Gorge Walking Track; Nichols Gorge Walking Track; and the Kiandra Heritage Track.

Talbingo Accommodation: Fishing and Water Sports – If you feel like taking a break from all the walking and hiking in the area, fishing, water sports and swimming are popular with many tourists and locals. You can fish all year round for rainbow trout, brown trout and redfin in Lakes Talbingo, Blowering and Tantangara. While Murray Cod is often caught in Blowering Dam. Fishing supplies can be hired from goPlayoutside, or purchased at the service station and supermarket. With so many waterways available for use, you can water ski, sail, canoe, kayak and swim on Talbingo and Blowering Lakes during the warmer weather. There are also many local creeks and swimming holes around including Jounama Creek.

Hiring Equipment and Weather – We highly recommend goPlayoutside for your snow and leisure equipment hire including cycling, hiking, water sports and snow sports gear. You’ll be out exploring the local area quicker and be hitting the slopes sooner. You’ll also find a four-day weather forecast, snow report and road conditions posted on the shop window each day. Surrounded by some of the most sensational scenery. Therefore there is so much to see and do in the Snowy Mountains Area. You can experience it all from Pether Cottage: Talbingo short stay holiday accommodation.

There is fishing and water sports, swimming, golf, tennis and bush walking tracks as well as 4WD tracks through Kosciusko National Park and Bargo State Forest (there are maps provided at the property). If you feel like kicking back and relaxing with a round of golf, the Talbingo Country Club has a 9-hole course.

Snowy Mountain Scheme – Talbingo is at the centre of the mighty Snowy Mountains Scheme – one of the great engineering feats in the world, and the Tumut 3 Power Station which is the largest power station in the Snowy Mountains Scheme and the largest hydro-electric power station in Australia.

History- The town is the birthplace of award winning author Miles Franklin. Ken Warby currently holds the water speed record for motorboat racing on Blowering Dam. If you’re in the mood for sightseeing, Talbingo is an easy drive from many of our popular tourist attractions.

Selwyn Snowfields – The Selwyn Snowfields are just under an hour’s drive through national park. This is the premier learn to ski and family snow recreation area in NSW. Located in the beautiful Kosciusko National Park, you will love learning how to ski, snowboard, snow tube or toboggan. Snow gear can be hired at Talbingo goPLAYoutside. Tips for a snow holiday in Talbingo NSW.

Yarrangobilly Caves – On your way, make sure you visit Yarrangobilly Caves, one of the most wonderful limestone cave systems in Australia. You can either take a self-guided tour through the South Glory Cave. Or join a guided tour of the Jersey Cave or Jillabenan Cave. There are a number of other bush walks at Yarrangobilly Caves. They include the Thermal Pool Walk where you’ll find a natural spring permanently heated to 27 degrees. This is an amazing experience in winter where you can laze back in the warm water. While snow is blanketing the ground around you. The whole Yarrangobilly area is a haven for photographers and artists. So make sure you check out the River Walk and the Bluff Lookout as well as the caves.

Buddong Falls – Another favourite is the Buddong Falls. Just a 50 km drive away, crossing the Blowering Reserve and through the Buddong State Forest. Alternatively, you can follow the Blowering Reserve into Tumut and then back down in the Buddong State Forest. Here you’ll find an easy 400 metre return walk from the picnic area to the top falls. There is a steeper 1.6 km return walk to the bottom falls.

Talbingo Accommodation to Enjoy Nature 

Great place to get back to nature and enjoy Australia’s largest National Park: Kosciusko National Park. So much to explore and do.

Bush Walks – For longer walks, there is the Hume and Hovell Walking Track which you can trek parts of the track. This drive is suitable for 4WD only. The entry into Landers Creek Falls is a short 15-minute drive from us here at Pether Cottage. This is a fairly decent walk so we definitely recommend setting aside a few hours for this one. The falls are a 10 km return walk from the 2WD car park. Or a 1.6 km return walk from the 4WD car park (closed in winter) along the Cumberland trail. This is a great place for photos. At the end of the trail you’ll have views that stretch across the escarpment and plunging into the valley below. As well as the clear blue Talbingo Reservoir. At the Talbingo Lookout, you’ll get a great view of Landers Creek Falls emerging from the cliff. There are some other fantastic walks and places to visit in the area. Some of our favourites (apart from those we’ve mentioned) include Coolamine Homestead accessed off Long Plain Road along the Blue Waterholes Fire Trail; Blue Waterholes Campground; Clarke Gorge Walking Track; Nichols Gorge Walking Track; and the Kiandra Heritage Track.

Talbingo Accommodation: Fishing and Water Sports – If you feel like taking a break from all the walking and hiking in the area, fishing, water sports and swimming are popular with many tourists and locals. You can fish all year round for rainbow trout, brown trout and redfin in Lakes Talbingo, Blowering and Tantangara. While Murray Cod is often caught in Blowering Dam. Fishing supplies can be hired from goPlayoutside, or purchased at the service station and supermarket. With so many waterways available for use, you can water ski, sail, canoe, kayak and swim on Talbingo and Blowering Lakes during the warmer weather. There are also many local creeks and swimming holes around including Jounama Creek.

Hiring Equipment and Weather – We highly recommend goPlayoutside for your snow and leisure equipment hire including cycling, hiking, water sports and snow sports gear. You’ll be out exploring the local area quicker and be hitting the slopes sooner. You’ll also find a four-day weather forecast, snow report and road conditions posted on the shop window each day. Surrounded by some of the most sensational scenery. Therefore there is so much to see and do in the Snowy Mountains Area. You can experience it all from Pether Cottage: Talbingo short stay holiday accommodation.
