Hunter Valley: $399 for a Two Night Stay for Up to Four People at The Long House ($1020 Value)

Cellar doors are usually surrounded by wine, characters and occasional swaggering cowboys, much like a saloon door. Go wild in wine country with today’s Groupon: $399 for two nights in a luxurious two-bedroom unit for four people with a bottle of local sparkling wine at The Longhouse, Pokolbin ($1020 value).



Styled on a traditional Australian woolshed, The Longhouse elegantly marries rustic charm with luxurious finishes. Bond with buddies over two indulgent nights in the heart of the Hunter Valley, where wine flows free, fine food tantalises, and kangaroos bound joyfully through the bush. Spend long, carefree days hopping between cellar doors, chatting to the locals and perfecting sniff’n’swill technique. Retire to the plush digs and pull up a chair on the sun-drenched deck to watch the sun go down over the vineyards, while enjoying a bottle of The Petersons sparkling wine and perhaps some gourmet nibbles from the Smelly Cheese Shop. Foodies are spoilt for choice with award-winning restaurants to dine at each night, before sinking into a deliciously comfy bed to dream of giant talking grapes.



Nestled among picturesque chardonnay grapes, The Longhouse is situated in Pokolbin, with dozens of wineries within a few minutes’ drive. Take a break from wining and dining with a relaxing stroll among the greenery and vibrant blooms of the Hunter Valley Gardens; indulge in a sublime pampering session at one of the fabulous local day spas; or get a fresh perspective with a romantic hot air balloon ride. Pokolbin is an easy two hour drive from Sydney, or 50 minutes from Newcastle airport.
