Lap of Luxury
Located in one of Australia's most popular wine-producing regions, Tower Lodge is the winner of several awards, including the 2007 Hunter Regional Tourism Award for Luxury Accommodation and it's easy to see why! It has 10 guestrooms surrounding a central courtyard, all lavishly decorated with beautiful antiques and collectibles. Each comes with a king-size bed, a dressing room and a large bathroom with a separate shower and a deep double spa bath.
The Chairman's Suite, on the other hand, is in a separate building with its own tower - and it's the ultimate in luxury. The bathroom also has a deep spa bath to soak in, but the room itself is dominated by the opulent 300-year-old, king-size bed, hand-carved in Rajasthan. The suite also includes a separate sitting room with a Louis XVI writing desk and leather wing chairs - ideal for curling up with a book.
While the Hunter Valley has plenty to offer visitors, Tower Lodge guests don't have to go far to sample local wines and produce. The Estate is home to Robert's Restaurant, which serves seasonal dishes as well as local cuisine. If you want to celebrate a special occasion, however, simply book one of the three rooms available for an unforgettable private dining experience.
The Tower Estate Winery is also open daily with the guest lounge and bar serving regional wines and imported Champagne. Visitors can work on their swing on the Estate's 18-hole golf course called The 'DINKS', while those looking for a more relaxing experience can indulge with a soothing hot-stone massage or 'billabong' footbath at the day spa - just remember to book ahead!
Tower Lodge is only two hours' drive north of Sydney, so if you're looking to take in the delicious food and wine, and the sights of the Hunter, why not do it while relaxing in the lap of luxury?
