Murrurundi Area, New South Wales

When the hustle and regimentation of those more conventional destinations have made you wonder why you chose them for a holiday, then take a look at the Upper Hunter. Take the New England Highway to the village of Murrurundi, to a more relaxed destination where accommodation ranges from motels and Hotels to Bed and Breakfasts and farm-stays.

Come back to the bush and let your kids experience some rural events we offer. Murrurundi offers such a variety from Billy-Cart competitions to art shows to rodeos and sheepdog trials. You may wish to just enjoy meals in our cafes by the Pages River or a game of golf (but be prepared to share the course with a wallaby or two).

See Murrurundi as a base to explore day trips to Nundle, the vineyards or drive the famous farming country of the Liverpool Plains. Climb the rock formation known as the 'Eye of the Needle' then have a good old fashioned picnic. A day shopping in the country music capital Tamworth will ease the withdrawal symptoms you may be experiencing or turn the mobile phone off just do nothing. What ever you choose we know you will leave revived and ready to face life once again and keen to return ....you'll be back!
