It's a 90 minute drive to Sydney City, 120 minutes by train. A short walk to the railway station for trains to Newcastle and Sydney, or use of our car can be arranged to drive to the vineyards of the Hunter Valley or Whale or Dolphin cruising at Port Stephens. Several beaches and golf courses are within an easy drive too. Morisset Country Club (where we are members) with 18 hole parkland golf course is only 5 mins away.
