Travel Hunter Valley, KAK

A tree-linedd driveway begging to be photographotographed, one of the Hunter’s most renowned cellar doors and a quaint timber chapel set against an emerald-green forest are just some of this stay’s biggest stars. A boutique hotel that often attracts weddings, the Convent transports visitors to another place in time. Once the home to an order of nuns, the beautifully preserved double-storey manor is the jewel in the property’s crown – but it’s not all old school. A less-then-a-minute ride on their golf buggy to the Pepper Tree cellar door (don’t miss the 2015 cabernet sauvignon, a quality steal) and a luxurious swimming pool and cabana keep The Convent well into the now.
