Scroll down to Price Panel ...
Sensational views from EaglereachSet high on a mountainside to one side of the Hunter Valley region, Eaglereach has 1000 acres of wild countryside with magnificent, far reaching views and provides an opportunity to experience the Australian wilderness in luxurious accommodation.  Guests stay in individual lodges, set in the bush for their exclusive use, with panoramic views from the verandah.   Hotel style rooms are also available.  
Bush walking, a swimming pool, mountain bikes, wildlife watching and tennis are all on offer with barbeque and picnic packs available. When you don't want to dine at Eaglereach's Treehops Restaurant, have a casual meal in the Baringa Room or enjoy snacks on the Observatory Deck. 
Eaglereach is ideally situated to get a taste of wilderness and wine at the same time.  There are views to the Barrington Tops, one of Australia's largest  national parks, or to the Pacific Ocean.   In recent years, Eaglereach was twice named the Best Superior Accommodation in Australia at the Australian Tourism Awards for Excellence. Eaglereach has a two night minimum stay - you will need it, and three nights would be ideal if you can possibly fit it in!
