The setting
Mistletoe Lane is one of Pokolbin’s quiet gravel backroads, and the retreat makes the most of it — country-style cottages, wide verandahs with red market umbrellas, and sunsets over the Brokenback Range doing the evening entertainment. It is the slow-lane version of the Hunter, five minutes from the busy bit.
Around the vines
You are in the heart of Pokolbin here: sparkling at Peterson House, tastings at Pepper Tree and Ivanhoe, and dozens more cellar doors, restaurants and the Hunter Valley Gardens all within about ten minutes’ drive.
