One of my favourite wineries in the Hunter Valley region. I did a wine tour and it was very informative, good to know about the advanced tech they are using. Great wine tastings at the cellar door, they also sell a lot of nice unique souvenirs. Staff are very chatty and friendly. Love their reds.

My favourite winery so far in the region. I love love love their late picked semillon. I am a wine newbie, when I was there I probably asked a lot of silly questions, but the staff were really friendly and gave a lot of information about the wines in the area. Would love to visit the place again.

Quite a nice outdoor dining area with great views. It can get a bit crowded during the holidays. Wine tastings available, they have a great variety of wines however none of them is my favourite. It was an enjoyable experience overall.

It is a cafe located in a nursery with amazing views. I loved the fresh salad and the smoked salmon tart. This place is great for breakfast, light lunch or afternoon tea. Staff are nice and friendly. Customers can take a stroll and have a look around the nursery, plenty of plants and flowers to see and choose from.

I went there for dinner because they had a special offer on livingsocial.com The offer included a peking duck banquet dinner for 2 people. Peking duck pancakes were yum and I really like their fried rice. It is generally quiet during weeknights, service and atmosphere are great. However, without coupons/deals, the prices are quite expensive.
I would like to go back to try their yum cha someday.

I was staying at Rydges Hotel and Zebu restaurant is located at the ground floor of the hotel. I went there for dinner the first night. Really good quality steak and meat. Excellent food, very modern, great service. I find it quite pricey but it is worth it. Great dining experience overall.

This place is a hidden gem! The food is freshly made, great portion size and prices are reasonable. I went there on a Tuesday night with my partner for dinner. The place was quite empty and we didn't have to make a booking. I had a 3 course dinner for about $80 (special deal). I had the spiced pumpkin soup (soup of the day) for entree and it was really fresh and fragrant. I had the fish of the day (Tasmanian salmon) with veggies and potatoes and it was cooked to perfection. I had a lemon/citrus tart for dessert and it was huge enough to be shared by 2 people. Tasty and fresh food. Great attentive service. Great atmosphere with nice boat decor. I will definitely go back there.

I really enjoyed going to Chantilly's. Their mains are average, but they have really nice cakes! I really loved their new york cheesecake. For the main meal, I had pasta with carbonara sauce and veal, it was quite filling and great value for money. The atmosphere was really nice and service was ok. I would definitely go back.

Approximate cost: $15-20

It's a really nice lovely cafe. Great place to hang out. The food is very fresh and tasty. I had linguine (with green olives and clams) and it was delicious! Their dessert and coffee is pretty good too. Service can be a bit slow because they are always so busy but it's worth the wait.
