After many years we returned to the Hunter Valley staying overnight at both Cypress Lakes Resort & Sebel Kirkton Park. The Hunter in mid-winter was an absolute picture and ideal for around a fire with a glass of local red….
Cypress Lakes have new function space within the function centre and the villas are undergoing refurbishment. Importantly the golf course still looked magnificent although I didn’t get the chance to have a hit. We are looking at a two day conference with 150 delegates cabaret style, exhibitors and a conference dinner in September. There were options both in the main function centre and/or the event centre (permanent marque). Thinking of drinks around the pool before dinner. Lots of possibilities and flexibility!
Sebel Kirkton Park still has a wonderful “country manor” feel about it and is an ideal destination for not only smaller groups but for groups of around 70+ you are able to have sole use of the resort. They have a new arrangement with a local vineyard for an offsite dinner which they cater for and provide transport. There is good conference space with great views over the valley, indoor heated pool and parlour off reception with a large open fire. Plans are afoot to extend the bar which will include a fabulous outdoor area for the summer months. The gardens are being redone and will add to the ambience of this venue. The food was simply great!
