A weekend Hunter Valley for two, wrapped up for you! Hot air balloon ride, accommodation and breakfast sorted for you both, both days. Stay at this lovely B&B and rise on one of those days for the ride of a lifetime. Watch from the air as the earth is coloured golden... it's a weekend on cloud nine!
Be welcomed by your friendly hostess to a wonderful Hunter Valley B&B. With all the mod-cons and privacy and none of the hassle, you'll have unwound as soon as you walk through the door!
After a relaxing evening, you'll arise bright and early for your hot-air balloon flight. It is just an eight-minute drive down the road to Cessnock Airport where you will be met by your balloon crew. After a cup of coffee and a safety briefing you will be transported to the launch site.
What a magnificent sight: to stand in the cool air of dawn and watch a many-storey-high balloon being inflated in front of you! Stand back, watch and take photos... or just stand in awe! Then climb on in.
Hot-air ballooning is a magical experience. See the amazing colours of vineyards which produce some of Australia's best-known wines. Look out over the horizon, fly through the clouds as the sunlight fills the region... honestly, what could be better?
After your flight you will return to the B&B where a continental breakfast will be awaiting you! The rest of that day will be whatever you want it to be... sample local wines and cheeses, maybe go to dinner at an amazing winery or at a friendly local pub. All you have to do is come along for the ride!
