The property serves a diversified mix of leisure couples, families, corporate groups, and wedding clients, supported by an ecosystem of partnerships with local wineries (Iron Gate, Margan, Leogate, Bonvilla, Ivanhoe, Gundog, Dal Zotto, Bimbadgen), Hunter Valley Gardens, and regional transport and AV providers. Sustainability investments include an on-site solar farm, kitchen garden, and EV charging stations, with sustainability branded into a corporate day-delegate package.
