Groups
No matter what type of group get ogether you are planning,such as: Corporate Seminars/conferences, Sporting
Groups functions,Special Events Gatherings, Birthday Celebrations, Family Get Togethers,Training Events... they
can become memorable events when held at Abernethy House. Our unique, relaxing, semi-rural location at the gateway
to Hunter Wine Country provides organizers with an extensive range of pleasant options. By booking the whole House
you have the flexibility to create your own entertainment utilizing the extensive indoor and outdoor recreation
areas as you desire. Upon arrival you may wish to catch up with old friends in the Grapevine Courtyard whilst
enjoying complimentary tea, coffee and home made cake and biscuits. Or relax with wine and cheese on the upstairs
three metre wide verandahs that overlook extensive lawns, gardens and stand of protected spotted gums, local bushland
with district views to the Brokenback Ranges that frame one of the world’s premier wine growing regions.
If you wish stroll the grounds and admire the blooms of a variety of roses throughout the established English style gardens
before participating in a challenging game of boulle by the pool or take an invigorating five minute walk along the
historic mine trail to Aberdare South lake to watch the Black Swans and profusion of native ducks and birdlife glide
past any vantage point along the lake’s perimeter. This historic site is one of the best kept secrets in the Hunter.
Return for an organized wine tasting in the guest lounge and try award winning wines from a premium Hunter
boutique producer such as Monahan Estate- a perfect introduction to the wines of one of the world’s best table
wine producing areas. Having worked up an appetite indulge in a gourmet barbeque feast in the courtyard where a
memorable array of house specialities freshly prepared utilizing our own and local ingredients will tempt you and
your friends. Remember to B.Y.O. – there is no corkage charge at Abernethy House.
As your first day draws to a close, make your way to the comfort of guest lounge for coffee and a selection of
fine Hunter Valley chocolates and relax playing cards or chess or participate in organized games that help to break
the ice for newcomers to your group. In winter the crackling fire lends a special ambience to lounge room activities
and a port by the fireside is a very special way to end a special day.

"Hi Vicky and Imants,
Thank you so much for another wonderful weekend.
The food was superb and plentiful. Not one complaint from a group of hungry runners, you have done very well. Also, thank you from Ken for his tasty vego meals. We really appreciate your trouble.
There is talk of doing another weekend and maybe doing something different on the Saturday, just to make a change, but we will be in touch with you when a decision is made.
Thank you again and look forward to seeing you in the future.

50th birthday party
Many thanks for helping make Robyn’s 50th birthday weekend into such a success. Everyone I spoke to said they had a terrific time….the food was great and they loved the accommodation. The wine tour was hugely successful and Friday night at the Kitchener pub was a hoot. Your organisation (both before and during the “event”) meant there wasn’t one hitch. Your staff are lovely people too.
might have noticed the “stayers” on Sunday morning were reluctant to leave…..a few said they’d like to hang around until next weekend….
All the best for the future." John & Robyn 1/11/2007
50th birth day party
Hi
I recently stayed at your guest house (Robyn 50th birthday) and would like to tell you what a wonderful weekend both myself and my husband had. Your guest house is just the perfect place to get away from Sydney and relax.
I do wish to enquire if your wonderful grape spread, that we had at breakfast, was available to purchase. Also, and if it not giving away secret recipes, The recipes for chick pea dip and marinated feta dip.
Thank you Ayshe 5/11/2007
