Discover an autumn special deal in the Hunter Valley

Visiting the Hunter Valley can be eye-wateringly expensive, particularly at weekends.

Which can be frustrating if the main purpose of your visit is to stock up on some wines.

The Lane Retreat, Bimbadgen, has just released an autumn package that is affordable and offers some little extra touches.

The Lane Retreat is set among 15 hectares of secluded vineyard and natural bushlands in the heart of Hunter and is promoted as "a wine country getaway for couples and friends looking to embrace he seasonal beauty of the Hunter and its golden vineyard hues in autumn".

The Autumn Escape package is priced from $287 per night when staying a minimum of two-nights in a premium studio retreat (above).

The package includes breakfast provisions for two people, a wood-fired pizza at Bimbadgen Pizzeria for two, a bottle of Bimbadgen shiraz on arrival, Coco Nib pack of four bon bon chocolates and late check-out to midday.

The deal is valid for stay until May 31 and is subject to availability. Some blackout dates may apply.

The accommodation was developed by property and hospitality group Mulpha Australia in the grounds of Bimbadgen’s 50-year-old vineyards.

Guests also have access to tastings at the Mulpha-owned Emma’s Cottage Vineyard boutique winery nearby.

The Lane Retreat offers 60 chic studio retreats with outdoor decks offering views of the Brokenback Range or Bimbadgen vineyards.

Each studio retreat has king beds, bathroom with double rain head showers and Hunter bathroom amenities, a kitchenette with coffee maker, toaster, microwave and mini bar, and breakfast provisions.

There is a new luxury swimming pool and amenities, along with a store and pantry offering espresso coffee, gourmet cheeses and grazing food options, wines, spirits, and other gourmet goodies.

* Dogs are now welcome to stay in premium studio retreats with their owners at The Lane Retreat.

For an additional $50 per night, guests can now bring their furry friend away with them, with the use of a water bowl during your stay and pet waste bags included in the rate.
