Escape to a place where the mountain grandeur is so unspoilt it looks like a postcard, where the rainforests cocoon you with tranquility - a place where the streams and waterfalls run so clear that the word crystal seems inadequate. World Heritage listed Barrington Tops in the Hunter region of NSW is one such place. Covering more than 95,000 hectares of unspoilt wilderness, this is a must-see destination

Barrington Tops is home to a diverse range of plants and wildlife with a diversity of ecosystems, streams, waterfalls, forests, cascading rivers and undulating, basalt-capped plateaus.  

Carved out of an ancient volcano, Barrington Tops National Park rises from near sea level to over 1500m. In the lower valleys, you'll find World Heritage-listed subtropical rainforests. Snow usually falls on the mountain peaks every winter and occasionally snows enough to close roads. Most of the area is declared wilderness, and it's a well-known destination for bushwalkers. But the park is accessible even to those with limited mobility. Its excellent track network extends from short, easy walks to steep overnight treks. The park's varied environments are home to a wide range of plants and animals, and it protects more than 50 rare, threatened or endangered species.

Take the time to explore the forests (there's four distinct regions within), go wildlife spotting in the national park or white-water canoeing on the rapids of the prisitine rivers. Then retreat to your boutique accommodation and re-connect with a loved one - or simply enjoy the peace & quiet.There's plenty to do and see - visit local art & craft galleries, go horseriding, four-wheel driving, swimming, go trout fishing, bike-riding, browse the local markets, visit local cellar doors or tast some of the local gourmet produce on offer.
