Have you heard of the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley? It is, in our opinion, one of the BEST family-friendly holiday resorts in NSW! It has its own Venetian carousel, a mini train that does laps of the resort, a large resort-style pool, an onsite water park and they run a heap of school holiday activities too.
Did we mention they have a Kids’ Club? (Yes – we saw you sit up and take notice of that one!). Plus, let’s not forget the spa and award-winning restaurant for the adults!
PLUS, right now they have an absolutely amazing deal going. To plan a break that the whole family can enjoy, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley has put together an incredible Family Getaway Package! It includes:
+ Accommodation for 2 adults and 2 children (up to 12 yrs of age) for two nights
+ Daily buffet breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children
+ Kids eat free from the children’s dinner menu at Redsalt Restaurant or Lovedale Bar + Grill (when accompanied by a paying adult).
+ Tickets for 2 adults and 2 children to visit either Hunter Valley Wildlife Park OR Hunter Valley Gardens – you choose!
While you’re at Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley, you can also enjoy special activities for the school holidays, like mini train rides, cupcake decorating, pizza making, tennis, basketball, kangaroo tours, lawn games, and collecting eggs from the resort’s chicken coup. There’s also a games room that’s open 24 hours!
Want to book?
We’re so super lucky that this incredible family-friendly resort is just a hop, skip down the road from the Central Coast – making it perfect for both week-long holidays and last-minute overnight getaways. Both with or without the kids. If you’re interested in the latter, they also have a brilliant Foodie Getaway package available at the moment (girls’ weekend away, perhaps?). Read about it here!

They’ve got an onsite Water Park!
Did you know that the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley has a kids’ water park? Yep – it opened last year so if you’ve not had the opportunity to pay it a visit yet, this is the perfect time to check it out as the water is temperature controlled so it can be used year round!
Boasting two storeys of aquatic fun, the water park comes complete with water cannons, flumes, jets, an assortment of slides, and a grape bucket that fills with 600 litres of water before emptying over the crowd in one enormous splash!
It’s the one and only water park in the Hunter Valley, so it’s bound to be super popular with kids and adults who put fun first in their vacations. (Scroll down to watch the video).
They have a Kids Club too!
SO back to that Kids Club: because we know that you want to hear more about that! The Water Dragons Kids’ Club is the ultimate mini-resort where kids can join in a heap of supervised arts, crafts, games, and activities while the adults enjoy a little bit of ‘grown-up time’.
The kids club zone has its own playground complete with a climbing frame, slippery dips, rope climbs, and activity boards – all sat on a massive sandpit. There are stacks of toys – think trucks, soccer balls, hula hoops, buckets and spades, loads of arts and crafts, and huge games.
And during the holidays they put on a host of activities for the kids. Visit the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley website to see what’s happening at the Kids’ Club this break!
Adults, did we mention the spa and award-winning restaurant and spa, too?
The Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley is a resort that’s determined to be as much a holiday for the adults as well as the kids. While your kids delight in the fun of the Kids’ Club, you can take some much-deserved time out for yourself, too – a game of tennis, a hit of golf, a bike ride around the vineyards, a quiet (and oh-so-rare) long lunch for two at the Lovedale Bar!
The onsite Ubika spa offers a heap of treatments guaranteed to lull you into holiday mode. The Ultimate Indulgence treatment is one that well lives up to its name – it’s a full day of pampering that includes a full-body exfoliation, body wrap, head massage, Vichy shower, Aroma Swedish massage, facial, eyelash tint, eyebrow wax and tint, and a 90-minute spa manicure and pedicure. Holy wow! Sign us up.
They have 2- and 3-bedroom villas perfect for families
The Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley has a heap of accommodation options – including a room with a private pool – but for families, the villas are where it’s at.
The 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom villas all come with a private kitchenette, separate lounge and dining area, private bathroom, and your own private balcony or patio overlooking the resort. It’s the perfect option for families who want the convenience, luxury, and facilities of a resort but the space and privacy of a single dwelling. It’s a win-win in all regards.
