If you are looking for the best place to stay for a birthday or anniversary in the Hunter Valley, celebrate where you are staying. voco Kirkton Park is a boutique manor estate on 70 private acres in Pokolbin with rooms and suites, estate-to-plate dining at Locavore Restaurant and function spaces indoors and out, from the Rose Garden to the Secret Garden. The dinner, the stay and the party all happen in one place, so nobody is watching the clock or organising the drive home.
Birthday and anniversary stays in the Hunter Valley
Where should I stay for my birthday in the Hunter Valley?
That depends on the size of the party. For a smaller party, book a suite or two, dinner at Locavore and high tea the next day. For a girls weekend, our Besties & Bubbles Escape covers the sparkling wine and a Peterson House tasting. For anything bigger, our sales team puts the rooms and the party together around you, whether that is a few rooms close together with a private dining space or a whole function room for the big night. Milestone birthdays are something of a specialty.
Where should we celebrate our anniversary?
Somewhere that does not feel like effort. Think a suite with views over the valley to the Brokenback Ranges, a sunset glass of semillon on the verandah and dinner for two at Locavore. Our romantic escape packages add the thoughtful touches, with picnics, cocktails and breakfast included, and if you are marking a big one with family and friends, the gardens and function spaces are made for it.
Engagements, reunions and every other excuse
Proposals in the rose garden, engagement parties in the Secret Garden, reunions that fill the James Busby Room and its courtyard. If the occasion matters, it fits here. With a little notice our team can organise cakes, cupcakes and event menus, and add stay enhancements like a romantic arrival or wine and cheese in your room, so the only job left is showing up.
Make a weekend of it
Celebrations here rarely stay one night. Add a late breakfast in The Conservatory the morning after, a picnic hamper on the lawns, a wood-fired pizza evening, or a slow vineyard day with cellar doors minutes from the gate and a driver booked for the afternoon. Then wander back to your room.
