Our story
A quiet welcome, the Hunter Valley way

Set back from the road, close to everything
Hunter Valley Travellers Rest is a friendly 3-star motel in Aberdare, just on the edge of Cessnock. With seventeen rooms wrapped around a leafy garden and courtyard, we're tucked away from the traffic — which means a genuinely quiet night's sleep, two kilometres from the main street and ten minutes from the vineyards.
We're not trying to be a luxury resort. We're proud to be clean, comfortable, welcoming and excellent value — the kind of honest, easy stay that travellers, families and the occasional four-legged guest come back to.
