LOCATION AND EXPERIENCE
The serene quintessentially Australian bushland setting offers rest and relaxation, however it can also become the centre of a full expedition experience. Excursions can be as simple as a bush-walk followed by a wine tasting excursion over the many surrounding vineyards. Alternatively, stretch out of your comfort zone with breakfast in a hot air balloon or a horse-ride through the Brokenback ranges.
Travel from Sydney CBD via car: approximately 160kms or 2 hours.
Scenic route: At Wahroonga take the F3 Freeway towards Gosford & Newcastle. Take the exit to Peats Ridge. It is well signposted. Follow the road for approx 10 minutes until you reach Mangrove Mountain, after the Caltex Service Station, then take the turn off to the left towards Wollombi. Follow this road straight through Wollombi and head towards Broke. Corymbia is 11.6kms or 10 minutes from Paynes Crossing, which is a small bridge located about 15 minutes from Wollombi. If you happen to miss the Corymbia signage, which is located at the entrance of the property, and you get to Broke, it is 6.11 kilometres back the way you came on the left hand side.
An alternative route is through Cessnock.
