Farm stays

Tranquil Vistas is the location of El Prado Alpacas, one of the leading alpaca breeders in the Hunter and Central Coast region. Relax and enjoy watching the alpacas graze just outside your window or take a stroll along the many laneways in the property and see them close-up. Engage in a more personal interaction with the alpacas at feeding time each morning.

Visit the many well-known vineyards and restaurants not to mention golf courses (at last count 6) within 20 minutes of the farm.The quiet rural roads are ideal for bicycling and walking. Other nearby attractions include Hot Air Ballooning,the magnificent Hunter Valley Gardens, historic Morpeth, Newcastle, Nobby's, the Barrington Tops, Lake Macquarie as well as Port Stephens and Nelson Bay.

Spacious (10 foot ceilings), clean, living areas which include bar area, a large dining table which seats 8 people and a well-equipped kitchen make for easy living. A modern sound system compliments the scene. There is also a 9 foot Billiard table to play snooker or pool on.

With a glass of wine in hand from Tranquil Vale vineyard just down the road, enjoy nibbles on the back verandah surrounded by gardens or a barbeque in the screened outdoor area overlooking the alpaca paddocks and our lake.

This property is fantastic. It is very spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The entire house is in excellent condition, and has beautiful views of sweeping hills and gorgeous alpacas (we were lucky enough to see a newborn!). The owners are lovely and make you feel very welcome. This place was a fantastic find, and we would recommend it to anyone!
