The girls trip accommodation that might finally get the weekend out of the group chat. The George at The Station Hunter Valley sleeps up to 10 across two beautifully restored vintage train carriages, connected by a gorgeous pergola and outdoor entertaining area.
One carriage is made for gathering, with a full kitchen, dining and living space. The second has five bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and plenty of room for everyone to stay comfortably.

Outside, there is a fire pit, space to sit with a glass of wine and 25 acres to make the whole stay feel like a proper escape 🍷🔥

It is practical, beautifully styled and close to the Hunter Valley’s wineries, restaurants and cellar doors, making it such a good base for a girls weekend away.
