What tourism sites and activities are nearby?
Bethel is just an hour from the beautiful Pokolbin Valley, one of Australia’s premier wine districts and home to such estates as Tyrell’s and Lindemans. Wineries offer tastings at the cellar door, and the bigger ones offer picnic or BBQ areas. If you want to sit down to a meal, there is a wide range of styles on offer from café and brasserie to fine dining. Closer to home residents can enjoy Newcastle’s many different areas such as the Civic Cultural Precinct. This precinct features the city’s most prestigious venues such as City Hall and the Art Deco Civic Theatre, built in the 1920s. Or there are the glorious views from the Honeysuckle redevelopment of Newcastle’s waterfront. What were working wharves are now foreshore promenades and open squares that offer waterfront cafes and restaurants. The Promenade along the foreshore is an easy walk suitable for all the family.
