Wolgan Valley, NSW, Australia: Activities
March 2013
One advantage over Wolgan Valley vs. some of the other luxury accommodation we've stayed at was the included activities. It was easy to choose daily from a list or simply do nothing.
Horse riding: You have the choice of arena riding, trail riding or a carriage ride depending on your experience. We chose the carriage ride as I'd injured my arm on the Thursday night before leaving.
Bike riding: I'm not much of a rider but DH loved his early morning guided bike ride
Nature Walks: Not too strenuous but takes you through the valley with some fantastic views
Wildlife tour: Occurs at 5:30 pm. The main attraction is the wallabies, wallaroos, kangaroos and the famous albino wallaroos (there are five in the area, we saw 2, one up close)
Night wildlife spotting: Leave at 9:30 pm. The main attraction is the wombats. We saw at least a dozen. It with the albino wallaroo above was one of the highlights
Hang by the pool/spa (or swim in it): Once again each chair has a great view, it gets sun most of the day and even with kids around was a quiet place to chill.
Go for a private run/walk/bike ride: We choose a run by ourselves one afternoon, the view was again stunning
Lounge in your room: Its spacious and does have the plunge pool after all

Wolgan Valley, NSW, Australia: The Food
March 2013
As mentioned in a previous post, all meals are included and they are fabulous. Service was friendly, and if they got it wrong they fixed it ASAP no questions asked. Breakfasts were a casual affair with a cold buffet and hot meal options from the menu.
Lunch was out in downstairs cafe by the pool, where you could mix and match from the menu and there was always some tasty treat for dessert.
Dinner was a more formal affair, on two of the three nights it was a five course menu.
Seared scallops

Wolgan Valley, NSW, Australia: Accommodation
March 2013
One of the attractions of the Wolgan Valley Resort is its rooms. There's three types, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms in basic terms, but there's nothing basic about them. Each one has it's own private plunge pool, a delightful king size bed, a bath with a view and an amazing walk in cupboard.
