You may like to stroll the citrus grove for a handful of seasonal fruits of oranges, lemons, grapefruit and mandarins ripe for the picking during the winter months, with wild pomegranate and peaches awaiting discovery elsewhere on the property by the discerning gatherer. At night, gather your friends and family around the fire pit to share the days adventures and tell stories whilst you toast marshmallows and gaze up at the stars. But that's not all, far from it.

Other things to note Positioned just a brief drive from Gresford village, an hour from the renowned Hunter Valley vineyards and 2.5 hours from Sydney, accessing The Lodge at Mount Rivers is effortlessly convenient. Door to door limousine transfers, or helicopter transfers from Sydney and Newcastle airports to the doorstep of The Lodge, can also be arranged as can tours of the greater Hunter Valley region Whether you’re journeying from nearby or venturing from afar, our tranquil haven is within easy reach, promising an unforgettable escape in the heart of the Hunter Valley. The Lodge at Mount Rivers is positioned on the banks of the Paterson River. Access to The Lodge is across a ford which is regularly monitored. The Paterson River levels rise and fall all year round dependent on rain events and upstream water releases from river systems and dams. This affects the height of water over the ford and access in and out of the property. In the interest of guests’ safety, crossings are only permitted when the level of the river is lower than the permissible crossing heights which varies depending on your vehicle (up to 0.4m for standard sedans and hatchbacks and 0.6m for larger-style 4WD vehicles and SUVs). If the river rises between 0.6m-1.2m, a Mercedes Unimog (large military troop carrier) is available on site to cross the river to enable you to still enjoy your stay. As the level of the river is out of our control, if access is not permitted (above 1.2m only – extremely rare) , your booking may be cancelled and refunded or alternatively, rebooked and moved to a future date. If you are a guest in-house and the water level rises during your stay, you may be required to stay longer until the river levels recede to a safe level to permit crossing.
