In a postcard-perfect pocket of the Hunter Valley, is a soothing detour dedicated entirely to a single plant. Tucked among vineyards near the quiet village of Broke, Hunter Lavender Farm welcomes rows of blooming lavender each summer, and the gates have now reopened for the season. If you’re keen for a sensory day trip that trades beaches and coastlines for tranquil mountain scenery, you’ll want to head in soon because the window to see the fields in full colour is very short. Here’s everything you need to know before visiting.
Hunter Lavender Farm
The farm spans 14 acres, with three different species of lavender creating a rich, purple landscape against the rugged backdrop of the Brokenback Ranges. Visitors can wander the fields at their own pace or simply take in the scenery. The concept for the farm was inspired by Provence but feels distinctly Aussie. And it’s not just about flowers. Beyond the lavender walks, the farm also hosts a small lineup of seasonal experiences, including guided yoga sessions among the blooms with lavender-infused cacao and a sound bath and hands-on beekeeping and honey harvesting workshops to harvest your own jars. While there, don’t forget to stop by Lavender Bar for botanical cocktails or a scoop of their signature lavender gelato.
