Harrigans Irish Pub & Accommodation

Harrigans Irish Pub is a phenomenon in itself, a piece of Ireland evoking all the great things you hear about Irish hospitality. The magic of Irish pubs is their heady blend of story-telling and chatter (the craic in Irish) the food, music, a good glass or two of the black stuff creamy topped Guinness or Murphys or a nip of a fine malt.

Harrigans is designed in authentic style using Irish designers and stylists to create the right atmosphere. The ceilings are decorated with Irish sayings and the rooms have just enough memorabilia to pluck at the heartstrings of anyone who has a touch of Irish blood in their veins. In the heart of the vineyards, Harrigan’s offers superb 4-star accommodation with a unique style. Spectacular gardens, vineyards and mountains surround 48 beautifully appointed guestrooms and suites, each with their own balcony or courtyard. Take time to relax around out heated swimming pool or perhaps try a wine or beer tasting in Harrigan’s Cellars. Voted Best Country Bottle Shop at the NSW Australian Hotels Association Awards for Excellence, 2005.

Theres usually some toe-tapping tune to be heard in the bars and, if you hear someone singing a familiar tune, it could well be Bill Roche who named the pub Harrigans after the song of the same name from the musical Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Harrigans all-day dining menu is structured so that you can order a la carte Irish dishes, or cook your own steaks and meats on the barbecue. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, as they say and Harrigan's other NSW Australian Hotels Association award was for Best Bistro-Country. Season daily blackboard specials also add to the choice. Seating options give customers the choice of indoor dining or enjoying the space and freedom outside, perfect for families.

Harrigans Cellars range includes over 130 varities of boutique and imported beers as well as spirits, local wines and the exclusive Roche Wines.

Adding a new dimension to accommodation in the Hunter, Harrigans has 48 4-star guestrooms including eight suites and two self-contained family units. A swimming pool has also been added to the property for the enjoyment of in-house guests, making this a very attractive destination year-round. Conference facilities are also available here for those meetings that call for relaxed and convivial surroundings.

Things To Do Nestled at the foothills of the Brokenback Ranges in the heart of the Hunter vineyards, is one of Australia¡¦s premier tourism destinations - Hunter Valley Gardens, the perfect place for visitors to stay, play and shop and as a meeting place and shopping area for locals.

The atmosphere of this visionary 300-hectare development is a combination of elements inspired by Roche Group Pty Ltd, the family company of Bill and Imelda Roche. The key components include the new Hunter Valley Gardens, Hunter Valley Gardens Lodge & Conference Centre, Harrigan¡¦s Irish Pub & Accommodation, Grapeview Villas, Seasons Restaurant, Roche Wines and Hunter Valley Gardens, Village.



The Gardens

The centrepiece of the property is the 25-hectares of spectacular international display gardens.

The Hunter Valley Gardens are designed with sight, colour and fragrance very much in mind. Shape and form are paramount everywhere and you can sense the passion behind the creation of the gardens. Bill Roche has been personally involved in every aspect and detail, regularly walking the site to establish the positioning of features as well as plants and trees as well as deciding where seats should be placed, as he wants to make sure visitors to the gardens have every opportunity to enjoy them in comfort. Bill says, ¡§I have always loved the beauty of a well formed garden and the opportunity to share this with people from all over the world will be a great thrill.¡¨

Encompassing more than 8-kilometres of walking paths, each section of the garden blends so subtly into the other that you hardly notice the change in the plants and foliage until you come to features such as a column in the Italian Grotto topped by a statue of St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of birds and animals. An impressive range of statuary has also been strategically placed throughout the themed gardens, which include a Lakes Walk, the classic European Formal Garden and the Chinese Garden. Visitors can relive their childhood with their favourite larger-than-life fairytale characters in the spectacular Children¡¦s Story Book Garden, where you can even join the Mad Hatter for a cup of tea! A lavish array of colour and scent is found in the Rose Garden, with more than eight thousand roses on display. Within a short walk, through 180-year-old antique traditional Indian elephant gates, is the Mosaic Tea Garden, ¡¥St Francis of Assissi¡¦ in the Italian Grotto, the majestic 10-metre waterfall of the Sunken Garden and the elegant Japanese Garden.

The whole garden is an exciting journey through plants, trees and shrubs with an air of discovery at every turn for old and young. Guided tours will be available and the gardens are designed to be accessible to disabled visitors.
