An Estate Rich in History
Experience the perfect blend of heritage charm and contemporary luxury.
Redbank Estate is more than just a place to stay – it's a journey through time, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Upper Hunter Valley. Originally part of the historic Redbank Village, the property's roots stretch back to 1828, when an inn and store first opened on this very land.
In 1920, William and Minnie Badgery acquired the estate and began its transformation into the iconic horse breeding stud that would become Wakefield Stud, breeder of Subzero, the winner of the 1992 Melbourne Cup.
Today, Redbank Estate seamlessly blends heritage charm with modern amenities. Whether relaxing by the pool or enjoying a meal in the expansive kitchen, you'll experience a private and luxurious retreat.
