Visit Murrurundi
Places to stay, eat and explore on the New England Highway.
Murrurundi Directory Categories
Murrurundi sits directly on the New England Highway in the Upper Hunter Shire, roughly midway between the Hunter Valley and the New England Tablelands — a natural stopping point for travellers heading north or south, and a destination in its own right for a weekend away. Accommodation, cafes and eateries along Mayne Street make it easy to break the journey, while the surrounding countryside at the foot of the Liverpool Range offers walking tracks, historic sites and rural scenery within easy reach of town.
Beyond food and a bed for the night, Visit Murrurundi is also the place to browse local shops and retailers, and to plan around what's on — the town's arts scene, heritage attractions and its calendar of annual events like the King of the Ranges Stockman's Challenge & Bush Festival. The Murrurundi Visitor Information Centre on Mayne Street is the best starting point for maps, current opening hours and local recommendations.
