Conferences at Hawley

Hawley prides itself on being an easily accessible, yet isolated 'place apart'. The 1870s National Trust-registered house and stables are set within a 160-hectare National Heritage supported sanctuary which enfolds extensive water gardens and vineyards and runs down to private sandy beaches which happen to be the western boundary of the Narawntapu Coastal National Park.

Conferences are catered for up to 30 delegates, other functions are up to 200. Competitive all-inclusive quotes can be provided. During your scheduled free time your delegates can enjoy golf, horse riding, hiking or just reading in a corner of the gardens.

 Hawley is as near to paradise as you will find on Earth and, yes, we are biased.
