Discover Maitland, part of the Hunter region. Built in an era of pride, prestige and prosperity, few places in Australia have so carefully and sensitively captured and preserved nineteenth century grace and style.
Lauded as a "spectacular heritage city", the splendour and diversity of Maitland's architecture, from grand public buildings and superb country mansions to the warm sandstone, paved laneways and hidden courtyards of quaint villages, is captivating. The historic river port of Morpeth, now classified by the National Trust, is one such village. Rich in history, the township provides visitors with a sense of excitement in discovering the charm and perfect blend of history with contemporary living.
Maitland's historic attractions include Maitland Gaol, the Hunter Valley's newest tourist attraction, Grossmann House, Walka Water Works Recreation area, Maitland City Art Galley, the Maitland Heritage Mall and the historic village of Morpeth.
