Beautiful suburb with everything you need is in there. Lots of restaurants, petrol station almost in every block. Unfortunately, we feel that the locals are not so friendly with visitors/foreigners come to visit or to explore. They look at us like weird or strange.

Maitland itself has some historic buildings and so has Morpeth but by 3pm Saturday afternoon only the pubs and supermarkets were open. The river area behind the Levee area was a big letdown, just a couple of people with their dog. You have to look down to the river which is not much to look at anyway.

we had dinner at Club Maitland. They have meat raffles on a Sunday night. Large portion meals, would recommend. We were only there for one night on personal business so didn't do any touristy things.

Maitland is very quiet. A pub we went to - alas we have to wait an hour for our meal (party of 5). Cessnock and Pokolbin are much nicer and a little bit bigger and closer to all the wineries. But for convenience to certain areas, I would not complain. Check out Hunter Valley Gardens, Harrigan Pub, the Smelly Cheese shop and also a chocolate shop in the area

Maitland proved to be a very unattractive town, with little in the way of character and facilities. For a visit to the Hunter Valley wineries, we’d recommend staying in the Pokolbin area, much prettier and a true reflection of a major wine growing region.

Enjoyed going back to Maitland lived there in the 1980's. Has grown. Morphett a town close by was lovely to visit lots of little shops and the most incredible antique shop. Good shopping centres if you need anything, Maitland City Club at Rutherford very good for a meal. Food very good.
