Elendar is 250 metres from the centre of the Morpeth village. A 3 minute walk will take you to the Heritage Listed Morpeth bridge, specialty stores, a supermarket, a doctor and a pharmacy. There are loads of cafes, two pubs, two bakeries (including the original Arnott's bakehouse), a cellar door and a couple of good restaurants as well as the award winning UAINE Candles which manufactures beautiful soy candles on the banks of the Hunter River.
Morpeth is also a great location for those of you wanting to explore the wineries and the region. Pokolbin (the winery centre) is about 40 minutes away by car. Newcastle (with its beautiful beaches and buzzing nightlife) is 35 minutes away; Port Stephens is less than an hour away and around Morpeth there are loads of little villages (such as Lorn, Bolwarra and Paterson) which are definitely worth exploring.
