Why it's worth checking out
The OrangeTree is a licensed cafe by the river on High Street in Maitland, the historic Hunter Valley town north-west of Newcastle. A 4.5 rating from more than 540 reviews shows it has become a well-liked spot for locals after a relaxed bite with a lovely outlook.
The appeal is a welcoming cafe with a riverside setting and the bonus of being licensed — somewhere to settle in for breakfast, lunch, a coffee or a glass at a leisurely pace. Maitland's handsome heritage High Street makes it easy to combine a visit with a wider wander through the town.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and weekends can get busy. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
