Chapter 2: Why is winter considered a good time to sell property?
Nice to be here. So you have got also as part of this package that you're going to tell our audience about this morning, a little bit of a flight in the hot air balloon. That's right. We've got a flight for two people with Balloon Aloft, a sunrise balloon flight over the vineyards. which is a fantastic component to add to an already fantastic prize.
I mean, the Makura Resort, that's just a fabulous place to stay. And the go-karting, helicopter, wine tasting, it'll all make for just a beautiful stay in the Hunter Valley. All right. So tell us a little bit about exactly how this package with the balloon sort of paint the picture, I guess, is what I'm asking you to do. It's an early morning flight.
So let's imagine that you're talking me through. I'm the winner and you're telling me what's going to happen. Sure. Well, we start very early. That's right. So we meet about an hour before sunrise. So at the moment, that's around 5, 5.15 a.m. in the morning. We meet our passengers at Peterson House Winery, which is located in Percolbin.
And then we drive everybody out to our chosen launch location for the day. So that's dictated by the wind direction on the morning. So our pilots will make a decision. And then we drive everyone out to the launch location. There's a chance to watch the balloons being inflated before you have that beautiful sunrise flight over the vineyards. And that's about an hour in duration all up.
So it's a fabulous experience, spectacular scenery from up there in the hot air balloon. And then after the flight, you'll be able to watch as the balloons are deflated. You can assist if you'd like with the pack up of the balloon. And then we all drive back to Peterson House Winery again for a beautiful gourmet breakfast and a sparkling wine tasting after the actual flight experience.
I guess everybody's going to be hungry after, you know, all of that exercise. And how long does the whole thing take, Michelle? The entire experience is about four hours and included in the package, we also have some free digital photos so that you can remember your ballooning adventure bike. Wow, this makes me want to win the competition myself just for the hot air ballooning. Sounds fantastic.
All right, well, thank you for that, Michelle. And some lucky person is going to be up, up and away having that fantastic gourmet breakfast afterwards. Just sounds stunning. Absolutely. Good luck to everyone who enters. All right. Thank you for that, Michelle. And here is the secret word. The secret word is aloft.
Write that down, add it to the others because you'll need seven of them to go into the drawer. Let's Talk Property, a podcast series with Rich Harvey. Well, I don't think anybody this year across the country can say that they haven't experienced the chill factor of winter.
And let's not forget that we've had months of torrential rain to deal with, and we are now in the grip of cold temperatures that just want to make us curl up in front of the fire and stay warm. The silver lining is, however, that the snow resorts are doing high fives with big snow dumps.
