About this property

The Tannery Mudgee Self-contained, walking distance to town centre

*** Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine's Favourite Place to Stay in Mudgee 2019 ***
Exquisite country accommodation in the heart of Mudgee

Catering on an exclusive use basis for up to two couples, with open fires, a fabulous dining room, modern kitchen, claw-foot bathroom, delightful rear garden and comfortable beds - all complimenting the simple style of the early Victorian era.
Enjoy the peace and quiet, luxury setting and handy location for a very special Mudgee getaway.

In 1858 a saddler by trade, James Dixon Little was operating the Australian Tannery at the rear of this site and it is believed that the present cottage was built by Little in the late 1850's as accommodation for workers at the tannery.

The cottage, though now renovated, has retained much of its natural charm. Catering for one or two couples, there is a comfortable lounge with open fire, two bedrooms with luxurious linen, comfortable beds (one queen and one double), a superbly finished bathroom with deep claw foot bath, fabulous dining room and large well-equipped industrial stainless steel kitchen, with second large fan-forced fireplace, all complimenting the simple style of the early Victorian era.

Enjoy the enclosed garden with covered verandah to sit and read the papers, sip a cup of tea or coffee, before strolling down the quiet Lawson Street to the town centre, the local markets, one of the many cafes, Roths Wine Bar, or the nearby Oriental Hotel. Country living in the heart of town - the best of both worlds.

With off street parking, TV/DVD/CD, wifi.

Tariff includes quality linen, standard kitchen provisions.

The Tannery is set up for adults and not suited for children. Note that the bedding comprises one queen and one double bed that are unable to be split to singles. Due to its heritage nature, The Tannery is not suitable for easy disabled access, in particular to clawfoot bath shower facility.

Minimum two night stay. Pets and children 2-15 yrs are not permitted.

Lovely heritage accommodation

We really enjoyed our stay at the Tannery. Darren is a wonderful host. The information that he provides on the town and the surrounding areas was fantastic. The house is lovely & the yard is great. It was extremely hot when we were there & it was hard to sleep without aircon. But we had a great time & look forward to staying there again.
