About this property

The Tannery Mudgee Self-contained

*** Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine's Favourite Place to Stay in Mudgee 2019 ***
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.

Exquisite country accommodation in the heart of Mudgee

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.

Rates are actually calculated based on booking for one or two rooms/couples so the pricing for two singles may be calculated incorrectly in this system - we will confirm upon booking request.

Minimum two night stay. Pets 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.

Perfect getaway

The Tannery is old world charm and is a home away from home. It boasts a well appointed kitchen with great cooking utensils, condiments and of course coffee. It is walking distance to the main centre of town so you can leave the car behind. I will definitely be back.

So many little extras and amazing recommendations

What a treat to stay in such a cute and historic home- thanks Darren for all the extras, especially the recommendations for food, wineries etc. We loved having a long lunch in the backyard with produce gathered from the Mudgee food scene. The house was cosy with the snap cold front, and the bed super comfy. A perfect place to end our cycle trip through the region.

Great pet friendly house

We enjoyed our stay at the Tannery and this house should be an award winning Pet friendly accommodation. Owners looked after us well with a thoughtful supply of pantry goods. Good quality linen, and we would have enjoyed a longer stay Other guests need to be aware the website cost is for 1 bedroom if you need the second bedroom you will need to make arrangements with the owner
