The location is terrific and it is a really nice space. My only issue was that the beds were pretty uncomfortable. Might not bother others but if you like a plush mattress this properly might not be for you.

Great base to explore the Mudgee region from

It was -1 degree outside when we were there so not much opportunity to use the outdoors there this time, but good space available for kids. Inside had the older cottage home charm with the new style kitchen and bathroom, everything you need to re-charge for the next days adventures. The bed are comfy and the electric blankets were greatly appreciated.

Marvellous Mudgee

House was cute cosy and warm. Location was perfect however the bed was extremely uncomfortable you could feel springs in your back and was painful to sleep on. Other than that we had a lovely stay thank you

Everything was great except for traffic noise that could be heard even throughout the night. We chose to stay somewhere central so might expect some noise but were wondering if double glazing the windows might help.

Not enough toilet paper and very thin otherwise a perfect stay

Clean, tidy and roomy. Easy couple of minutes walk to centre of town. Good size bathroom with good hot shower. Washing machine and spa too. Good size kitchen. Parking? A bit "hit & miss" with other cars parking in front of the house. Tried the driveway. Extremely tight squeeze, with only inches either side (med size SUV - anything larger wouldn't fit). Driver's door had to be beside verandah opening otherwise you couldn't get out of the car. All other car doors could not be opened because of narrowness of driveway. House on town bypass route. Weekend noise okay, but noisy on weekday early morning. The pedestal fan was a life saver as we kept window shut. I thought 1 x 200ml milk carton for coffee/tea was a bit skimpy for a 3 night stay. 2 clocks, but neither worked. Bedroom light didn't work, though there were 2 bedside lamps. First accommodation I've been to where they didn't supply shampoo.

Mudgee cottage

The cottage was very comfortable and exactly as advertised. The property manager, Emma was very helpful prior to our stay. Small problem with the outside bins that were stinky and needed emptying. Some road noise if you're a light sleeper like me. But all in all, a very comfortable stay and great location. Would recommend the property
