The perfect farm stay so close to town and wineries.

This immaculate property is full of character and breath taking views. The linen was luxurious and facilities were super clean with an abundance of cooking ingredients, teas and coffees. The fresh eggs were amazing! Kids loved swimming in the river, collecting eggs, playing the outdoor games and cooking marshmallows on the fire. Parents loved relaxing on the porch, sipping on the local wine while watching the sunset behind the hills. Less then five minutes to Glen Willow sporting fields and town, an ideal location.

Great place, close to town

A cosy cottage close to town, fire pit and pizza oven were fantastic to sit by at night and make pizzas. Plenty of room for 8 of us and the owners were amazing to deal with and very helpful. They came to inform us of an impending hail storm and made space for our cars undercover

Lovely welcoming property

Charming cottage for our family (and Speagle) - lots of space and beautifully furnished. Great to have fresh eggs for breakfast and thanks for the fresh milk! Despite the wet weather, we made good use of the table tennis table, TV, piano and were kept warm by the fireplace. Great location. Will be back!

Fantastic Farm Stay

The property was so clean and decorated so well. There was not anything that we didn't miss. Jill catered for everything. Plenty of towels, great linen, comfy beds and the house was warm. Fresh Eggs on the bench on arrival and everything in the kitchen that you need. The young adults and teens loved staying in the shed which was kept warm with the air conditioner. We could have lit the fire stove as well but decided to just use the fireplace inside the house. Highly recommend this farm house.

Just beautiful!

We had the best time staying at this beautiful property! Picturesque property with relaxing country views and the house was so comfortable and had enough space for 8 adults. We were close to all the wineries (5-10min drive tops) and 5 mins from the town centre! Jill was super helpful and even made pizza dough for us to use in the pizza oven one night, they set up the area with festoon lighting and a fire pit making it the perfect evening to end our weekend away! Would recommend this place to everyone when visiting Mudgee! You will fall in love with it just as much as my family and I did :)

Mudgee get away trip for large family and dog

Thank you Jill and Rob for the great 4 day stay last weekend. The farm Is a nice walk to town. Perfect location for a large family or group of friends. You have thought of everything to make the house and games room very homely and interesting to live in. The family loved the egg collection each day and then cooking up a fresh breaky. Well done regards Dave and lou

Great place to stay for a friends group or large family in Mudgee

Property was great, Jill was a great host setting up the wood fired pizza oven first night and providing the dough. The property has a great set up with a fire pit. The location is perfect for trips to wineries and only a short drive to the centre of town. All my mates loved the weekend and would happily do it all again.

My friends and I absolutely loved this place and will definitely be coming back! Jill is amazing and so helpful and lovely. The fire oven and fire pit was an amazing way to start our weekend away as well as the extra bonus of fresh chicken eggs for our breaky. The place is exactly as described and I would highly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Jill McNickle & Robert Yavion

Hi I'm Jill. My partner Rob and I live on 20 acres, on the river 3km out of Mudgee. I've recently been doing the parkruns in Mudgee and enjoy being an active member of our dragon boating club! We'd love for you to come stay on our property. We value privacy for our guests but are accessible when need be. Hope to see you in Mudgee!

Why they chose this property

We have relished restoring the old farm homestead and bringing it back to life for guests to enjoy! I kind of also think the cottage is enjoying all the different friends and families coming to stay, laugh and party!

What makes this property unique

I think the unique benefits of our property is the location and setting. Guests can truly relax by the river, the pizza oven and fire pit, on the back verandah or on the front porch with a book while overlooking the rose garden.
