About this property

Lawson Farm Cottage - Charming farm stay

Built in C1840 this historic cottage is right in the heart of the Mudgee wine trail, 5 minutes from the centre of Mudgee's wonderful restaurants and cafes. Perfect for families or friends getaways bring your bikes or walking boots and enjoy our lanes and farm walk.

Our comfortable cottage sleeps 6-8 guests on two Queen beds, King Single Bunkbeds, King Single and single. We have a fully equipped kitchen with an open plan large living room that has a combustion fireplace. The dining table extends to seat 10 and the combustion fire will keep the whole house warm in the cooler months and we have bedroom fans/heaters and reverse air conditioning for the warmer months. Two TVs and DVD players and music speakers. Front and back covered outdoor seating areas with lovely views over the farm, garden and dam.

We have one large bathroom with a bath, and another outside toilet and basin across the cottage driveway amongst the garden.

Good quality bed linen, large soft towels, farm fresh eggs, our own wine and a Nespresso coffee machine all there to enjoy. We provide milk and butter and complimentary wine for your late arrival. There is wifi available as well.

We have horses, Angus cattle, chooks, 2 miniature schnauzer dogs and a working farm.

I have a guide full of information and ideas to enjoy your stay and we look forward to hosting you on our farm. We do have an unfenced dam and an electric fence around our chooks so unless strictly monitored we don't recommend very young children.

The bedding configuration is two queens, one king single bunk bed, one single bed in a room with another king single bed.

We have a fire pit that can be used to cook on or sit around it is $25 extra to use for wood cost. The property is also monitored by two outside security cameras for your safety and ours.

Farmstay

The property was perfect for our group, the children had a lot of space to roam around and the area is well appointed for wineries. The beds were all very cosy and comfortable and we really enjoyed the out door fire pit and the peace and serenity of the views in the morning. Overall a very special place and we will definitely be back again!

Fabulous Weekend With the Girls

Fabulous comfy beds - though wrought iron bed may need some oil as very squeaky even to sit on - beautiful warm cottage with country vibe. Chickens, cows, horses etc. close to central Mudgee. Elephant Mountain Wine tasting onsite. Indoor fire, so cosy and outdoor fire pit - the skys were amazing. Any questions or issues our host was there for us to rectify and we had a fabulous long weekend. A great place to stay would stay there again.

Brilliant base to explore Mudgee

Close enough to the action but just far enough to feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Our party of 4 adults and 4 kids had a ball, great facilities and outdoor space, fireplace and fire pit was a hit. Was able to easily explore the range of restaurants, wineries and artisan produce of the area. Had a fabulous long weekend. Thanks to hosts Cate and Ian who made sure we had everything we needed.

Family Christmas holiday

Our family really enjoyed our holiday over Christmas at the farm. We had a baby and a toddler with us and found the closeness to Mudgee very convenient. The local swimming pool was a big hit. The farm was comfortable and the horses and chickens a bonus entertainment. Early mornings and evenings were beautiful to enjoy the rural surrounds outside.

Wonderful location and property, excellent host.

Very excited about our stay, great communication with host. Self Check In was easy. Cottage was wonderful and has everything we needed in tge kitchen, games, big dining table and couch space, lots of wood for the indoor fire which kept the whole house toastie. Heaters in every bedroom. Beds were very comfortable with lots of extra blankets if needed (we stayed in winter). We patted the horses in the next paddock, we were lucky enough to be allowed to visit the hens and collect their eggs. Magical views over the paddocks to the mountains. Such a wonderful place that fits 2 familys of 4 comfortably. We will be back.

Relaxed peaceful place to stay

We were a group of 2 families with young children who stayed in March. Property was as in pictures, large bedrooms with comfy beds, quality bed linen and towels, well stocked kitchen, good bbq. Fresh eggs were a nice touch. Enjoyed the views and the location was close to vineyards. Kids enjoyed using pool. Cate was very helpful.

Family stay at Lawson Cottage (September 2020)

Our family really enjoyed our cottage stay near Mudgee. The property was well setup and we felt at home during our stay. Fresh eggs and other kitchen supplies were a lovely touch that added to the visit. Similarly, the presence onsite of the Elephant Mountain Wines cellar door added to the experience (some really good wine and other foodie goods for sale). Initially, we were a little confused about the availability of a washing machine (as it was listed as an amenity for the cottage). Cate was very helpful and facilitated access to her laundry whenever needed, but we feel this could be better described in the listing (especially for family groups ). Thank you for a very enjoyable stay and we hope to return sometime in the future.

Gorgeous heritage cottage so close to Mudgee

We loved our short stay here at Lawson Cottage and would definitely stay again if we are in the area. The house was so delightfully decorated with all sorts of bric-a-brac, there was plenty provided in the cottage to do and our kids loved the farm animals especially the very friendly baby foal! Thanks for making our stay so comfortable

Peaceful & perfect farm stay

We had a great stay at Lawson House. Cate has equipped the property perfectly & we had everything we needed for a family of 4. The beds were super comfy, the carpet lovely & lush, a big dining table & a super fireplace that warmed us all. Could easily have fitted more people if needed. We really loved the kitchen & cooking/eating brekkie (farm grown eggs) at the 2 kitchen benches. The friendly dogs, horses & chickens provided much entertainment & joy for all of us. As did the Cellar Door! 😉 We loved being that little bit out of town & able to walk/ride around the property & appreciate the stunning sunsets across the paddocks to the hills. Thanks Cate, we’d love to come back sometime!

The property is conveniently situated a short drive to the the town centre while being on a farm, the scenery is beautiful and the people very friendly. They have a cellar door on the property too (try the Chardonnay and Shiraz). The property is well maintained and has everything you need. We would be very happy to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Cate Simpson

We love where we live and chose this property for it's lifestyle. Our kids have flown the coop and we love to meet new people and share our piece of paradise with others. We enjoy growing our own produce and love to see others enjoy our produce

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for 40 years and previously housed the vineyards and tasting room for Frog Rock Wines, now sold to another Riverina winery. So many childhood memories here and established gardens that we still enjoy today.

What makes this property unique

We are 5 minutes from Mudgee town and close to other wineries and cellar doors. The views from this property truly capture the gentle welcoming hills of Mudgee and make you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle.
