So Peaceful, close to town
10 mins from Mudgee, this was an amazing find. Kids loved exploring the hill behind the house and cooking marshmallow's over the fire.

Wonderful seclusion for us and the doggies
Mountain retreat was the perfect secluded spot for us to relax with our family. We loved our stay - the wildlife, the ability to let our dogs play out the front of the cabin, a hearty fire with the stars above for dinner. Just perfect! We love Mudgee, so we'll be back for sure. Janene was also amazing with communication of the road condition following a lot of rain, so thanks so much.

IDYLLIC GETAWAY
Very secluded, quiet, treechange getaway. Reading a book overlooking the valley, a few wines and cheese watching the sunset. The only sounds that wake you up are birds and sheep that you can just see in the distance. Fully furnished with all mod-cons and internet if you wish to use it. We will be visiting again in winter to snuggle up to the wood heater and fire pit of an evening.

Relaxing retreat
We had such a relaxing time at Mullamuddy. Imagine a wine in hand, sitting around the fire overlooking spectacular views. We loved all the homely and thoughtful touches especially the marshmallows and snacks for the kids! We also loved walking around the property exploring. The description is right- definitely need a 4wd vehicle to make it up that driveway. We only wish there was a shower curtain. Highly recommend spending some time away from it all in this relaxing place.

So wonderful you enjoyed your stay! It’s a little secret hideaway but close enough to Mudgee to make it perfect for touring around. Just a clarification on access, any front wheel drive or SUV type vehicle can navigate the hill ( doesn’t particularly need a 4WD) I drive an Audi Q3 for example :) Taking your suggestion of shower curtain on board though will look into it! Thankyou ! 💫 cheers and thanks for the great review !

Our fantastic stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tahoma, 7 days just wasn’t enough! The house was amazing with lots of added touches, the fires kept us cosy and we were very comfortable. The quietness and fantastic view of the surrounding valley and hills gave us a feeling of serenity. The orientation of the cottage had sunshine beaming in most of the day which was ideal. Tahoma exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to return one day. Barb and Des.

Real Country Escape
Lovely, secluded cottage with excellent views. The addition of A/C to the sunroom / 3rd bedroom is a big plus, and was much appreciated by our group (37 degree days). This room also now has a double bed and futon (current photos show bunk bed / lounge) which would make for a nice retreat space for a third couple if traveling as a group without children. We had fun with the board games, and would have loved to have enjoyed the firepit, but the heatwave weather nixed that for us. Perhaps another time ! And don't underestimate the recommendation for a 4WD or AWD SUV to tackle the driveway and hills to get the most out of your stay.

Thanks for being lovely guests Damon, glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, there is a reason I don't take instant bookings, always worried someone will turn up in a sports car! SUV (or better) required. Although I did have a recent guest who turned up in a mercedes and they drove the hill! couldn't believe it (eek) !

Serenity and seclusion, but
The house was very clean. Janene stayed in touch with us throughout our stay and made sure that everything is ok. I grew up on a farm myself, but the road leading to the property is so bad, you'd struggle even with a 4 WD. There is building material everywhere on the property, tools there is even an old caravan. Needs a very good clean up The 3rd bedroom I believe used to be a sunroom, it doesn't have an A/C, I slept on the couch in the living area for 3 nights cause it was too hot.

In response to Zac’s review and rating for his New Years Eve stay:- 1. Access - Before approving each booking I ask the type of vehicle a guest is bringing as I did with Zac. He told me he had a vehicle that was ‘not’ suitable and assured me he could leave it at front gate. The road is fine for average drivers with a 4WD, AWD, SUV or similar as travelled by hundreds of our other guests, over many years, with no complaints. 2. Off-limit Areas. On our 160 acre property, areas where there are building materials, tools, cottages and a caravan are in private, out of view areas we are working on. They are not in view of the cottage and so do not impact our guests stay. Guests are not allowed in these work/Reno areas in accordance with our house rules. 3. Yes, the lovely 3rd bedroom with the big window and view is off front veranda as advertised. It does get hot in summer but up till now fans have been enough for guests. I am unsure why guest slept on sofa when there were two bedrooms within air conditioned cottage. I’ve taken this as an improvement suggestion and ordered an A/C for this outer room which will be installed in the next week.

Simple Peaceful Escape
Older style property, tastefully renovated (rain-head in bathroom superb) 20min from town. It's a pretty drive along Queens Pinch Rd, then a fairly rough/steep drive up to house (4wd definitely recommended). When you reach the house at the top you have total serenity, with great sunset views from the campfire. The room off the verandah was too hot to really use in January as it has full glass windows, but the air-con inside the main house was totally fine. Janene is a lovely host & popped over the second we had a problem with the hot water, & it was an easy fix. If you like simple living, are fine with the odd creepy crawly & want seclusion, this is a great stay. Its good value for $. We fell in love with it more each day .

Great spot for a weekend getaway
We had a wonderful weekend at Tahoma. The location is secluded and relaxing but close enough to explore the wineries. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit along with good tunes (no neighbours 😉)perfect for a winter stay. The property was very clean and had everything you need along with some lovely little touches when you arrive. Communication with the host was great! Highly recommend 😊

Fantastic view
The driveway is steep but well worth the trip to the top. The remote location is fantastic and it's only a quick 10 min trip to town. The outdoor fire was great with a few wines and some music on. We also enjoyed a few DVDs. We thoroughly enjoyed the rural break, the wildlife with all the thoughtful creature comforts at Tahoma.

Peaceful Rural Getaway
Tahoma was so peaceful and relaxing. The views from the house are awesome and we trekked to the top of the hill and they were even more amazing! Sitting around the outdoor fire, we had a beautiful view of the stars and jagged a full moon as well. A great getaway still close enough to the wineries and to Mudgee township that you have the best of both worlds!
