Thanks for leaving a review Amanda. I would have replaced them for you during your stay - I'm sorry I wasn't aware. Brand new balls are now there. Thank you Diana

Amazing stay!
This property is in such a great location with a view over farm paddocks and rolling hills. It is well away from the highway so no concerns there. The tennis court and swimming pool are in great order and the country, after the recent drought breaking rain, is beautiful. We will be back!

Oh so quiet and peaceful
We had a lovely stay. Long deep sleeps without any noise. Beautiful misty mornings that burnt off quickly. Spring was beautiful in the gardens. Loved the house. Will be back.

Harrowfield Homestead stay
Amazing location with spectacular vista from every view point. Immaculate gardens and very well appointed house. Enjoyed the freshly laid eggs from the hens on site and complimentary port. Only drawback is the main bathroom, very small and no separate toilet. For eight adults there needs to be at least a separate toilet. We had a group of six so it was ok. Overall excellent and we would certainly book again.

Hello Suzanne Thank you very much for writing such a lovely and detailed review. I agree with you about the main bathroom and just to let you know, that it is scheduled for renovation in February. Thank you for staying at Harrowfield and hopefully you can return to see the renovation. Regards Diana

Peaceful country paradise
Harrowfield is a really beautiful country property. It is well located to Mudgee town and surrounding wineries. It is spacious, comfortable, clean and beautifully appointed. The garden is exquisite as are the views of the surrounding countryside from the bedrooms, the living room and the veranda. Fresh chook eggs were enjoyed by everyone. The pool was a treat after a hot day touring the wineries. Kids would love the trampoline and the chooks.

We were lucky enough to stay at Harrowfield Homestead recently and what a picturesque location! The abundance of windows in the main living space make sure you get to enjoy the view as well as the many different locations outside where you can sit and enjoy all this property has to offer. We were a group of 3 adults and 3 children and the kids loved the tennis court, unfortunately it was still a bit cold for a swim but the pool was beautiful with ample lounges to relax poolside in the warmer weather. A short drive to Mudgee and even shorter one to several wineries, it was an ideal location for our stay. The bedrooms were spacious, linens and towels were great and all the basics were provided. Overall a wonderful stay and I wish we'd had longer than a weekend, I'm already missing the view!
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
Hello Siobhain Thank you for your lovely review! I am so pleased you got to enjoy our property and yes, the kids would have loved the pool had it have been warmer. Thank you for staying with us and hopefully you can visit again. Regards Diana

Restful and pleasant stay
Very pleasant house and totally clean. Fire was toasty warm and kitchen well equipped. We would have preferred having a seperate toilet instead of the toilet being in the main bathroom, for 4 couples. Cute chickens and lovely eggs. 😁 A wonderful stay.

Hello Margaret Thank you very much for staying with us and taking the time to review Harrowfield Homestead. We have plans to renovate and add that extra toilet so that will be happening. I'm pleased you loved our chickens and yummy fresh eggs! Regards Diana

Harrowfield Homestead is set in a beautiful location with lovely views, and not too far from wineries and town. The living areas are generous and the wood fire is just awesome for chilly Winter nights. We sat out on the verandah and watched some spectacular sunsets. I would go back to this property to experience the pool and BBQ in facilities warmer months.

Hello Glenda - thank you for your lovely review. I'm pleased you got to enjoy the view from the verandah and also the huge fireplace. I look forward to hosting you gain in warmer months. Regards Diana

Excellent views and welcoming ambience
Very private and welcoming.Beds were very comfortable and had electric blankets and heating available in all 4 rooms.Fireplace and air conditioning kept us very warm along with sun which shone through the large glassed lounge room.Kitchen well equipped. The only issue we had was with the water pressure which seemed very weak. Would rent again.

Perfect property for weekend getaway in Mudgee
After searching a number of websites for a property for a 3 night stay for 8 (4 siblings + partners) in Mudgee I decided to book Harrowfield. The photos on stayz do not do the property justice. Upon entering the front door we were overwhelmed with a relaxed warm cosy atmosphere with a raging fire that Diana had lit for us. We all enjoyed a good nights sleep thanks to the comfortable beds (and perhaps a few glasses of Mudgee wine!). The block out curtains in the larger than expected lounge room kept in the warmth during the night and when we opened them up in the morning the sunlight came streaming in. The beautiful view of the countryside rivalled any of the properties I have seen on “escape to the country.” I had a couple of questions on arrival and Diana replied immediately via return text with answers. Harrowfield exceeded all expectations! If you are planning on a visit to Mudgee look no further - stay at Harrowfield. Thank you so much Diana for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Hello Maree Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review of Harrowfield AND such a wonderful one. I love making guests feel welcome and especially having the big fire raging away. That's what winter in the country is all about! I'm really pleased you enjoyed your weekend away and hope to see you again sometime. Regards Diana

Perfect country getaway
A beautiful house close to Mudgee. The house has been kept in excellent condition. There is so much space it’s great for families, giant yard, chickens, trampoline, tennis court and a pool. The view is amazing. I can’t fault it at all. Diana was lovely to deal with. Would love to come back and stay a bit longer next time! Highly recommend!
