Situated 10 minutes drive from Mudgee, 'Tahoma' is a fantastic 'get away from it all', yet close enough to take advantage of the local markets, shops, cafes and wineries.
Tahoma can be what you want it to be, a romantic getaway for two, fun family times, friends enjoying a weekend together, or a solitary retreat for the writer, artist or contemplator to spend some time.
3 bedrooms for up to 8 guests. Nestled on a hill with beautiful uninterrupted views .
The space
We are approximtely 3.5 hours drive from Sydney Central.
The cottage is very private, fully self contained, tastefully furnished and nestled at the top of a hill with beautiful uninterrupted views, set amidst 150 acres of natural bushland. Old trails make for some fun hikes or rides for those who want to go adventuring and perhaps come across some local wildlife. The property has kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, echidnas, large goannas and you might even see some deer, goats or pigs.
Of an evening, watch the sunset and light your firepit (firebans permitting) or stay inside with the warmth of the large pot belly and enjoy a romantic evening with a partner, or fun with family or friends.
The linen press is full of old styled boxed games and there are plenty of books to read.
Mudgee boasts many fine wineries and tour operators that will pick you up from the property.
ACCESS: (VERY IMPORTANT to read before booking)
It can make the booking process quicker if you let me know upon enquiry that you have read this and are all ok with it.
This is a true country property with the cottage up a steep incline (oh what we do for views, remoteness, romanticness and solitude!). This is not city driving it is a country property with terrain to match. The access road to property is about 500 meters of dirt road which can be bumpy and uneven. There is a small shallow creek crossing which is usually an inch or two deep. Little and low cars aren't appropriate.
In Short: A 4WD or AWD SUV is the best, however if you are a confident driver a front wheel SUV works too. A small and/or low car is unsuitable.
If you do not have an SUV or AWD or 4WD, all is not lost, some guests traveling in groups have parked their smaller cars at front gate and hopped into a friends SUV and travelled up to the cottage, we even had group on bikes at one stage leave their bikes down below and trekked up to the cottage! Where there is a will there is a way!
