The Mudgee Homestead Guesthouse

Karen & Sean are excellent hosts and their Homestead is beautiful. We had a 4 night stay, it was perfect to unwind and relax. The breakfast each morning was superb and the afternoon tea's were amazing, Karen makes beautiful cakes. Waking up to the view of the mountains & Kangaroos every morning is a great way to start the day. We will definitely be back.

A wonderful place. A big log fire in the sitting room, heating from Aircon in the bedroom. The hosts were charming. Food was delicious. Downstairs snooker and games room was appreciated.

Spent a weekend here for mums 60th birthday and loved it. Beautiful homestead, stunning outlook and the home made meals are sensational. Such kind owners. Thankyou so much, we will be back!

Karen & Sean have really made a sanctuary in Mudgee- a beautiful town that was absolutely enhanced by this wonderful property. Well designed, beautifully put together. Wonderful hosts, who are ready and willing to help you on your stay in town. A wonderful selection of local goodies available at the house.House was beautifully designed and comfortable rooms, amenities including a private bathroom/shower, and communal pool table/ dart board/ coffee machine & teas. Lots of books and board games available as well. Wish we could have stayed their a week- wonderful experience. Incredibly clean- gorgeous views and look at local wild life! Rooms felt very private- no noise came in from hallways or outside, feels like you have the town to yourself.

Beautiful caring hosts, exceptional attention to detail and the most relaxing and comfortable experience we could have wished for. A Mudgee visit wouldn't be complete without a stay in this homestead. The first class breakfasts, daily afternoon tea and fresh cakes are just an example of the uniqueness of this guesthouse experience.

Beautiful location with a beautiful view. We stayed at the homestead over the Easter weekend, and we had a wonderful time. Our hosts were very welcoming and made us feel at home. The facilities are excellent and the cooking was sublime, the breakfast was just incredible, the cake at afternoon tea was fantastic, and the Saturday night dinner was scrumptious. We highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed!

We booked out the whole place for a long weekend with friends and loved it.A gorgeous homestead on a farm with lovely views of the countryside and hills, not far from some of the best vineyards in Mudgee. The homestead has 7 bedrooms, each with an en-suite, doors out onto the verandah and a large dining and living room to share.Breakfast is served, as is afternoon tea. We also had a three course dinner served on Saturday night, starting with canapés and wine and ending with port & chocolates in the lounge. Food here was great and there was plenty of it, especially at breakfast. Home made preserves, preserved fruit from their orchards, hot and cold options.Karen & Sean are amazing hosts and very accommodating. You never went hungry here and most things were catered for. The rooms were clean and well stocked. The common kitchen had plenty of tea and coffee and you could buy snacks and wine from them if you wanted.Down below the house is a large games room with big TV, wet bar, pool table, darts and arcade games. A great space to enjoy and hang out.Loved it here and would come back again with friends for a few days. Great location close to Mudgee and their land has so many kangaroos you can see at dusk and dawn.

Karen’s mouth-watering home-made cake, offered on our arrival with a reviving coffee, was a great introduction to the relaxing stay that Brigitte and I enjoyed in the perfect, ultra-comfortable guest house that Karen and Sean have created in a perfect location! Their hospitality is so genuine (not “commercial”), and they have developed and decorated the property with great flair.We enjoyed an outstanding breakfast on the verandah, looking out onto the beautiful surrounding countryside, before regretfully leaving this peaceful haven and heading for home.Can’t wait to go back for another (and longer) stay at this first-rate guest house.

We just had 3 nights at The Mudgee Homestead Guesthouse, what amazing hosts Sean and Karen were. Our room was lovely and the dining and lounge rooms gorgeous, nothing was too much trouble. Afternoon tea with those amazing cakes sitting on the front balcony enjoying the view was special. We enjoyed being spoilt for breakfast each day with yummy local produce. Thank you so much for having us, highly recommend.
