Great value and quality stay…read more Rooms were neat and clean. Breakfast was terrific. Good location just a few mins from town and very near wineries, distillery, cheese shop and more. Lovely staff.

So long as your expectations are realistic the Woolpack is a great place to stay. I was there for 4…read morenights and it was only $50 a night for a room with an ensuite. (If you ask for room 1 it has two connected rooms with a king bed in each!). So far as pub accommodation goes the rooms are huge and very quiet. Sure they're not the most modern but they have air con, a fridge and a kettle. There was also a TV but with no aerial connection it was as good as a door stop. It's also located smack in the middle of town so you can walk to anything you need. There's parking out the back near Woolies as well. The cleaners come in each day and just do a basic tidy - emptying your bin and replacing towels. But thats about it. If you want your bed made and things wiped down you're out of luck. The only downer for me is no wifi. But at $50 a night for an ensuite room and $30 for no ensuite its the best value place to stay in Mudgee. Plus what you save on accomm costs you can then spend on food and wine!

Venture outside the specials, and the meals cover the gamut of salads, pizzas and steaks, at reasonable (though not super cheap) prices. Who knows; you may find some treasure down the cracks in the dining room vinyl seats!

We showed up last…read morenight at the tail end of dinnertime, and the staff were quick to bring us menus and advise of the need to get an order in if we wanted to eat. Honestly, we were just checking the various seating options out, and the barman put the menus in front of me as I was getting a beer. Options abound for a meal, as available add-ons are shown as optional extras (with prices), so you can customise your order according to your appetite or budget. Most meals and burgers come with great beer battered chips - maybe the best we've had in Mudgee - and fresh salads or steamed veggies. None of the leftovers of offcuts served by lesser establishments. Don't be doubtful about the quality of food here; if something seems off or not as you expect, mention it to any of the staff there and I believe they'll be both concerned and eager to put it right for you. It's that kind of place.

This review is covering "The Post" steakhouse restaurant…read more Do you love a quality steak, and are you prepared to let someone else cook it for you? If the answer is 'Yes!', then I think you'll have a good experience at this venue. Linked with the lobby of one of Mudgee's oldest motels, you might think of demand-based opening hours and cooking standards. However, it looks like they want to encourage non-guest diners, as they post specials and promotions on their own Facebook page. The tables are nicely set up, with linen napkins and tablecloths, and real wine glasses rather than the less serious stuff of standard motels. Sure, service may at times be more quaint than quality, but they get the job done if you're not pretentious. Ooh, but the steak is sublime! Our 2-4-1 specials on a (unbooked) dinner Wednesday evening were faultlessly done as ordered - Medium Rare - and so much better than we've had in quite awhile. Meat is the reason you come here, and this did not disappoint. Local wine was generously served by the glass. I think this establishment is worthy of your consideration.

We booked out the whole place for a long weekend with friends and loved it…read more 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.

It's a large place with 7 units. None are very big, but they're quaint and well-appointed. You won't want to spend much time in your room anyway. The place is on a hillside, overlooking the green flats of the Mudgee wine regions. Roos hop all over the property. Quaint country relaxation. The deck surrounding the house makes it a magical place to watch sunsets. There's a games room downstairs, with TV, darts and pool. Chilled. Owners Karen and Sean make excellent breakfasts. One morning was corn fritter with avocado and sour cream; another was eggs, bacon and seasoned sausage. If you stay on the weekend you can have dinner there on Saturday night. Our dinner upstairs was a four-course feast wherein they brought in a gourmet chef who produced fabulous dishes (i remember more roast pork than I could eat; the rest is a gastronomic blur). And, since you're in wine country, you can BYOB as much as you like. Retire to the sitting room for some complimentary port afterwards. It's minutes to most of the wineries, and close to town. It's gorgeous and comfortable. It is not cheap. Save your pennies. Midweek is cheaper. Tariffs are on their website. But it's totally worth it for special occasions.
