The location was great - within walking distance of unique country pubs which offer modern fresh food & beverages; the Three Tails craft beer and smokehouse and the main street of Mudgee - perfect!
However, whilst the three bedroom, 2 bathroom was what we wanted, the dark mirrors in the bathrooms were annoying; the beds not comfortable and there was no mop & dustpan. It was advertised as Serviced Apartments, but just prior to arrival, I received a text stating, due to COVID, there would be no housekeeping for our 3 night stay. To our knowledge, there was no COVID in Mudgee and were't offered a slight refund or compensation like a bottle of wine, and as we weren't advised at the time of booking, or a day before, we didn't think this was 'good hospitality'. We had 6 coffee pods for 3 days for 4 adults and the coffee machine just didn't work, nor did Netflix.
We booked the private bespoke Kirsten van for a 6 hour wine tasting and we were 'supposedly' booked into our choice of venue for lunch. However, the first vineyard wasn't open and the lunch venue was closed due to a private function. Clearly the organising of the tour was not professional. Belinda, our driver, was quick thinking and arranged alternative spots to visit and we all had a great day. On the plus side, it was good to have a garage to park our car and besides having a relentless barking dog in the mornings next to the main bedroom and tradesmen building a house at the other next door neighbour, we loved Mudgee.
