We stayed at Bandalong cottages for four nights in July 2022, after two postponements due to the 2021 lockdowns. It was well worth the wait. What a gem! I hesitate to write this review as I am tempted to keep this address to myself, but that would not be fair to the wonderful owners. Communication at all stages of the booking was great. Bandalong cottages are for nature lovers and those who want to enjoy some peceful and quiet time in the bush. The vast property is a few minutes out of Mudgee town centre but very close by car. The wildlife is abundant: we saw kangaroos and many different types of birds. There is no wifi and very limited mobile reception on the property, which suited us but might not suit everyone. (Even our teenager saw the benefits of it!) However, you can watch TV, there is a wonderful collection of books, DVDs and Cds (loved the music selection!). Or just look up at night to discover the magnificent skies and constellations if you are lucky enough to be there on clear nights, like us. This is truly spectacular. Our cottage was beautifully appointed, tastefully decorated (the family is clearly very talented and artistic) and warm thanks to the great logfire. The owners have thought of everything, even a booklet of vouchers with discounts in various local wineries and shops. Mudgee and surrounds offer much to see and taste! It was a truly cherished holiday for all of us, a family of four, and our dog, and we hope to be back soon. Thank you again very much Diane and Catherine and all the very best from us.
