    Couldn't find any fire wood onsite for the fire pit, but a short drive to the servo had that sorted.

    Stunning views across the pastures to watch to wildlife, birdlife, pasture herds and sun sets. We have stayed in all the different types of accommodation on offer during various visits to Owl Head Lodge and all are just gorgeous! So secluded and peaceful, yet just a 5-10 min drive has you right in the heart of the main street in Gulgong. For spot for star-gazing by the fire pit on moonless nights. Pack your telescope!

    Best place I have stayed in the mudgee area. Lovely location, everything you could ever need inside. They seem to care that you enjoy your stay and the hospitality is amazing. Beds and linen so comfy. 10/10. My kids loved it too! Wouldn't stay anywhere else. Gulgong is a nice town as well and bigger than you might think.

    #1 as a driver one issue I had was finding the cut off road at night when arriving at the location limit visibility and no lights marking the entrance to the access road #2 Just a pet peeve nothing serious but I'm a huge coffee drinker and the Lack of supply's in the kitchen the sugar and coffee capsules and milk was very limited so for our next getaway I'll make sure to pack extras

    We are a very new couple only in our first year of dating and this was the first trip we have ever done together The drive from Sydney was very scenic and beautiful how civilisation melts away Gf was amazed by the country setting she never experienced country living or being so far away from the city but she Loved the location felt like it was heaven in the middle of nowhere and the sunset was amazing she was blown away by the rustic country culture and how cute she found the shops Our son loved the tv & swimming pool he loved seeing the yaks & playing bored games and getting too be a kid again For us seeing him so happy and making friends with other kids and guests without a screen in his face was the highlight of the trip Me personally loved the place perfect for pictures in the morning and the local's was amazing definitely worth the money & definitely coming back

    Nothing comes to mind. We were the only guests so the tranquility may have been lessened with guests in the other apartments.

    Close to Gulgong but boasting a real ‘out of the way’ feel, Owl Head Lodge offers wonderful countryside views in a relaxed setting. Contactless check-in. Will definitely look to stay there again when in the region.

    Superb location, studio glass walled living area, unique and perfect for relaxing and taking in the rural vistas. Room was spotlessly clean, perfectly turned out ,with all that is required for a perfect getaway. Will definitely return and soon 👌👌👌.

    One of the BBQs didn't work (ignition switch broken) but there were two, so it didn't matter!

    Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Amazingly peaceful, even with guests staying in the other apartments. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, meeting the resident goats, stargazing at night... The perfect base to explore Mudgee and Gulgong, and escape from the city for a few days. I would definitely stay here again!

    A lovely location at a very reasonable price

    The room was hot and stuffy when we arrived, and the windows cannot be opened. The air-conditioning eventually cooled it down, but it would have been a nice touch if it had already been running when we arrived. The bathroom dividing wall was only a partition, which means that smells and noises are not contained. This spoils the romantic atmosphere somewhat. Not enough power points in accessible positions. Finally, the outdoor furniture looks great but the chairs are all excruciatingly uncomfortable to sit on, which defeats the purpose.

    Lovely quiet location only a few minutes' drive from Gulgong. Attractive buildings in a rural setting. The lockbox system for key access makes checking in and out very flexible and convenient. Very comfortable bed, I slept well. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and the kitchen well fitted out. The freezer actually froze things - very unusual in accommodation! The shower was first-rate, plenty of hot water and pressure, and no flooding the bathroom floor like some places I have stayed. Despite the glass walls it was very private and the blockout blinds and bathroom curtains do their job. We didn't test out the swimming pool but it looked inviting. The room was immaculately clean.

    Love the immense space of this environment: the undulating pastures and vast skies. The creation of the glass cottages complex with rural views is an architectural gem. I've stayed here before and will definitely be back.
