Offering the best of Mudgee rural seclusion, River Ranch combines unique ranch art, antiques and old wares with contemporary finishes and modern conveniences. A striking exterior with barn doors and timber shutters framed by lush landscapes welcomes guests inside. The camp kitchen includes all essentials—fridge, freezer, microwave, oven, toaster, stovetop coffee maker, and blender. An open-plan living area flows into the lounge with a wood-burning fireplace, rustic décor, pool table, and air-conditioning. Barn doors in the dining area open to stunning valley views. Outside, a wrap-around verandah overlooks the picturesque Riverlea valley. Fire up the BBQ and dine on the large deck under the festoon lights, or enjoy a wine and cheese plate around the fire pit. There is also a separate fire pit area complete with basic camp kitchen for those wanting to cook over open flames. Upstairs in the loft, rest easy in one of the four plush bedrooms with exposed timber beams. Three bedrooms offer queen beds, while the fourth bedroom has two singles. The master features a canopy bed draped with luxurious netting. Towels and linen are provided for your stay. There is also a lounge area upstairs to unwind. There is one generously sized bathroom inside with a clawfoot bathtub, separate shower, and toilet, plus a second toilet with sink located in the laundry. Provided are picnic baskets, rugs, and a property map to explore all adventurous spots of the Ranch. Please note, Starlink WiFi is only accessible from the house and there is no phone reception on-site—WiFi calling works through the house connection. As it’s a basic satellite service, streaming isn’t reliable, so we recommend downloading shows or movies beforehand and embracing a digital detox. No motorbikes, quads or dirt bikes to be ridden on our property, out of respect for our neighbours, animals and insurance purposes.

River Ranch is located Sydney side of Mudgee, in a tranquil and quiet setting. You will drive approximately 5 minutes of dirt road before arriving at The Ranch. When you aren’t out enjoying the rolling hills and wildlife such as wombats, kangaroos and stunning range of birds, book a wine tour and travel to some of Mudgee’s best cellars including the nearby Skimstone and Logan Wines. If you’re up for a short drive, check out Mudgee Museum & Historical Society bursting with early artefacts on a wide variety of subjects or taste test some honey and shop a selection of products at Mudgee Honey Haven.
