THE POSITIVES ABOUT A TAHOMA STAY

1. It's private and you will really get the feel for being in the country, yet close to town and wineries.

2. It has a fire-pit and combustion fire.

3. Rustic feels, tasteful design, clean yet not sterile, its not so prissy you can't relax.

4. Quiet and pitch black at night.

5. Value. Tahoma offers the best value for what it is in the Mudgee region without a doubt.

THE NEGATIVES OF A TAHOMA STAY

1. There is a dirt access road, it can be a little bumpy. There is a steep hill to drive up to the cottage. "Highly nervous" drivers might like to choose a different place.

2. It's a home, not a hotel, so even though its thoroughly cleaned, it is definitely not going to have that hotel feel. If you are OCD this is probably not the place for you.

3. Tahoma only has one bathroom and one toilet, most larger groups find this ok ( up to 8 can come) but it is something to consider.

We have endeavored to give the space county living good feels.

Other things to note : Firewood: Firewood is not supplied for the indoor combustion fire or outdoor fire pit. Firewood and kindling are readily available for purchase from Bunnings, service stations, and other local retailers in Mudgee. Guests are also welcome to collect fallen branches from around the property for use in the fire pit.

Dogs: Dogs are welcome at Tahoma; however, please note that the property does not have dog-proof fencing. For the safety and wellbeing of your pet, the protection of native wildlife, and consideration of neighbouring livestock, dogs must be kept on a leash whenever they are outside.

Great accommodating host, who provides for our ( and 2 french Bulldogs) every need! And a fantastic quiet 'hideaway' to read, wine and cheese at sunset, or to tour the area from. Comfy, clean andwell appointed

Very pet friendly, quiet nestled in the hills, hideaway property. Clean property with a host who takes pride in ensuring privacy. Unwind reading a book with coffee overlooking the valley, or snuggling in front of the wood heater fire in winter with a wine, it meets all your needs.

We had a fantastic stay. The beautiful scenery , the peacefulness and the comfortable cottage all made for a relaxing and well needed getaway. We loved the fire pit location, the wildlife and exploring the trails etc. We will definitely be back. Thanks Janene for being a great host.
