Notes from the host
Fairbairn Cottage
Set in a quiet, tree-lined street moments to Mudgee Golf Course, Fairbairn Cottage is a bright and fresh hideaway with modern interiors and touches of its original 1950s charm. Experience the best of country-living with friends and family combined with the convenience of being a two-minute drive to town. The cottage offers four bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, generous dining and living areas both indoor and out as well as a BBQ and a fire pit within an expansive pet-friendly backyard.
Fairbairn Cottage takes sociable, country living to heart. Spend your mornings on the Mudgee Golf Course just two blocks away or experience the flavours of Mudgee’s vineyards, with dozens within a ten-minute drive.
The open-plan living features an abundant, cosy space to spread out with leather sofas fronting a flat-screen TV. There is a slow combustion wood fire to keep you warm during the winter months and reverse cycle air conditioning will keep you cool on those hot summer days. The foyer is set up with a dedicated workspace where you can answer calls and emails.
Share your meals at the breakfast bar or at the eight-seater dining table adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen comes fully equipped for preparing meals at home including a spacious 900mm oven, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine, and pantry complete with pots, pans and utensils.
Enjoy entertaining on the large rear deck with outdoor seating for eight and whip up a true Aussie feast on the large Weber gas BBQ. The beautiful peppercorn trees provide wonderful shade for the summer months and a fire pit will keep you snug as the sun sets.
The cottage consists of four bedrooms, all equipped with ceiling fans and electric blankets. You’ll find a plush king bed in the master bedroom, a queen bed in the second and two single beds in both the third and fourth bedrooms. The neat main bathroom has a beautiful free-standing bath and a separate shower, while the second bathroom comes with a shower, toilet, sink, and includes a washing machine. A dryer can be found in the kitchen.
Fancy a local treat or preparing for a Friday night arrival? We offer grazing boxes and breakfast hampers exclusively made for our guests and placed in the fridge before your arrival. Check out these paid add-ons on the Bliss Stays website and just let us know at the time of booking if you’re interested.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourself. Please make yourself at home!
Soak in the vibe of Mudgee starting from wine tasting at boutique 791 Estate which offers amazing grazing platters or Lowe Family Wine Co and dine at its on-site, intimate restaurant, the Zin House. Get one with nature and take the Lawson Park Sculpture Walk for a unique art-centred garden walk or take a day trip to The Drip Gorge especially after a few days of rain, when you’ll see the sandstone walls dripping clear spring water. Dive deeper into the region’s natural beauty with a kayak at Dunns Swamp or with a hot air balloon ride with Balloon Aloft Mudgee.
Line up with the locals at the Dancing Goat Cafe for good coffee, while the Warakirri Dining Experience at Indigiearth offers an unforgettable experience of dining with cultural encounters. Before heading home, shop at High Valley Cheese Co, Mudgee’s own artisanal cheesemaker.
