Lovely garden

The cottage was clean, comfortable and warm. Enjoyed the fire. The dogs had fun in the garden and we enjoyed the many different birds that visited, around 20 different species. Would particularly recommend the Holtermann museum for a visit, excellent digital tech and a reminder that Mayne Street Gulgong was Australia’s busiest thoroughfare at the height of the gold rush.

Cosy Cottage

We had a very pleasant stay and so did our furry friend. Loved the bottle of wine left for us, it went very well with the cheese and olives we picked up at the different places we visited near by. The cottage was very warm and clean and the fireplace was just lovely on the cool evenings. Would definitely love to stay again.

Beautifully Vintage

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. Its even more beautiful in person. The decor is very tasteful in a vintage style. It was well stocked with cutlery crockery and even some pantry items. We enjoyed the outside bbq and i felt comfortable to have our dog roam the fenced in yard. Gulgong itself is straight out of the old days with little shops and well maintained historic buildings. Truly a great stay.

Delightfully quaint

So gorgeous to be in an original Gold Rush Cottage that has been brought to life with thoughtful modern day comforts. The owners have done a beautiful job and were easy to communicate with . It was the smartest check in I have ever had. Kitchen has everything you need, all good quality as well as olive oil, S&P etc to help you cook up a masterpiece. Several outdoor areas to sit and read, eat or have a drink as the sun goes down. Easy walk into town to explore. Fenced in so our dog couldn't escape. The whole family loved the property.

Wonderful stay very quiet location

What a absolute beautiful original cottage that has been renovated with all the mod cons that you would need. The mattresses are incredible, they are super comfortable very clean best I’ve ever slept on. The yard for your dogs is fully fenced huge block. Just a few spot we had to put so firewood to stop my very very little tiny toy poodle from getting out. You couldn’t ask for anything more plenty of breakfast things to eat, milk, loads of firewood. The home is spotlessly clean. Wood fire, plus central heating and aircon. The little town and the residents are so lovely and kind. Very happy with our stay!!!!

Beauiful cottage

We had the most wonderful stay at Cooney's Cottage in Gulgong. A beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings with everything you could possibly need and more. A welcoming bottle of local wine that prompted us to visit the winery. Centrally located. We were able to walk to the shops and pubs and it was only a short drive to Mudgee. We were able to bring our dog and he loved being by the fire. We really enjoyed staying here and can highly recommend this lovely cottage to others. Many thanks to the owners. Karen Lawler

Absolutely adorable authentic cottage

We were very surprised upon entering even though the exterior looked inviting. A delight and expertly restored and extended. Beautiful bathroom and kitchen perfect. A little table and chairs in kitchen instead of island bench would be even better. Very tastefully decorated also . Fire so warm, outdoors perfect for dog, we loved it. We had to leave early so didn’t get to see much of town but it looked very cute. Thankyou
