Heritage Soul, Contemporary Charm

Set on 25 acres between Mudgee and Rylstone, Wandarra Homestead is where design and nostalgia dance. Revived by sisters Angela and Jodie Harber, this 1980s country home now hums with laid-back luxury — earthy interiors, wide verandahs, and views that change with every hour. Beneath it lies “Grandma’s Tipsy,” a hidden speakeasy bar named for their 101-year-old grandmother, proving that fun never goes out of style. Four generous bedrooms make it ideal for gatherings, while private wine tastings, in-house massages, and long-table dinners elevate each stay. Outside, the firepit glows beneath enormous skies; kangaroos graze at sunrise. When you’re ready to explore, cellar doors, national parks, and long lunches await nearby. Wandarra Homestead isn’t just a stay — it’s an experience in connection, storytelling, and country warmth.
