If a slow stay is on your horizon, the Mudgee Region has a brand-new treat for you. Piambong Tops, an architect-designed cabin unveiled its doors in July 2024. Let’s take a peek inside Mudgee’s newest luxurious retreat.
With its seemingly endless rolling hills, roaming kangaroos, and breathtaking vistas, Mudgee is practically made for taking time out from the daily hustle and bustle. And what better way to switch off than in a secluded cabin, complete with uninterrupted views of the countryside?
This growing trend in the tourism industry proves that while Tiny Homes may be small, their popularity is anything but. Mudgee’s latest addition, Piambong Tops, has been designed and constructed by the award-winning Base Cabin – and it certainly shows. Bookings officially opened in July 2024 and our hunch is that you’ll want to book soon.
Perched on a rural hilltop in the locality of Piambong (pronounced ‘P-eye-ambong’), Piambong Tops is an easy 20-minute drive from both Gulgong and Mudgee and a three-hour drive from Sydney. You’ll feel a strong sense of seclusion on the 32-acre property – enough to feel alone among the wide-open star-studded sky – yet close enough to savour the delights of the region’s rural towns and villages.
The owners carefully selected the award-winning company Base Cabin to design and build Piambong Tops. Known for its impressive range of small spaces and philosophy of doing more with less, this cabin is set to sit among Mudgee’s finest.
Every millimetre of this architecturally designed home has been thoughtfully utilised by the team at Base Cabin and Lauren Eagan Interiors. Drawing inspiration from the practical and rugged design of original Australian shearer's quarters, Piambong Tops is right at home in the Australian bush. Inside, you’ll find a full bathroom and kitchenette, a queen bedroom fitted with luxe linen sheets, and a living room meets a second bedroom.
Each element, from the Australian-made Brodware nickel tapware to the Laminex paperbark cabinetry and Fibonacci Italian terrazzo benchtops, adds to the rugged yet luxurious aesthetic of the cabin. The main rooms at each end feature full-height, open-pitched ceilings, enhancing the sense of spaciousness and framing the dramatic views beyond. The floor-to-ceiling windows serve as a magnifying glass to the horizon, drawing the landscape into the living space. With double glazing, they create a cosy cocoon-like atmosphere during the winter months, blending openness with warmth.
As you drive up the steep, rocky entrance framed by gnarly gum trees, you’ll start to sense the seclusion and the breathtaking views that await at Piambong Tops. And then you’ll see it: a scene worthy of a painting, defined by ridges, valleys, and gum trees.
Cosy up by the window with a glass of red wine, stretch out during a private yoga class with Good Culture Club on your deck and toast marshmallows under a sky studded with stars. Piambong Tops invites you to embrace presence and disconnect from your everyday routines. Let nature guide you as you reset your senses.
