Some places make you pick a side: hotel or nature, indulgence or adventure, work or play. Not Parklands Resort. Set on 30 acres of landscaped gardens, this is Mudgee’s largest resort-style accommodation, where 70 modern light-filled rooms and suites overlook manicured gardens and enveloping farmlands. Drive past and you’ll spot the resort’s brand-new Mudgee Retreats: safari-style glamping tents designed to bring you closer to nature, without sacrificing luxury. Think four-poster king beds, ensuites, and private decks made for sunset wine sessions. Add in resort-style amenities and a prime location for wining and dining, and you’ve got Parklands Resort.

Modern rooms with a view

Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a work trip that doesn’t feel like one, Parklands Resort has a room for you. Choose from modern suites and rooms including superior suites, family suites, studio suites and two-bedroom suites; each fitted with king-sized beds, modern dining areas and equipped kitchenettes. The two-bedroom apartments go a step further, with a full kitchen with an oven, fridge, dishwasher and in-room laundry facilities. All rooms are decked out with boutique-style furnishings, think sleek brown leather sofas and warm country-style decor, and sliding doors that flow onto a private verandah; perfect for soaking up Mudgee’s fresh air and calming countryside.

Introducing Mudgee Retreats

A new 2024 addition, the Mudgee Retreats offers a luxury glamping experience that puts nature front and centre. These brand-new safari-style tents come with four-poster king beds, modern ensuites, air-conditioning, a stocked minibar, and a private deck. “We wanted to offer guests an immersive nature experience without compromising on luxury,” says Marketing Director, Rebecca Ward.

And because no one should have to leave their best mate behind, the Mudgee Retreats are pet-friendly, so your four-legged travel companion can enjoy the experience, too.

More than a place to stay

Parklands is more than just a place to rest your head. Days here start with a slow morning coffee on your verandah and end with a long soak in the heated indoor pool, spa, or sauna. In between? Try your hand on the tennis court, a round of frisbee golf with the kids, or stretch out on the lawns and soak up Mudgee’s crisp country air.

When your bellies begin to rumble, the Vine Restaurant serves modern Australian cuisine, with local produce highlighted throughout the seasonally changing menu. Mudgee’s artisanal treats are on your doorstep, too. Wander over High Valley Cheese to lock lips with Mudgee’s famed cheeses, or sit down for a wine tasting and a long lunch at The Cellar by Gilbert. Sitting on the region’s wine trail and just minutes from Mudgee’s town centre, the hardest decision you’ll face at Parklands is where to go first.

Parklands Resort is also Mudgee’s premier venue for events and conferences, with the largest event facilities in the Central West. With five versatile, multi-purpose event spaces, the resort caters to everything from corporate seminars and team-building retreats to weddings and private celebrations.

“At Parklands Resort, we believe in creating unforgettable experiences that harmoniously blend luxury, nature, and the rich local culture of Mudgee,” says Rebecca.
