Owl Head Lodge Gulgong: Country charm meets boutique luxury and just a touch of mischief.
Once upon a time, Owl Head Lodge Gulgong was famous for a very unusual guest: a bronze pig who reportedly took to the pool. True story. It made headlines, sparked laughs, and cemented the lodge’s reputation as a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Fast forward to today, and the pig may have retired (or moved on to greener pastures), but the spirit of playful country luxury is alive and well. Rob and Sarah, the current owners, have transformed Owl Head Lodge into a serene retreat where modern design meets the rolling hills of the beautiful Mudgee region… and every visit feels like a mini celebration.
Owl Head Lodge Gulgong: Your Country Playground
Just 3km from Gulgong and 20 minutes from Mudgee, Owl Head Lodge accommodation for 20 or more serves up sweeping vineyard and paddock views and a weekend that’s truly yours to savour. Whether you’re a couple sneaking off for a romantic escape, a family reuniting for some well-earned chaos, a group of friends plotting a weekend of fun, or planning a rural wedding to remember, the stylish, versatile villas have something for everyone.
There are seven cottages at Owl Head, some of which can be interlinked internally and externally, so there is plenty for room for all, including approved corporate and private groups seeking an exclusive venue for their retreat or event.
As for the kids, there’s space galore, and the pool, while soaking up impossibly fresh country air, while adults can relax, and everyone can leave with stories, laughter, and some great memories.
Wine and Weekends in Gulgong
And then there’s the wine. One of Owl Head Lodge’s standout pleasures? Bespoke tastings delivered straight to your villa by the winemaker. Cheese plates at the ready, nobody behind the wheel – this is how weekends were made to be enjoyed.
Weddings, Celebrations, and Memories in the Making
Rob and Sarah also love hosting weddings. From intimate elopements to full rural gatherings, Owl Head Lodge provides a stunning venue and luxurious accommodation to match. Vows on the lawn with golden light spilling across the hills, clinking glasses, and a weekend of memory-making makes for a perfect celebration.
Everything here feels personal, relaxed, and utterly Australian.
