Sierra Escape

Top choice in New South Wales


Three Australian-made luxury tents sit atop 280 acres of rolling hills and valleys. The canvas walls may be thin, but the only sounds you'll hear are birds, kangaroos and the occasional sheep bleating its heart out. Mudgee's first and only glamping experience will change your thoughts on camping forever.
