- Geoffrey (8/5): A lovely quiet and peaceful country getaway on the fringe of Gulgong. - A lovely quiet and peaceful country getaway on the fringe of Gulgong.
Lovely comfy beds, and amenities. Pool looked lovely and property animals. There was no oven. And tv dvd/recorder until wasn’t working.
Jiffy firefighters and working lighter would be helpful to help start the fire.
- Johannes (9/5): - Beautiful location, quiet environment. Nothing
- Melissa (10/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): - Comfortable and spacious property with amazing views. Well equipped kitchen. Nothing
- Rosylea (10/5): Fabulous accommodation, pool and grounds. We look forward to visiting again. - Room was a great size for our family and kitchen had everything we needed. The pool and grounds were beautiful and peaceful. Air con worked but it was not reaching the bedroom so bedroom was a little hot but it was 38 degrees outside
- Georgie (10/5): -
- Simmons (10/5): -
- Sunny (9/5): -
- Piet (3/5): Poor. - The location was good. Did not get the room I asked for which was a confirmed and prior paid booking. The changed room did not have the requesite bedding. It was specifically requested for a queen double and a king single but was unilaterally moved without prior notification to a room with a double bed and a trundle single. The pull out sofa bed was filthy and unuseable. There were cockroaches and a dead mouse in the laundry. The A/C was insufficient and excessively noisy. Remnants of open milk cartons were in the fridge.

- Mo (10/5): Laidback farmstay, clean and modern. - A relaxing farm stay with a pool - super laid back and friendly animals to keep you company!
- Catriona (9/5): Country Tranquility with character - The views were just spectacular. We loved sitting outside in the morning, hearing only the birds and spotting the Kangaroos. After exploring the local area in the day, the pool was a welcome relief come late afternoon before heading out for dinner. This is an older lodge, which we were expecting - so you should expect some rustic charm.
- Shellee (10/5): - Secluded and comfortable
- Amruta (9/5): - Great location with amazing views. Beautiful sunset and night sky views. Quiet location..Everything needed in a house was available.

- Swanniejenn (10/5): Sunset at Owl Head Lodge - Fabulous large cottage with very high ceilings and lots of space. It is very quiet, on a property a few minutes drive from Gulgong. Full kitchen, with everything we needed. Coffee machine, with generous number of pods. Internet is Starlink - very good. Two spacious bedrooms. Huge bathroom, with a washing machine as well. Lounge & dining plenty of seats and lounges. I loved the cattle grazing on next doors property, that came to the fence one night, the 2nd night a lot of goats came. Third night no animals, but an amazing sunset, because of the clouds. Highly recommend this accommodation. Thank you .
- Helen (10/5): - Views and amazing appartment No breakfast bowls
- Rachael (10/5): -
- Louise (10/5): - Loved the architecture with big picture windows to take in all that beautiful, amazing view. Nothing to listen to but sheep bleating, cows mooing in the distance and birds chirping, oh such serenity! Highly recommend if that's what you're after.
- Cherie (10/5): -
- Wayne (9/5): We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the cleanliness and quiet surroundings, a perfect getaway! - So peaceful and comfortable 😊 the location is so quiet The television is small and positioned more for watching in bed, rather than being viewed comfortably from the couch.
- Hugh (7/5): Fix the road and I might come again. - View. Facilities. Shower. Maintenance on doors. Bird poop all over outdoor dining furniture. The road and driveway in are a disgrace. No excuses.
- Bradley (10/5): -
- Elysia (10/5): Fantastic, would definitely stay again - Was perfect, plenty of room, all the amenities we needed. We have travelled all over nsw and stayed in many places whilst travelling for kids sport and Owl Head is definitely one of our top favourites and would look to stay again.
I would even take a girls trip out and spend a few days just hanging at the property.
The fire pit was perfect for roasting marshmallows on our last night.
- Karen (9/5): -
- Boyd (10/5): -
- Lyn (10/5): -
- Kerry (10/5): Charming and peaceful property but close to Gulgong and Mudgee area - Location, design of the cabins - fabulous views, well equipped
- Lee (10/5): - Beautiful place
Perfect retreat
Road was a bit rough going in but took it slow and it’s fine
- francesorr (10/5): Owl Head Lodge, a place of comfort, peace and serenity that you will never want to leave - The glass house complex is uniquely amazing. The main glass cottage has a luxury bedroom with bathroom including bath, a central log fire, large kitchen and butlers pantry. The east and west units are also stand alone with a complete separate compact kitchen in each and their own bathroom with a view🤣.
All three have Breakfast sachets, condiments, juice in the fridge, a pod coffee machine with plenty of pods plus a bar-b-cue. They can be booked individually or together.
Outside are lounges, big table, smaller intimate table and chairs, a pool for summer and a view to make one never want to leave.
There is also other separate accommodation nearby but all very private but close enough to be combined for a bigger group…….see online.
At night the Milky Way is just brilliant.
Gulgong is a quaint town a few kms away and has an extensive museum that will surprise you and you will need quite some time to see it all. Mudgee is 20 mins south.
The peace and beauty of Owl Head Lodge is a place I will return to again and again.
- qi (10/5): Overall fantastic experience - cozy and fancy The bath shower cannot pull down. Not handy.
- Michele (8/5): A beautiful setting. - Our grandson really enjoyed the different animals and spent some time with them. The amenities were very good and provided bathroom towels and products were excellent. We were there in July and the air-conditioning did not work. The room was freezing. There was a small oil heater which was not enough to make it comfortable.
- Saipaia (10/5): Beautiful farm/location. Enjoyed our short stay will definitely be back and would highly recommend it! - The beautiful scenery and location,how easy it was to book and how smooth it was to check in/out. The area we stayed in was very clean, and plenty of space for my little family. The location is on a massive farm which was amazing.
- Mark (8/5): Great location and view, great shower, love the architecture - Great view, lovely rustic design Could do with a dining table and chairs
- Tessa (10/5): Exceptional - Location was amazing. Loved the scenery and wide open sky. Kangaroos around and cute farm animals such as Angus cattle.
Weather was extremely cold, although sunny, with bitter winds and the room was wonderful to sit in, looking out at the gorgeous views. Nothing. All lovely.
- Otree (10/5): needed a quiet break and got one - view was amazing and the quiet was so good. property was amazing and the wildlife were turning up often kitchen tight to work in but very doable
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (10/5): Perfect. A little touch of paradise! - Everything. Location and facilities. Amazing!
- Michelle (10/5): A perfect peaceful break away from it all. - The property is fabulous. So relaxing and peaceful. We like every aspect of it. This was our 3rd stay and we will be back
- Lmb (10/5): Another fabulous stay - Been before - always a very peaceful stay. Quiet, beautiful, rural. Recharged the batteries. Highly recommended. Showing a bit of wear and tear, but not a serious issue.
- Jacqui (9/5): Wonderful property with gorgeous views - I liked the spaced out accommodation so everyone wasn’t on top of each other. The property with the cows and goats is gorgeous. In the smaller rooms where the rest of my family stayed, they could have been cleaner. Cobwebs and dust around the room. And we couldn’t find a sensor outside light for the furtherest room.
- Jo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Birgit (8/5): Very good -
- Warwick (10/5): A perfect spot to simply get away - It is beautiful. The scenery, the lodge, the slow combustion stove, the linen and towels, the lounges … all brilliant
- Erephily (10/5): Exceptional - The iview is incredible!!!
The glass wall studio apartment outpaasssd my expectations !!!

- Hansen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shaun (10/5): Picture perfect with all creature comforts … and adorable creatures! - Love the glass cottage, uninterrupted views. Beautiful bathroom and handy to have washer/dryer. We were all taken with the friendly farm animals - feeding them was a treat!
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Beautiful view, peaceful and calming. The hosts obviously thought about the little things with complementary Cereal and juice for breakfast. Easy check in and out.
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional - It was just amazing. Quiet. Accessible. Immaculate facilities.
Nothing to fault
- David (9/5): Quiet and Peaceful stay - It was lovely, quiet and very peaceful. The country view is pleasant.

- Jerome (9/5): Superb -
- Mitch (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (10/5): A peaceful change of pace - I loved how picturesque the view was, being able to peacefully sit out side for breakfast each morning was a highlight
- Caroline (10/5): Peaceful and relaxing! - Location and views are absolutely amazing. We stayed in Glass Studio West, and it had everything we needed. The glass windows from top to bottom on both sides gave it a special touch. A very short stroll to the amazing pool and the firepit where you could also watch the beautiful sunrise. It's such a perfect spot if you wish to relax and get away from your busy lifestyle. It's definitely worth the stay, and I hope to be back!
- Cathy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jenny (10/5): Tranquil short stay at the unique Glass Cottage - We had forgotten what 'quiet's sounded like. It was so tranquil and the panoramic view changed as the day progressed with sunset being extra special.
- Bala (10/5): Exceptional -
- Liselotte (7/5): Amazing view and nice space but not clean and a lot of bugs - The cottage is very spacious and the outside view is great. Good bathroom and large kitchen. Great seating options outside. Aircon in the bedroom works really well. When we arrived there were dozens of dead and alive bugs and cockroaches all around, breadcrumbs under the table and spiderwebs around the furniture. It looked like it wasn’t cleaned well. We took the vacuum which is very old and works poorly and cleaned the dead bugs before we unpacked. This was not a nice start to our stay. The bed is very small (while there is plenty of space for a big bed) and one door to the outside area doesn’t open.
- Gerhard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brittany (9/5): Beautiful Accommodation, Stunning Location - Beautiful location, lovely home!
A great place to getaway! Excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities. We loved the visits from the goats in the back paddock and watching the sunrise and sunset from our back verandah. The bed was very uncomfortable and there were only very low pillows. I had to go and buy a pillow as I had such a sore neck the next morning.
There were also bugs crawling around the house, perhaps a pest spray is needed.
Not much privacy for couples in the Glass cottage.
- Bulg-mcevoy (10/5): After a long hard day working out in the sun with the heat, it was just a perfect spot to come home to Home away from ho - Tranquility beauty comfort N/a
- Michael (10/5): Beautiful property - Everything
- Annette (9/5): Serene country stay - Self contained, modern, lovely country views. Pump that kept activating.
- Helen (8/5): Very good -
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- maryrB2570MD (10/5): What an amazing place to stay! - Every year we (as a group of 8 friends from school) go away for a 4 day weekend. This year we had the privilege of all coming home to Gulgong, to stay at Owl Head Lodge.
Rob was so easy to deal with via phone & email & the place is just amazing. We had the Glass Cottage, the 2 Glass Studio's East & West & the Shearers Quarters West. We were welcomed with a bottle of Red, & settled in for our stay.
The rooms are so beautifully presented, the Cottage had everything you could possibly need & all within a 5 min drive to town. With such a spectacular view, you could easily waste away a day just relaxing at Owl Head.
When it's Gulgong's time again, we'll absolutely be back!
- Jeanna (9/5): Fantastic hidden gem - I can’t believe this hidden gem. I have driven past so many times on my way to wagga and never knew of its existence. Will 1000% be staying again The larger accomodation for families in right at the top of the drive, no biggie but if you wanted to
Use pool facilities you might have to drive down. It was teaming with rain for us so we didn’t miss it
- David (10/5): One of the most tranquil and beautiful places I have ever stayed in. Our next stay will be longer - An amazing property in an absolute stunning location. Full self catering so make sure you bring supplies. You get your own bbq plus there is a place to make your own pizzas There was nothing we did not like.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Judith (10/5): Luxury Rural Retreat - The rural location was lovely. We had a surprise upgrade to a beautiful cottage. Lots of places to sit outside with a glass of wine and enjoy the views. Nothing! Not sure if it would be so good if the property were full of noisy people. A large part of its charm was the tranquillity.
- Lynette (9/5): Fabulous country stay, beautiful experience with lovely vista. - I loved being in the country - there were birds in the garden, gorgeous Highland cattle and goats in nearby paddocks - it was a lovely country experience - the glass walls were a bonus. Just didn’t realise there was a dirt road to the property - not sure if I missed that info - was fine weather - not wet - so all good.
But it was worth the effort - we have stayed before but did not remember the dirt road.
- Lmb (10/5): Another gorgeous stay - I've stayed here twice before. Love the rural setting, peaceful atmosphere, and expansive views. Also appreciate the architectural design of the glass cottage. Gorgeous place. Studio kitchen starting to show a bit of wear, but not an issue for me.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
- Yvonne (10/5): ultimate holiday stay - well beyond our expectation. This place was absolutely amazing. Just wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back and telling all our friends. That we could not stay longer.

- Kirsten (10/5): Exceptional -
- Grant (10/5): Exceptional -
- Reynolds (10/5): Excellent stay at the OWL Head Lodge - Owl head Lodge was wonderful. We will return. Very good value. There was nothing that we did not like
- Julie (9/5): We had a nice time. Too bad it was so windy! - The property is in a great location. Central to Wellington and Mudgee and of course Gulgong! There were a lot of pot holes along the driveway.
- Beth (7/5): Good - Really great and well furnished, but the cutlery was terrible.
- Vagabond_World (10/5): Amazing! - It’s a Fantastic and amazing place. Views are stunning, everything thing is impeccable and comfortable. I stayed because I had to go to the area for business, but I will be returning with the family to enjoy it with them. Rob is very friendly and helpful.
