The perfect country cottage
Merala is perfectly situated close to town and gorgeous walks. We could not have wished for a better place to stay. The cottage is comfortable, well appointed and immaculate.

Exceeded expectations and perfect location
Beryl went above and beyond in her communication and hospitality, including additional touches such as toys for my kids to enjoy, a portacot set up with a baby towel, coffee capsules and pantry/fridge items. It’s a lovely country home with a cozy fireplace, and super close to town.

About the host

Hosted by Beryl Newman

Host profile image
Hi,
My name is Beryl and I have lived and worked in Mudgee for many years. I live on a farm 25km from Mudgee where we run sheep and cattle. I have an interest in the history of Mudgee and also enjoy the increased opportunities that the town provides with the growth of craft industries and the food and wine industry. Merala provides an opportunity for me to promote our town and encourage visitors to experience all that Mudgee has to offer.

Why they chose this property

I have always loved the heritage cottages of Mudgee and purchased Merala in 1990. Recently, the property has been refurbished and updated for short term holiday accommodation. Being in Mudgee's heritage zone means that Merala is close to everything the town has to offer and my cosy cottage provides a heritage feel with modern amenities.

What makes this property unique

Being in the heritage zone of Mudgee means that you can leave the car behind and walk to shops, restaurants and markets, The recently refurbished Paragon Hotel has a great outdoor dining space for adults and children, while many other pubs and restaurants are a short walk from Merala. Our cottage caters for children with a range of books and puzzles whilst being close to parks, tennis courts, Mudgee pool (in summer) and other sporting venues. I invite you to take advantage of all that Mudgee has to offer from our centrally located cottage.
