Mudgee Monday | wellness itinerary
With your hectic schedule, demanding jobs, family commitments & lack of free time, you deserve a wellness-themed weekend away. But in the Mudgee region, a two-night stay is simply not enough. That’s why we’re big fans of the Mudgee Monday & the chance to extend your weekend to soak up even more of the good stuff over three luxurious days.
Whether you’re flying solo or planning a wholesome escape with your faves, we’ve got you covered…
Friday
Cruise into Mudgee in the afternoon to arrive at your Bliss Stay, sans stress. Book your stay somewhere that shares your wellness interests, like Moonlight with its in-house sauna, spa and pool, The Birdhouse or Red Lotus Retreat, with eco vibes and fairy-lit outdoor bath, or River Stone to soak in nature from every angle.
Pre-order a fresh, local hamper from Bliss Bites to ease into your weekend without worrying what’s for dinner!
Saturday
Kick off your morning with a private, in-house yoga session with Hannah from Good Culture Club yoga studio in Mudgee. After an hour of mindful movement, it’s time for some pampering! Book a massage or facial at Ultimate Care or Therapy by Krystal (two of the few spots open on Saturdays!) to truly unwind from the week.
Pop into local book store, The Book Nest, to find your next holiday read, along with an assortment of tea options to pair perfectly with your relaxed reading session. We love Ilkley House, Mygoura Cottage, The Gully, and The Cottage on Lawson for the ultimate cosy reading nooks.
Give yourself permission to sink into an afternoon of nothing, locking in the in-house catering services of Olive.a.Twist, so you can switch off & let someone else take care of a delicious, nourishing dinner.
Sunday
Wake up at a leisurely pace, before heading off on an outdoor adventure. Mudgee is packed with options for a brush with nature, so choose from local walks like The Drip, Ferntree Gully, or for a slightly more elevated session, the Castle Rocks walk.
Finish the fitness session with a visit to Sense of Solis, where Bliss guests score a sneaky discount on their sauna & ice bath experience. If you’re craving a little more heat and invigoration, book a private hot pilates or breakthrough breathwork session with Breath.Body.Balance at Sense of Solis.
Lunch is an organic & biodynamic feast at The Zin House, located on the Lowe Family Wine farm, where most of the fresh produce used in their tasty plates is grown just metres from the dining table you’ll be seated at.
Fall into a relaxing post-lunch nap, and if you’re seeking a little more food or entertainment, head to Gigi’s for wood-fired pizzas, handmade pastas & authentic Italian meals.
Monday
Prep for check-out, then take a stroll down Mudgee’s main streets where you can snag a relaxed brunch date at cafes like Eltons, Millbrie & Alby + Esther’s. Take the scenic route home with a drive through Rylstone, enjoying a pit stop at their vintage-style stores & yum cha restaurant, letting the stress melt off your shoulders.
Until next time, when self-care calls you back…
