Australia’s First Rest Rebate
Be antisocial. Together.
The Weekend Pause — three nights at Wandarra Homestead, with the third night on us.
A $850 Rest Rebate, applied at checkout.
Stay a little longer. We’ll reward you for it.
More than a third of Australians feel overwhelmed by everyday life. Digital overload and decision fatigue make it harder than ever to properly switch off — and most of us won’t take the time unless there’s a reason to.
So the Mudgee Region is giving you one. Stay a little longer at Wandarra Homestead — be antisocial, together — and we’ll reward you for it. Swap screen time for good times with the people who matter most.
Here’s the thing about rest: it only works if you give it enough time to land. Two nights is barely a weekend — by Sunday lunch you’re already mentally driving home. Three nights changes the rhythm. That’s why the Rest Rebate is built around the third night.
Why three nights changes everything:
Three nights, not two
Two nights is barely a pause — by Sunday lunch you’re already packing up in your head. The third night is where it changes. By the second morning, the to-do list has loosened its grip.
The whole place, just yours
Twenty-five private acres, the homestead to yourselves, no other guests and no shared spaces. Privacy is the part that makes the rest real.
$850 back, no strings
The Rest Rebate comes off at checkout when you apply your Rebate Code. No claim, no form, no fine print — just the third night, on us.

Twenty-five acres, and nothing you have to do
Wandarra sits on twenty-five private acres in the Mudgee wine country — a homestead with a wide verandah, a firepit that earns its keep after dark, and the kind of quiet that lets you hear the wind through the gums. For three nights it's yours alone. No other guests, no shared spaces, no reception desk. Whether you fill the days or do gloriously little, that part's entirely up to you.
WITHIN EASY REACH
Mudgee's cellar doors and long-lunch tables, a short drive away
Fern Tree Gully — a gentle walk about 20 minutes from the gate
Dark, unlit skies made for proper stargazing
Quiet corners ideal for slowing down — bring a paperback
Be antisocial. Together.
There’s a version of a weekend away where you check email on the drive home, scroll from the bath, and answer one quick work question over dinner. This isn’t that weekend.
Three nights. The whole property. No other guests, no shared spaces, no schedule to keep. Just the people you came with, the long view from the verandah, and the kind of quiet that takes a full day to properly arrive.
Get off the group chat. Out of the inbox. Into the company of the people who matter most.
What are you waiting for?
Don’t just take our word for it...
Guests tell us the same thing: they came to get away, and ended up not wanting to leave.
"What a beautifully designed home and property. Having Mudgee town and wineries so close by was really convenient too. We really enjoyed having a wine on the wraparound porch with the big sunsets filling the sky and wildlife around. Highly recommend for a girls getaway or a family trip."
"My friends and I spent a beautiful weekend at this estate. The house was stunning and had amazing amenities. Beautiful views & the host was incredible, she helped us out with questions throughout the weekend."
"Enjoyed sitting with a cup of tea in the morning on the wrap around deck and soaking in the view and morning sun. Great location to explore the Mudgee region and some local wineries! A truly perfect spot for a relaxing weekend away! Highly recommended for a fab group getaway & look forward to returning!"
