Like a local

If you feel the need to venture beyond the bounds of this little oasis, there is plenty to discover both in town and beyond.

For the latest, we recommend asking our reception staff, checking out our blog, or alternatively What’s On Mudgee is a fantastic resource that always stays up to date.

Friends of The Clairfield

There’s something we’ve always believed, that a stay should extend beyond our walls. The Clairfield is only ever part of the story. The rest is found out there and the best way to experience Mudgee is through the people who shape it.

These are some of the places we return to, recommend and feel proud to call our neighbours. From winemakers and growers to artists, guides and hosts, these are the locals we love introducing our guests to. Each one shares the same spirit we do: proud of this region.

A gentle guide, should you feel like exploring.
