SLOW STAYS

Cradled within the wine and food bowl of Mudgee (a three-and-a-half hour drive from Sydney) and surrounded by nature, Evamor Valley is luxury eco glamping at its finest. Three tents, named Merindah, Karri and Cardina, are cleverly placed to take in the best of this 32-hectare farm, surrounded by towering eucalypts with views over the dam. Inside your tent, you’ll find every comfort imaginable from the locally sourced furniture, coffee machine and linen robes to the ensuite with its stone sink and Leif body products. Lace up your boots and grab the walking trail map to explore your way towards the natural billabong and Cudgegong River, the rusty relics, which stand as a reminder of Mudgee’s history, and the large River Red gums, including one believed to have been used as a smoking tree by the local Wiradjuri people. After roaming Mudgee’s wineries and gourmet producers, lay out a rug for a picnic on the jetty and light the fire pit as the day begins to fade. Look up to the glorious view of the starry night sky and feel like you’re a million miles away from the world. And with no TV or WiFi, you can truly disconnect here and rediscover nature’s soundtrack. Private in-tent wine tasting experiences and grazing boxes can also be arranged.
