About

Overview & Vibe

Riverlea Retreat is a five-bedroom house on 25 private acres in the pine hills above the Cudgegong River, fifteen minutes from Mudgee. It is a whole-property elopement venue rather than a function centre: you book the house, and the wedding is simply what you do while you are there.

Setting & Style

The ceremony happens on the lawn — the venue’s own photographs show the homestead strung with festoon lights above it at dusk, a deep green run of grass edged with garden beds and the ranges behind. Elsewhere on the property there is a three-tier mineral pool cut into the hillside, a sunken fire-pit deck, a freestanding outdoor bath on the deck facing the valley, and private frontage to a bend of the Cudgegong.

Ideal For

Couples marrying at a scale most venues will not quote for — up to 35 for the ceremony, ten staying the night — who want the whole place to themselves and are happy to bring in their own caterer. Logan Wines and Skimstone are minutes away, so a cellar-door lunch is an easy addition.

The Need-to-Knows

Nothing here is catered and nothing is packaged. The house is fully self-contained — kitchen, BBQ, communal table — and every supplier is yours to arrange. The wedding itself is free; the accommodation is what you pay for, at $900 a night Sunday to Thursday and $1,250 Friday, Saturday and public holidays, with a three-night minimum for special events and a $300 refundable bond. There is no wet-weather ceremony space published, and the property is unfenced.

Standout Feature

The pricing honesty. “Wedding bookings come at no extra cost.” For a couple of 35, that single sentence removes the per-head maths entirely — the venue charges for beds, not for the occasion.

On Site Accommodation

Price Notes

The wedding is free, the house is not: "Wedding bookings come at no extra cost" — the charge is the nightly accommodation tariff
Nightly rates: $900 Sunday-Thursday; $1,250 Friday, Saturday and public holidays
Automatic discounts: 3 nights 5%, 4-6 nights 10%, 7 nights or more 15%
Minimum stay is 2 nights, and "special events min stay is 3 nights" — a wedding booking is therefore a three-night booking
A $300 security deposit applies to all bookings, refunded in full 5-10 days after check out
No catering and no packages — the house is self-contained; couples arrange their own suppliers
SLEEPS 10 across a 3-bedroom main house and a 2-bedroom cottage: 5 bedrooms, 6 beds, 4 bathrooms
Check in after 3pm, check out 10am; early check-in and late check-out on request subject to availability
PET FRIENDLY at $120 for the pet-stay deep clean; pets are not allowed on furniture, beds or in bedrooms, and the venue warns of "a lack of fencing"
NSW Seniors Card holders receive a 10% discount if the cardholder is the person booking, paying and staying
Separate off-grid stays on the same 25-acre property: an off-grid caravan for two at $250 per night and a riverside campsite at $70 per night, booked directly rather than through a platform
Booking is direct through the venue's own calendar with card payment, and photo ID is requested after booking.
