NSW’s Favourite Bush Retreat for Family Retreats and Romantic Getaways

Retreats along the Great Dividing Range at Mudgee

Perched high on the Great Dividing Range, Ruwenzori boasts sweeping views and is surrounded by 25 hectares of native bush, offering absolute peace and privacy. Living and sleeping in converted 100-year-old railway carriages – decorated in Orient Express style luxury – guests are provided with self-contained accommodation for up to 13 people, configured to suit couples, families or groups of friends in complete privacy.

Spend your days relaxing, reading a book in the hammock or sipping wine on the veranda, gazing out at this truly magical place. Or head down to have fun in the Station Museum games room and marvel at the incredible collection of memorabilia. Or get out and explore the bush trails where granite boulders rise high above a wide variety of flora and an abundance of wildlife.

Take a wine tour, enjoy dinner in one of Mudgee’s quality restaurants or better still, have an exclusive, privately catered dinner, indoors or out on site at the trains.

At Ruwenzori, the choice is yours!

“We had a great time here! The photos online don’t do Ruwenzori justice. There’s so much to see and do here; we spent much of our time examining the many artefacts and studying the details of the state car. Will be back – with friends!”
Harlan and Jess
