Living off the grid is the philosophy at Glenayr Farm. I took it to have two meanings; living off the solar power that is the farm stay’s sole source of energy and living disconnected from technology and busyness of life, away from the constant pings, rings and vibrations of notifications. Glenayr Farm is perfect for romantic getaways or group holidays. Staring out at the rolling hills of the quintessential Australian country side will make you think you and the on looking kangaroos who inhabit the property, on the only living things on earth. If you are looking to spend a few days living sustainably off what mother nature gave us and truely unplugged from technology, there is no better place than Glenyar Farm. Glenyar Farm is a family owned 320 working farm with four glamping bell tents and two luxury villas located 25 minute drive outside of Mudgee and a 3.5 hour drive from Sydney. There is no service here (unless you are Telstra) and no wifi which is exactly how the owners intended it to be. Although it seems you are so far from civilisation, Mudgee’s world class wineries, restaurant’s and shops…
Byron Bay, located on the north east of NSW is the epitany of chill and laid back. It is well known for it hippy vibes, surfing paradise, boho boutiques, vegan cafes and a place where shoes are optional. Byron manages to combine the carefree finesse of the 60’s with modern day cool. There is something for everyone here from joining the local surfers at the legendary breaks or disappear into the hinterland in search of quaint towns and artesian food. Byron stole my heart on my first visit, I loved it so much so I booked to return a month later before I had even left. The minute you arrive you are hit with holiday feels and a sense of calm. Byron has been THE place for Sydneysiders to visit when interstate and international travel was off the cards so it has become a lot busier in recent times but despite the extra traffic, it has retained it’s charming small town feel. There is so much to do here, you won’t be short of activities to keep you busy. But it’s also a perfect place to chill, enjoy great food and do nothing…
Mudgee is a small country historical town located 268 km northwest of Sydney, past the Blue Mountains. It is surrounded by dozen of wineries, which is the obvious reason visitors flock to the colonial town. The food scene in Mudgee has a lot to offer too with an array of restaurants and cafes lining the main street. Mudgee is about a 3 and a half hour drive from Sydney, making it a perfect distance for a weekend break or an extended weekend throwing in a stop off in the Blue Mountains on the way. Best time of year to visit: Spring and Autumn are undoubtedly the best time to year to visit Mudgee. Due to its inland location, it can get bitterly cold during the winter and extremely warm during the summer, neither of which make ideal conditions for sitting in vineyards sipping wine. The cherry blossoms are in bloom in Spring (Sept- Nov) which make a gorgeous backdrop to vineyard photos. The night time is still chilly (lows of 7 degrees) but the days are sunny and dry in general. In non COVID times, September is when the calendar peaks with the Mudgee Food and wine festival which is…
