The Vinestay

THE YEATES VINESTAY

—The Gate House AND The Vine Loft / Sleeps 4 —

Located on either side of the cellar door, our Vinestay is perfect for those travelling with family, another couple, or work colleagues. The Gate House sleeps two, while the Vine Loft also sleeps two, both within easy walking distance of one another but with enough space between to enjoy a little downtime.

The location.

Nestled amongst the vines, we’re just 5-minutes drive from the heart of Mudgee and within ‘the golden triangle’ of the region’s wineries. This means that you can stroll between cellar doors or get around via bike, car or uber/taxi.

Our Vinestay spaces are located above and beside our cellar door, so a glass of wine is just metres from your door. You’re also welcome to make use of the lawn - do some yoga, watch the sunset by the dam, get to know the local wildlife or settle in at the cellar door.

The Vinestay experience.

Our Vinestay includes accommodation in our two self-contained and luxuriously appointed one-bedroom accommodation spaces - the Gate House and the Vine Loft. Each sleeps two people and you can book the spaces individually or together as a Vinestay. This truly immersive experience begins with a complimentary wine tasting or glass of wine at the cellar door and ends with a lazy late checkout (11am). We are a family-owned and run business so things are fairly relaxed at Yeates.

The architecture & design.

In keeping with our focus on sustainability, the property is solar powered and has been designed by Cam Anderson Architects. It was constructed by Penney Constructions using energy efficient rammed earth, hardwood and corrugated iron, with rainwater tanks to collect water. Liv Johnson Interiors is responsible for the interior fit-out with styling from one of our own, Anna Yeates.

Weekends at Yeates Wines fill up pretty quickly, so if you’re keen to stay with us at the vineyard while the cellar door is buzzing then best to get online today and book your stay. Alternatively, take a few annual leave days and enjoy some serious R&R while the cellar door is closed midweek… or book your stay so there’s a nice balance between the two. Feel free to email us with any questions you might have.

Here’s what people are saying about their stay…

  • “HANDS DOWN THE BEST AIRBNB EXPERIENCE YET! This home is truly amazing. We booked this stay last minute but then realised how lucky we were when there was a cancellation earlier that week. This was the perfect getaway from waking up in a beautifully decorated loft-style unit in the vineyard was amazing. The wine cellar is literally 10 seconds from your doorstep. Everything was perfect from the decor, the kitchen fully equipped, The amazing wines on offer, cosy fireplace that was ready to be lit and also being greeted in the morning by a furry friend named Tipsy! Can’t fault it in any way, only wishing that they had more availability. We will see you guys again in spring. Thank you.”

  • “The Yeates vineyard is one of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed at. It is centrally located, approximately 5 mins from the town center, and neighbours many other vineyards. The wines are refreshing and crisp, perfect for the summer heat. And don’t pass on the cordial, it’s an absolute winner. Vicky, Edwina, and their pup Tipsy were very friendly and welcoming. They ensured that we were always catered for. The gatehouse provided enough privacy despite the cellar door being so close by. And was very convenient when we wanted to grab extra wines. Our Airbnb was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We found it to be a very peaceful stay and would love to stay again in the future.”

    — Serena

  • “Based on our experience the Gate House by Yeates Wines is a cut above the rest. It offers all the amenities for a perfect country retreat in a beautiful setting. The accommodation is finished to an incredibly high standard, we couldn’t fault it. The Yeates family was thoughtful, engaging, and generous. The cellar door offers a selection of some really great wines that can be enjoyed in front of an open fire or reclining in the sun. Frankly one of our most enjoyable AirBnB experiences - highly recommended.”

    — Aarone

  • “I can't speak highly enough of the accommodation, hospitality and overall experience. Feeling 'remote' was such a highlight...the quiet buzz of the cellar door during the day and the stars and kangaroos for company at night! A truly unique location.”

    — Michael

  • “I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic Airbnb and I have to say, it exceeded all my expectations. The place was incredibly clean and well-maintained, making me feel right at home. One of the highlights of my stay was being able to see kangaroos from the balcony - it was such a unique and unforgettable experience! The views of the nearby vineyards were also simply stunning and added a special touch to my stay. Overall, I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque getaway. The attention to detail, combined with the wonderful ambiance of the surrounding area, make for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay, this is definitely the place for you.”

  • “Falling asleep amongst the vineyards is very different to waking up amongst them! At Yeates Wine Loft, you can do both in true luxury and style! Vicki was amazing and was always available to provide the much-needed local guidance for the best spots to enjoy, what Mudgee has to offer. The Loft was perfect for our needs and beautifully styled. The Yeates experience is world-class. We enjoyed and loved our stay - and we do hope we will find our way back sometime soon. PS… Do allow space for many boxes of the amazing Yeates Rose in your vehicle & find time to meet Sandy - a local legend with a wicked sense of humour.”

  • “I’ve travelled the world… one of the best places I’ve stayed. Lovely family and great location… could not recommend highly enough.”

    — Steven

  • “Renae and I would like to say a huge thank you to the entire Yeates family. From our first arrival, Edwina and Vicky made us very welcome and showed great professionalism with a relaxed introduction and thorough run-through of the loft. The loft itself was astounding. The finish of the decor, especially the bathroom, was better than some of the 5-star hotels we have worked in before. Everything was well laid out and easy to operate. Every interaction with Edwina, Vicky, and Sandy was like we were lifelong friends. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you were looking for a luxurious, relaxing, and romantic getaway.”

    — Renae

  • “Couldn’t recommend this venue more! We wish we could have stayed for weeks! The space is styled so thoughtfully, the location is absolutely breathtaking and the hospitality is second to none! Waking up to hot air balloons drifting over the vineyards, enjoying a wine at the cellar, and relaxing in the beautiful spaces inside and out made our trip so special! An absolute must-stay in Mudgee!”

    — Steph

  • “Yeates was an incredible weekend away. Absolutely stunning location and incredible to be staying right next to the cellar door and having the vineyard to yourself in the evenings. The hosts were amazing, providing all in information before and on arrival and even more welcoming in person. The wines were also stunning and some of the best in the region. Accommodation was also as presented in photos, clean cosy, and all the amenities you’d need. Will be returning for our next trip to Mudgee.”

    — Antoinette

  • “The accommodation was perfect. I don't think there is a thing we would change. The architecture and interiors are beautiful. The loft apartment space works really well. The kitchen has everything you need for a short stay. bathroom and shower were great. The bed was super comfortable. Really nice furniture and bedding throughout. Lovely balcony with a table and chairs. Very picturesque looking out over the vineyard to the distant hills. Beautiful sunsets and so many stars at night time. A hot air balloon went passed one morning also. The hosts were a delight. So friendly and accommodating. We felt like part of the family! No issues being above the cellar door as it's only open from 11:00 am to 5:30 pm and outside those times you basically have the property to yourself with the exception of the resident ducks in the nearby lake and odd kangaroo hopping on by. We honestly couldn't have asked for more!”

    — William

  • “If you’re after a quiet stay, in accommodation you won’t want to leave, then this is hands down the place to stay. Sitting by the fireplace on a cold and rainy day, looking out over the vineyard was exactly the recharge we needed. This is by far the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in.”

    — Jonathon

  • “Without a doubt the most amazing place to stay in Mudgee! Incredibly peaceful & set on a stunning vineyard that offers both great wines & great hospitality!”
