Welcome to Serenity
Our secluded farm just outside Mudgee is not only a boutique vineyard but also a productive olive grove with two thousand olive trees. Add some sheep, cows, donkeys, goats, chooks, cats and dogs and finally two lovingly furnished accommodations to get a wholesome country experience where guests leave rejuvenated.
Our Three Pillars
Vineyard
Accomodation
Olive Grove
Our vineyard is one of the highest in the region with 40 year old Cabernet Sauvignon vines at its core. We recently planted Shiraz, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sangiovese to broaden our HILLSIDE Range of small-batch estate grown wines.
In addition, we selectively source grapes from top growers in the region for our GRATTAI GROVE Range of single estate wines.
Olive Grove
Accomodation
Olive Grove
The Olive Grove was established in 1996 and we now enjoy the fruit of about 2,000 mature trees.
The majority are classic Tuscan varieties of Frantoio & Correggiola; with some Manzanillo, Mission, Kalamata and Piqualle sprinkled in.
Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil can be tasted and bought at the farm and is available through a growing number of stockists and online.

The Hillside Retreat enchants you with stunning views over the olive groves, the paddocks and the rolling hills surrounding our country haven.
Elm’s Den is a cozy self contained wing of the homestead, guarded by a majestic old elm tree, featuring rustic timber and rock walls. It offers views of the vineyard during the day and the Milky Way at night.
Our FARM Animals
Leo
Hunter
Hunter
Leo, our German Shorthaired Pointer and our first farm dog, is convinced everybody comes to see him. He is very affectionate and loves to play with endless energy.

Hunter
Hunter, our Rhodesian Ridgeback, is 4 weeks younger than Leo and about 15 kilos heavier. His bark is impressive but he is a gentle and shy giant when you come closer.
Jerry

Tom has become quite feisty, especially when he thinks he had enough of the dogs or the goats invading his space. Still loves a cuddle and a rub of his cheeks.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie

Huey, Dewey, and Louie
Clearly some work has to be done regarding the table manners of our three super cute Boer Goats. But once you see them running towards you to check you out and of course to ask for food, you will forgive them right away.
Piper and Phoebe
Huey, Dewey, and Louie
Huey, Dewey, and Louie
Our two barn cats moved in with the donkeys and goats to protect their fresh food from our rodent friends who fiercely chewed through plastic and timber. No more so as the cats started to do what cats are supposed to do...
Mooey and Specks
Mooey and Specks
Mooey and Specks
These Friesian / Speckle cross breeds have been raised with close human contact and will come to the fence for a pat but more importantly for them, some treats! Specks is a steer and Mooey a heifer who might provide us with calves and milk down the line...
The Sheep
Mooey and Specks
Mooey and Specks
Our small flock of Aussie Whites recently doubled in size with nine lambs now bouncing around the paddock. Lots of cuteness to observe for our visitors and guests.
The Chooks
Mooey and Specks
The Chooks
A fun mix of Isa Browns, Cornish, Vorwerks and a Legbar. They give us delicious eggs which can be part of your breakfast if you stay in one of our accomodations. Of course they all have names so they don't end up in a soup one day.
