The Horatio motel is an excellent place to stay if you are visiting Mudgee. The room is spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. The covid safe check in and check out protocols are excellent too and you are kept well informed on how to proceed. Ample amount of parking and super quiet location. I would definitely stay again when I visit Mudgee especially as the location is perfect to walk into town and you always feel safe. Rooms are also kept super clean.

We very much enjoyed our experience at the Horatio motel! Perfect location, tidy and spacious rooms and easy check in/out. Perfect place to have as your base when exploring the surrounds. Also got a 10 percent voucher from the front desk for First Ridge cellar door - which was by far our fave winery! Thanks for a lovely weekend team Horatio!
