About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Early colonial style homestead [circa 1906]

A simple, very rustic [self-contained] homestead, best enjoyed by people wanting to escape the fast paced city life for the tranquility of the country. It is remote, yet only 6km into Hill End town. We offer our guests, space, clean/comfortable beds, spectacular views, peace and quiet!

Access to the homestead is via 5.5kms of dirt road from the highway, 4WD is preferable, however a 2WD will get you to the homestead [in dry weather] and back if you take it slow and easy. Strictly 4WD only in the winter months and after heavy rain.

Bring your pet [maximum of two], relax and just laze around the homestead, enjoy a drink or two around the outdoor fire-pit, go for a walk, practice your photography, paint a picture, take in the bird life [so many!], gaze the amazing star show at night. If you don't want to cook take a short drive into Hill End historic township for great coffee and food at either Hill End Micro Pub, and don't forget to visit the History Hill Museum Hill and the Hill End Heritage Centre.

Initially part of Gundowda Estate in Hargraves, NSW, the property was later split up for sale and the homestead was purchased by the Graham family in 1976. Having lost their original home to fire, they then spent the next three years lovingly and painstakingly deconstructing the homestead and then rebuilding it plank by plank, brick by brick, onto its present site at Posey Hill, Hill End.

This is a truly unique property featuring, 12 foot ceilings, six fireplaces, four extra large bedrooms [sleeping a total of 12 people], country kitchen with electric and wood-fire stoves, wooden floorboards throughout, wrap-around verandas, federation bathroom with claw-foot tub.

The feeling you get when you enter this property is hard to put into words, but it just feels good to be there.

Only an hour's drive to either Mudgee or Bathurst and three and a half hours from Sydney.

$300 per night, minimum 3 night stay. Motor Bikes, Quad Bikes, All Terrain Vehicles or Hunting are NOT permitted.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a fenced private yard, and an electric kettle.

Dog friendly (as long as you keep an eye on your dogs and they are ok with wildlife and farm animals). Spacious house with generous proportions, lots of rooms. Hard to heat but worth rugging up for the beautiful surrounds and character house. Beds are cosy with electric blankets. Kitchen oven does not cook well but stove top ok. Yard the outside Weber BBQ for cooking. Beautiful location with fatastic views from the hilltops. Hosts were responsive to messages and house was thoughtfully prepared. Local honey is delicious!

If you appreciate history and enjoy a peaceful rural setting, this place delivers that old-world charm in spades. Parts of the yard boundary are open or only partially fenced, so if you’re bringing dogs or other pets, you’ll need to keep a close eye on them.The location is ideal for anyone wanting a quiet escape away from the noise of city life

Was looking for an off the beat farm stay, and this property was the perfect fit. It was so tranquil and out of the world! Our group absolutely loved the evening times bbq and around the outdoor fire pit. Kids had a great time together and can't stop telling stories about it. Such a nice holiday, thank you so much.

Amazing Historical Homestead

Posey Hill is truly the most amazing grand old homestead, so full of history and character, it was like taking a step back in time. Beautifully decorated and full of wonderful old 'treasures', we loved the huge fireplace. Quiet & Peaceful. So glad we got to spend a few days enjoying it.

Perfect Farm getaway

We had a wonderful three days exploring this farm. The land size is huge and you really feel like you are away from everything! Our boys rode their motorbikes and our dog just loved all the space to run free. The price was exceptional also, thank you to Bob and Anna for having us there and being so easily contactable.

Posey Hill Perfection

We had a brilliant time at Posey Hill, it's the ultimate rustic farmhouse getaway. Even though there was an incredible amount of rain (there was flooding in many areas of NSW) we stayed dry and warm by the fire or cosied up in bed with an electric blanket. We loved the outlook and exploring the property, and surrounding historic towns. Thanks so much for the memorable and peaceful stay.

Steeped in history

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Posey Hill Homestead. The fenced outdoor yard was just perfect for our furbabies to run around and explore. We could feel the history of the house as soon as we entered the farm gate. Communication was outstanding and we had everything we needed for a very relaxing break away. Posey Hill is a true, authentic country experience and we loved every minute of it.

Lovely house in the country.

Well looked after farmhouse. Beautiful paddocks surrounding the farmhouse, stretching up gentle hills in all direction- gives plenty of space and privacy (and lots of nice walks/views). Close to Hill End, kids enjoyed the town and gold panning. House much larger than we expected and bedrooms were all a good size. Our dog also enjoyed the large fenced yard around the house.

A tranquil gem

We had a wonderful stay at Posey Hill Homestead, located in a serene and picturesque valley - perfect for a complete escape from city life. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and very enjoyable stay. The kids loved roaming the property and the proximity to the cows, sheep and kangaroos. The views at sunset from the ridge were spectacular. The history of the villages of Hill End and Sofala (a short drive from the house) was very interesting and the kids loved the experience of gold panning and meeting the locals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Anna was a pleasure to deal with.
