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 Estate, Hill End General Store & Cafe or Hill End Pub, plus 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.

$250 per night, [$260 winter months] minimum 3 night stay [discounts for return and longer stays].
Motor Bikes, Quad Bikes, All Terrain Vehicles or Hunting 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.

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

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.

Country house

Unique country house that apart from some mod cons is exactly as it was when built in 1906. The road in is dusty and can be rough in parts but is accessible by 2 wheel drive vehicles. It might be different in wet weather but if you take it easy you will get there. The house is comfortable and well set up. There is wi fi and mobile phone connection. Exploring the property on foot is well worth it, just bring a sturdy pair of shoes. Make sure you take the time to visit the old gold mining town of Hill End which is only a short drive away. Plenty to see and do in Hill End plus the neighbouring village of Sofala. Overall a great place for at least 3 days - we stayed for a whole week.

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.

A rejuvenating stay

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.

Love the quiet and solitude

This property sits in its very own valley full of kangaroos, wallaroos, loads of birds, and lots and lots of quiet. We loved it. The house is large and has a few different spaces for friends....we had a jigsaw going in the lounge, baking in the kitchen, birdwatching on the verandah, book discussions in the sitting room. It was perfect for us!!

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.

Brilliant

This was our second stay after 2 years of our youngest recounting the last stay as having been the best holiday we had ever been on (agreed on by his siblings). Anna left a lovely present for the birthday boy which he loved and wrote a reply which he left on the kitchen table. The second stay was even better than the first. The whole family are very happy!

The perfect getaway to unwind!

What a sublime getaway we had! The absolutely perfect place to unwind, reset and recharge! We had a wonderful 3 nights at Posey HIll. The homestead is beautifully preserved and presented and includes a fully equipped kitchen for all your self catering needs. The wrap around verandah was the perfect spot to relax. I recommend bringing a pair of binoculars as the bird life was pretty amazing once you started looking! Our count from our stay: Red rumped parrot, Welcome Swallow, Weebill , Willy Wag Tail, Gallah, Magpie, Black faced cuckoo shrike, Wedge Tailed Eagle, Superb Fairy Wren, Magpie Lark, Eastern Rosella, Australian Wood Duck, Grey Falcon. We were able to access Posey Hill with our Mazda 3 but we got REALLY lucky because it was quite dry prior to our arrival and during our whole stay. I’d suggest a 4WD (as they recommend prior to booking) is the way to go. BUT grateful I somehow missed ALL those warnings and booked and then just kept fingers crossed that the weather makers would be kind - and they were! When the time came (3 nights goes fast!) I really didn’t want to leave. Anna and Bob are running a beautiful property! With a personalised welcome note, flowers and delicious Mudgee Biscotti - it was the cherry on the top of our fabulous break!
