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 4WDonly 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.

    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!

    A fabulous farmhouse on an amazing property. Truly and authentically the real Australian outback. It felt like going back in time, and wildlife watching was awe inspiring. Kangaroos surrounded us as far as the eye could see. Gentle cows and sheep roamed the paddocks, We spent most of our time on the deck, soaking it all in, book in hand, quietly chatting. Evenings were spent around one of 3 dining tables, candles lit, board games out. The nights were cool, the days gradually warmed up, followed by a spectacular sunset and magnificent night skies. Hill End itself is fascinating and historic, the coffee at the grocer was great, the new micro pub absolutely fabulous. Mudgee, an hour away, was great for a day trip to pick up some local wine and cheese. All in all, it was a privilege to ring in the New Year in a place like this. Thanks Anna and Bob - we hope to be back again!

    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

    This place is amazing it’s so beautiful every detail is thought of and the hosts are amazing. For all ages. Going in winter yes can be cold but the house heating and activities were not hindered in any way. We cannot wait to have another stay there soon. Highly recommend. Kids grandparents teens dog all perfect. The animals and wildlife birds echidnas kangaroos deer even the cows we helped feed.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
