Description from owner

Description

A taste of modern vintage country living just 280km north-west of Sydney NSW, via Mudgee or Bathurst.

Hill End’s finest self-contained guesthouse accommodation, set on a quiet two-acre block hosting up to four guests in a two-bedroom cottage with queen bedded rooms. Take your morning coffee to the front verandah, pull up a seat and breathe in the fresh country air. Observe the friendly locals – you’ll find an abundance of birdlife and curious roos regularly exploring your temporary backyard.

Just a short stroll from the historic village centre of Hill End, The Guesthouse is the ideal place to make your retreat.

Enjoy the heritage streetscape and tree lined 'Avenue' that has inspired many Hill End artists, meet local characters at the Royal Hotel, replenish supplies at the General Store + Cafe, grab your fossicking gear at Northey's Store, lose yourself in local memorabilia at History Hill, explore the Heritage Centre, or simply be inspired by the beauty and heritage of this historic gold rush town.

Adorning the walls of The Guesthouse are works by internationally renowned artists who live and work in Hill End, a town that is a magnet for creative minds.

You’ll enjoy all the creature comforts here, it’s ready for you to enjoy year round with a combustion fireplace and reverse cycle air conditioning.

Why not stop in at nearby Mudgee, made famous for its impressive food + wine scene, just 70 km ‘down the road’ to sample and select locally grown produce to bring home to The Guesthouse. Pour a glass or two from a Mudgee winery and prepare delicious produce with your loved one, friends or family in the well equipped kitchen or cook outside on the BBQ.

Other conveniences include a large shed with undercover parking, free WiFi, laundry with washing machine and dryer, ironing facilities, TV, DVD player and DVD selection, radio + CD + Bluetooth sound system, board games and an established orchard where guests are encouraged to pick and eat in season.
