Bob's Creek Cottage - Peace near Orange & Molong

ElizaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Was a fantastic, peaceful and relaxing weekend getaway. Close to molong and orange for quick trips to visit wineries/cafes. We thoroughly enjoyed snuggling up near the indoor fire/ outdoor fire and exploring the farm and what it has to offer. Great for our 2 year old daughter, toys, farm animals and lots of outside space.

Lake Lyell Tiny Cabin, 4x4 and AWD access only

BethanyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful cabin in a beautiful secluded spot. I'd love to go back in warmer seasons to enjoy the private beach and fire pit, to explore the bush a bit more, and to sit outside on the deck with a book. Even with the freezing wet weather, it was cosy inside. I really appreciated the quiet and the seclusion. The bath was heavenly. The mattress was a bit too firm, but that is personal taste. And please do heed the listing - the track in definitely needs four wheel drive. This place was an absolute find - thank you Andre for making this place available, and special.

Little House on the Fish River

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Cathrine and Richard were very kind and helpful hosts. The Little House on the Fish River was clean, cozy, and filled with all that we needed including cooking/cleaning supplies, down to the details such as blankets, fire starting and marshmallow roasting equipment - a lovely touch. They were very helpful in getting the hot water and gas going again, after the cylinder ran out. Overall, a very lovely, private, yet welcoming space. The stars at night were phenomenal, and we enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. My partner and I are looking forward to staying again!

A beautiful home in a stunning location — the perfect base to experience everything Mudgee has to offer. The views from every window are breathtaking, and you’re just a short drive from town and the region’s best wineries. Susie, the host, is incredibly helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace and quiet while staying close to all the local attractions!

Your guide to Hill End

All About Hill End

A former mining town, Hill End holds a unique combination of outdoor activities, historical sites, and art attractions. In the 1870s, gold was discovered in this region of New South Wales, leading to one of the biggest gold rushes in Australia’s history, setting off a frenzy that resulted in the largest single piece of gold ever unearthed. Eventually, the gold ran out, and the town began to develop a reputation as a haven for eclectics and artists, at one point establishing itself as a full-fledged artists’ colony.

Today, the area continues to attract not just artists but outdoor enthusiasts and recreational travelers alike with its nearby Ball Hill walking track and Mullions Range State Forest. A dedicated group of locals keep the various shops, museums, and attractions open year-round so visitors can enjoy sites like the Hill End Heritage Centre and the Cornish Quartz roasting pits. Folks come here to stroll the dusty streets, pan for gold, hike, visit art galleries, and observe the 19th-century architecture represented in the town's original post office and stables, and the frontier-era saloons and hotels kept in near original condition.

The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Hill End

For pleasant temperatures and limited rainfall, you’ll want to visit Hill End between the months of November and March. During this time, you will be able to take full advantage of the breadth of activities the town has to offer. Should you choose to visit in the shoulder seasons, consider booking your Hill End accommodation in April during The End Festival, which hosts games, food stalls, and walking tours of the town. Many of the immaculately preserved buildings generally closed to the public are open during this time to give attendees a peek at what life was like in an 1800s mining town. Be sure to check road conditions if you decide to visit in the winter months as the dirt road leading into town can often be closed due to inclement weather.

Top things to do in Hill End

Panning for Gold

Hill End’s reputation as a gold mining town holds firm to this day. While there may not be any commercial mining activity, the area still attracts its fair share of hobbyists. Several local tour operators offer gold and gemstone panning excursions throughout the region, its many creeks, and authorized fossicking sites. At the end of the day, you’re almost guaranteed to find a hard-won souvenir to take home.

The Golden Gully Walking Track

This beautiful and easy walk provides a view into the geology of the region and its connection to mining. Areas of erosion along dried creek beds have exposed the labyrinth of now-defunct mines lining the ancient waterways. Follow the mostly flat trail and you will eventually reach the famous Golden Gully Arch that soars directly overhead.

History Hill Museum

The History Hill Museum is unique in the sense that many of the exhibits and attractions lie underneath the museum building in now defunct mineshafts. This open-air museum extends over 485 hectares, encompassing kilometres of old mine shafts, quarries, and underground rail lines. In addition, roughly 175 metres of an underground mine are open for public exploration. Experienced guides are also available on-site to provide lectures and explanations of the more than 10,000 gold rush era artifacts that include old mining equipment, steam engines, uranium glass, and a blacksmithing shop.
