Amazing dog friendly stay …. a step back in time to a simpler life …. Long walks in beautiful countryside, big night skies, outdoor fire a great opportunity to disconnect for a while. Short distance to historic Hill End. Always greatful when hosts open their property to the fourlegged family members - beautiful homestead appreciated the early check in which allows everyone to settle in for the day

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

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 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.

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.

Lovely farm house.

Posey Hill is in an unbelievably lovely, picturesque setting. There are beautiful views of the countryside, surrounded by birds, with cows and ducks in the distance. This is the perfect place to have a break from city life, and ideal for exploring the fascinating historic Hill End village.

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.

Stunning location surrounded by history

The homestead is located in a breathtaking location. The house is full of character and is beautifully decorated. It was definitely like stepping back in time. It does get very cold in the middle of winter so bring lots of warm clothes. It's definitely a memorable experience!
