Independent in Crudine from AU$122

"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!"

"Nice casual place, nice room, good meals and good base to look around Hill End and Sofala. John the owner was a real character."

"The kitchen has everything you could possibly need even more than expected! The property offers generous space, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.Just a note: in summer, there can be some flies and bugs around.We were lucky to enjoy a beautiful full moon during our stay, although it was so bright that it outshone the stars.If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway, this place is an excellent choice.Denny was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay!"

"Very pet friendly, quiet nestled in the hills, hideaway property. Clean property with a host who takes pride in ensuring privacy. Unwind reading a book with coffee overlooking the valley, or snuggling in front of the wood heater fire in winter with a wine, it meets all your needs."

"We really enjoyed our stay in Kandos at the Fair Haven Cottage. Loved cooking in the cottage style kitchen. Full size fridge and all the amenities you expect at home. We made breakfast both days and sat on the deck overlooking the backyard while the kids kicked the soccer ball around. Home was very clean and comfortable. We will be definitely back next time. Thank you for having us! "

"If you would like an off the grid break this property s a great stay. Waking up to look out the window to ducks Geese pigs goats Peacocks just some of your neighbors. I took a little adjustment to get used to the composting toilet in the Tiny house but was all part of the experience "

"My 6 year old daughter and I had an incredible night away at this gorgeous property. Fernando and Susanna were perfect hosts. Hoping to come back soon and provide some acupuncture and taichi in collaboration with these fantastic people nestled in nature."

"This was such an amazing place to stay! Super peaceful, lovely and helpful host, very cosy and comfy accomodation, beautiful country. Highly recommend this place! "

"We had a lovely time at the Odd Frog property. Fi was a great host, super easy to find. The bunkhouse has everything you need. The entire family loved all the wildlife around the bunkhouse, especially seeing the local platypus in the creek. Exploring the caves close by was a highlight with our dog loving every minute. We will certainly be back to try the cottages out. "
