Independent in Sallys Flat 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."

"Host was very accommodating, amenities were great."

"This was an excellent spot to access the Bathurst 1000 and although a bit of a drive, it was well worth it. Loved the sheep!"

"Stayed for two nights: walked up the hill to the paddocks at the top of the world, sat around the fire pit and had great chat with the lady owner who had set up the property to keep all ages happy. It's a farm-stay. The property isn't the lap luxury, but it's a good honest place where, in the small hours of the night, you can see more stars than you've ever imaged! Also loved the x 2 dogs. "

"Amazing stay. Could not recommend it highly enough. The hosts Sue and Pete were the most accommodating people and we can’t thank them enough. We will definitely be back."

"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! "
