Independent in Upper Turon 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!"

"Room and amenities are perfect plus Barista coffee"

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

"Fantastic! The whole place was absolutely fantastic and would highly highly recommend to anybody else to stay here. The facilities in the kitchen were amazing and could be used to cook pretty much anything. Again, highly recommend."

"The house was really great - perfect for our extended family/ friends to stay for our daughter's wedding nearby."

"Host was very accommodating, amenities were great."

"An extremely comfortable and well-appointed house. We had commitments around Orange, Oberon and Bathurst & this house was well located to serve. A wonderful bonus was the garden which was in full spring bloom and lovely to wander around & make of the outdoor setting. I’m glad we brought some firewood because it was still cool enough in the evenings & this made us very cosy. "

"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 "
