I think we can agree with 'Rustic with friendly staff' to describe Hill End Lodge.
The negatives can remain as 'Why would you expect anything more?.. it's a Bush Lodge'

A super quiet and relaxed place for a getaway. Onsite restaurant makes things convenient. A huge range of native flora attracts many birds and kangaroos are often seen hopping between the rooms!

Lovely place to stay- peaceful and safe. Easy parking, wifi in an otherwise township 'dead zone'. Close to everything with lovely friendly host and staff. Dinners available and a neat BBQ area.
Just a note: Go prepared with your own water and bbq supplies as the closest towns are both over an hour away and the small village shop isnt really that well stocked.

Great low cost country place to stay
This is a low cost place to stay, that has that great old country feel. Not luxury. But John and the team provided great service.

Highly recommend, a hidden treasure
We loved our stay at Hill End Lodge.
The room was large, bed very comfortable with tea & coffee facilities in our room.
The host was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed breakfast and coffee’s, the evening meal was delicious.
The Lodge is set in beautiful bush surroundings, such a pleasure to be greeted in the mornings by the in house chook & roaster, parrots and rosellas.
Highly recommend you stay, when visiting Hill End at gorgeous historical town.

A wonderful place to stay
I cant speak highly enough about our stay. All of the staff were incredibly friendly, our room was fabulous and the food from the restaurant is divine. We stayed two nights and the grounds are lovely, the shower is instantaneous, its peaceful and quiet and we were treated like family. I would return in a heartbeat- it felt like a home away from home. We had a very relaxed stay. Close to town - we rode our bikes in and out of town.

Two Quiet Nights
We were in Room 10, far enough away from the dining room not to have internet but we didn't mind. Internet was strong down in dining room. Our room was large and very comfortable. Bed and pillows great. AC worked really well against the humidity. We enjoyed dinner each night on site, the food was tasty and well presented. The continental breakfast was complimentary, with hot items at cost.
Would recommend.
