Hill End Lodge

What guests think

At Hill End Lodge, travellers consistently praise the friendly, welcoming staff and the quiet bush setting close to historic Hill End, with wildlife around the grounds and a convenient on-site restaurant serving generally good, home-style meals.

Rooms are simple and often spacious, but several reviews note dated decor and maintenance issues such as mould, broken fittings or faulty fridges. Wi-Fi works best near the dining room and can be weak or unavailable in some outlying rooms. A few guests mentioned service or billing hiccups and one reported a temporary water outage, while most describe a relaxed, rustic stay rather than luxury. Expect a peaceful country lodge with basic comforts.

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.

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.

Cabin is a very comfortable size. Clean and modern. On-site restaurant has a limited menu but good quality food at a respectable price. The setting of the cabins is quiet and relaxing with the pleasing addition of kangaroos and native parrots in the late afternoon. This is 4+ stars of relaxing enjoyment for me.

The room was very run down and basic. The fridge froze my food even though it was on the lowest settling, bathroom had mould & peeling surfaces in the shower, blinds were broken, no chair in room, very dated furnishings. A reasonable size room with a tv but felt like most things needed throwing out and just starting again. One very old outdoor table & 1 chair on verandah that my neighbour left some rubbish on. Garbage bin on the verandah stunk and was full on my arrival. Beer can & cigarette butts littered the garden / outdoor space. On the plus side 2 of the lady staff members were very friendly and helpful. A huge asset to the place. Barking dog very early in the morning… the owners I was told. Save your money for somewhere else.

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.

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.
