Hosies - Hill End Micro Pub

Step inside this beautifully renovated 1870s building and discover a blend of country charm and contemporary comfort, right in the heart of Hill End Historic Site. Discover the attractions, history, and walking tracks of this gold rush town.

Eat, drink and unwind

The Hill End Micro Pub serves up local wines, craft beers and hearty seasonal fare that celebrates Central West producers. With a relaxed country-pub atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to gather with locals and friends after exploring the village’s gold-rush heritage, arts scene and scenic lookouts. Enjoy your drink in the outdoor grassy beer garden, which comes to life under festoon lights at night, or settle in indoors where a soft musical atmosphere sets the tone both inside and out.

Visit Hill End Heritage Centre for an insight into the village’s former life as a thriving gold mining town. Stroll along Golden Gully walking track, a short drive away, where remnants of old mine shafts and eroded rock formations in the creek bed will ignite your imagination.

Nature lovers can discover cottage-style gardens in summer, and autumn colours along historic avenues of elm, oak, Monterey pine and London plane trees. You may even spot a wallaby or kangaroo wandering around the village.

As the sun goes down, head to Bald Hill, Beaufoy Merlins or Split Rock lookout for that perfect sunset snap.

Stay

Hill End Micro Pub accommodates up to 12 guests across 7 bedrooms on the top floor. It's ideal for couples, families, groups and retreats. Guests have access to 2 share bathrooms on the ground floor and a separate toilet. Bedding and towels are provided but please bring all other personal amenities. A small, communal amenities area is located downstairs near the rear entry. This includes 2 bar fridges, a toaster, kettle and cupboards for storing dry goods.

As a heritage building, sound does travel and you may hear laughter and chatter from the bar and restaurant downstairs during opening hours. Your hosts encourage you to join in the fun but if you prefer quiet, please consider this before booking.
