Hill End stays

With museums, relics and heritage buildings, a Hill End stay is the perfect way to immerse yourself in gold rush history.

Gold was discovered in 1851 at Hill End, and at the peak of the gold rush in 1872, the town was the largest inland settlement in NSW. Hill End is now home to a thriving community and artists’ retreat, but the historic streetscape is largely unchanged.

Camp at one of two campgrounds or stay in heritage accommodation in town.
