Nestled among trees at the edge of Hill End, Fairfax House is the perfect place for a secluded country getaway with a historic twist. Built in the 1870s, it retains some of its original structures. During your stay, see if you can spot the unique fencing and illuminated peepholes that give you a glimpse of the building's original materials.

Ideal for families, couples or a small group of friends, the house has ample yard space for the kids to run around. As they play, they may be lucky enough to see some of the local wildlife including eastern grey kangaroos, redneck wallabies, echidnas and wombats. Please supervise children at all times as there are old mine shafts on the outskirts of the property, some of which are unfenced.

Once you've settled in, it's time to explore the area. Discover the world of the colonial gold miners on a guided tour of the Bald Hill tourist mine or see historic relics along nearby Bald Hill walking track. Towards the heart of town, you'll find heritage churches, galleries and stores, all steeped in gold rush history.

After a day spent sightseeing, draw a hot bath and unwind.
