On A Hill is a modern country homestead set on 22 acres amidst sheep and cattle grazing country near the heritage-listed town of Braidwood in the Southern Tablelands of NSW. It is a sustainable holiday home built in 2016 entirely off the grid and without compromise to quality, luxury, and aesthetics.

There is a spring-fed dam on the property and a grove of bushland attracting kangaroos, wombats, an abundance of native birds as well as the occasional fox, deer, and other wildlife.

The property has been designed to allow up to 3 families to experience a country escape together, with a large communal living space, 3 king bedrooms and a fantastic bunk room with 2 bunk beds and 2 trundles sleeping up to 6 people (note the trundles are shorter and only suitable for children up to 12 yrs.).

The polished concrete floor provides a stunning base for the expansive open plan living area.

The kitchen cast iron wood-fired boiler and cooker is supplemented by a gas oven and cooktop for use in warmer months.

The insulating qualities of the construction and glazing mean that On A Hill stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer, making it the ideal family holiday destination at any time of the year.

Rest assured that our guest information folder at the property will tell you all the ins and outs regarding the solar power, tank water and hydronic and underfloor heating.

There is a backup generator that automatically kicks in if required. The pure local rainwater is filtered to always ensure top-quality drinking water and your year-round comfort is assured with underfloor and central hydronic heating powered by a traditional Esse wood-fired boiler and cooker.

There is also a slow combustion fire, ceiling fans, extraction fans, mod-cons such as dishwasher, microwave, washing machines and condenser clothes dryer all powered sustainably.

The property is also pet friendly and has an enclosed yard with a dog kennel for your pooch meaning the whole family is welcome to holiday at On A Hill! (just check the Pet Clause in the terms & conditions).

Noise at Properties: NSW Planning has passed laws that affect guests. The Code of Conduct for holiday renting can be found on our website under the Guest Information tab. In Section 2.5.2 of the STR Code of Conduct, guests have an obligation to ensure the peace and comfort of neighbours and other occupants of the premises (if strata) near holiday rental properties. This means guests have to be very mindful of noise made in or outside the property that can disrupt neighbours at any time of the day. If you or any other guest receives a warning regarding excess noise or excess guests, you may be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund of monies. Noise audible outside the property is prohibited.

Terms and Conditions: Detailed T&Cs apply for this property and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the T&Cs with your other guests.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.

No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

Long Stay Discounts: Out of peak season stays of a week or more may qualify for a discount, please send us a message.

Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.

For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit, held in our Trust Account, is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/agent’s discretion.
