Notes from the host
On a Hill
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 trundle 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 ensure top quality drinking water at all times 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 machine and condenser clothes dryer all powered sustainably.
