Before checking in Irina, the owner, told us that the area had been fire-damaged and gave us the option of cancelling. We went ahead and ended up being the only guests over the Easter weekend in the three remaining cabins (three were lost in the fire). The other guests appeard to have cancelled, which was their loss. We had a BALL! The burnt bush was beautiful in its own way, and the surrounding area is gorgeous. The cabin is just that - a cabin; but comfortable and warm, with an outside firepit with endless wood which we used every night. Guests need to know that there is no Telstra service in Hill End but it is set up at the cabins. Oh, and dog-friendly as well, which was a big bonus. We highly recommend this place!
