Beautiful unloved property

Grand old homestead that is clearly not lovedSweltering in the heat and freezing in the coldNeeds some easy to operate split systems especially in the bedroom as most had to sleep on the floor in living rooms during a heat wave Could be amazing but lacks attention to detail

Beautiful property!

We stayed at Hillcrest for a friends wedding at Glen Erin which was only a 2 min drive from the property so very convenient! 5 bedrooms well suited our group of 5 friends, some with partners as well. Fully stocked house, beautiful views and easy communication with owner. The only challenge we had was that it was a very warm weekend and the house gets full sun (with a gorgeous sunrise) so wams up a lot. There was ducted fan and portable air con units but I think it was just 3 full days of warm weather that made the house a bit warm overall but we still loved it and at night was gorgeous to sit outside on the decking once the sun dropped a bit with a view to die for!Recommend also maybe a large umbrella for shade on the decking seating area as it was beautiful to sit at, but unfortunately too hot on these warm days to fully enjoy.Overall fully recommend this property for a large group of friends as plenty of space and all linen and towels provided which makes a weekend super easy!

Gorgeous place to relax

This property was perfect for a long weekend away with our adult children and grandchild. The house is very clean and extremely well resourced. The gardens are just gorgeous, with little pockets to enjoy as well as bigger spaces to all come together. Wayne was a terrific host, checking in a couple of times to make sure all was well.

Awesome experience

This is an amazing property both inside and out. The house is beautifully furnished on the inside but has the country charm on the outside. The gardens and outlook out to the mountains are quite something. We especially liked the fire pit which we used on a really clear night. The kitchen and living space is really big so its perfect for a family or larger group to use. Great location to local wineries as well. Highly recommend a stay at this place.
