One of our best stays in Australia

We stopped here on our drive up the coast as a little pit stop and it ended up being one of our favourite spots! Craig and Paul were brilliant hosts and chefs, we were made to feel very welcome and we even extended our stay to enjoy the view, pool and food. We will be back!

Wonderful experience you won’t be disappointed

From the moment you arrive a sense of tranquility comes over you. Paul and Craig are the most wonderful hosts and greet you with a true warmth. The location and views are breathtaking. You can do as much or as little as you want. Great bush walking country all around. But curling up on the daybed out side your room or in the pergola is the best thing…that is until dinner is served!!! Paul provides a fantastic selection for your 2 or 3 course meal. We had dinner both nights we were there and it was amazing. Craig provided simply outstanding service. It’s dog friendly and has an incredibly large dog run. Hillcrest Mountain View Retreat has it all don’t think twice book it now, you won’t be disappointed.

I took my partner here for his birthday and to have a quiet retreat for a few nights. We absolutely loved the place and most of all, Craig and Paul. I can’t recommend more, a stay at Hillcrest especially if you want to stay somewhere beautiful, comfortable and relaxing. And of course you should book a dining experience with the guys. The food was fabulous!

Retreat to Relax

A very relaxing overnight stay on my short Northern NSW exploration. Form the sumptuous verandah, and my room, gave great rural views, including bushland. My evening meal and breakfast were superb. Thoughtful hosts. I wished I could have stayed longer. I will, next visit.
