a wonderful stay by one and all highly recommended

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.

Incredible place, perfect for events
Amazing house with sublime attention to detail from the linen sheets to the beautiful coffee mugs to the dried flowers. The grounds are stunning. Wake up to croaking frogs and a beautiful sunrise off the balcony. We got ready for our wedding here, then came back the next day for brunch. The place is far better than the photos make it look! The owner was flexible with our checkout time and easy to deal with. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property! We didn't want to leave
Hillcrest Country Estate is the most beautiful property you will never want to leave. The house was perfect for our bridal party and provided such a special and relaxing backdrop to our weekend. We felt so welcome and comfortable in the home. Information provided by the owner was so comprehensive and helpful we were thoroughly impressed! Communication was also great and certainly appreciated by an anxious bride-to-be! We hope to come back and visit again.

Luxurious but comfortable property that caters very well for a large family group.
My family of 11 adults really enjoy this home and surrounding gardens. The house was very clean and very well appointed which created a cosy and comfortable atmosphere. There was enough space that we did not feel cramped. The family room and the outdoor BBQ and table setting provided great areas for us to sit and enjoy the views, whilst spending quality time with each other. Thank you for this opportunity to stay at your very special place.

Peaceful retreat with stunning views
We had a wonderful stay at Hillcrest, and that is despite the wintry weather. The house is well kept and accommodated the 10 of us comfortably. The gardens are beautiful and just having all that space to ourselves, with the fresh country air, was just so relaxing. We especially enjoyed the views. The fish pond with the multitude of goldfish made for beautiful photos and that fire pit was perfect for roasting marshmallows. I definitely recommend a stay at Hillcrest. We are certainly planning on coming back. If the property was this beautiful in winter, I'd love to see it in autumn or spring!

Relaxing retreat
This was the perfect place to stay for our girls weekend. Relaxing and comfortable, with everything we needed. Such a helpful host and close to everything we wanted to see/do.

Relaxing in the country
A truly wonderful property. Excellent accommodation for 5 couples. Bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. Expansive living and relaxing areas and a beautiful warm wood fire backed up with central heating....we needed it as it was 5degrees outside. The setting, beautiful gardens looking over rolling farmland, was spectacular and visible from every room. we enjoyed it mid winter but think it would be even more spectacular in the warmer months. Total relaxation. Also easy to access from Melbourne airport and a short hour from the CBD, but handy to other great locations.
