Trips into Olinda and Sassafras for antiqueing and shopping required some careful navigating of windy roads but certainly doable for confident drivers. The bedrooms were lovely, clean and warm and the living area made a nice space to relax and catch up ##### Ella C.

The hous My wife and I recently stayed at Risehill House and it was an experience we wont forget. The house and surroundings were absolutely stunning.The house itself is beautiful with a great dcor that made us feel comfortable and excited for our stay there.The veranda and balcony meant that we could spend time outside and enjoy the fresh air and surroundings and if we were inside the big glass windows still gave us a fantastic view.We were so taken with Risehill House that we plan to go back there during the Christmas break with family and friends.
