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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DDD044EC07A2C8F514F8BC0F87ECA56274FEBA551688443124010.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BCA7B08CEE9CDB30C4999D830ED0B7B0182810F41688443124100.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kay Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Young Ran 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Young Ran Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### marian 10 Mar 2024 ##### marian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merlyn 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Merlyn Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee 13 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Paul and Craig make you feel totally welcome and fantastic hosts.
