The grounds are exceptional. So well kept. We stayed in The Barn. Such a lovely place. It was very clean. Fire was on when we got there and was very warm and inviting. It is just so homey. We were very impressed by the cheese and fruit platter and bottle of wine waiting for us. Most confortable bed I have ever slept in. Betty came down to welcome us not long after we arrived and told us a bit about the place. She is absolutely lovely. We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay in "The Barn". Betty, our host, had thought of everything for our stay. We were very appreciative of the amazing food gift basket upon our arrival, and all the amazing fresh food for breakfast. "The Barn" is a wonderful place to stay with children, and the location is perfectly beautiful. We all had a wonderful time!

Beautiful landscaped gardens, with all details thought of, great getaway even if you have kids as it has a playground equipped with a sandpit, slide, swing and cubby house, the rooms were charming with all details thought of including an amazing amount of food with a lot of it coming from there own home grown fruit and local produce. The ping pong table was lots of fun and a great touch the the Homestead where we stayed. Living area and bedroom tastefully decorated in a kinda fusion of French touches with floral decor to Victorian high tea the plates and dining details, fresh homemade bread , jam and some Lindt chocolate for a sweet touch. These owners have definitely ticked all the boxes as host and Betty was a lovely host showing us through the property beforehand, instructions on getting there were easy to follow and even only being a couple a kilometres from Olinda town, it felt like you in the middle of rolling hills far from the hustle of the city, it was just so quiet and peaceful. Great weekend away for our anniversary, thank you for the amazing stay, you should be proud of your accommodations and the high standards you aim for .

“Effortless finesse, charm, style and elegance!”

Didn't like leaving food provided as Betty had been very considerate and generous in the offerings. Didn't like having to leave after our time came to an end - we felt safe and secure at all times.
This accommodation is truly a wonderful experience and for our family it meant that my Dad, who is 88 years of age, could travel from Sydney with us to attend a grandson's wedding. We stayed in the Coachouse, equipped with everything to make our stay of four nights comfortable. The provisions for breakfast kept us going for the entire time - in fact we couldn't eat it all! From the moment we stepped into the Coachouse it felt like home and many afternoons all three lounges were found with occupants sleeping peacefully. It is truly a special place with the village of Olinda not far away where you can find an array of shops to linger in or enjoy a coffee or meal. A walk in the gardens is an exploration in itself - so many different shades of green and colours of flowers with little spots where a table/chair or two were found to sit and just take it all in. As there are three types of accommodation available, we are hoping that we can return at least two more times and stay in the Barn with family/friends and the Homestead - just the two of us!

Wonderful accommodation- very comfortable with a delightful garden outlook and close to the village of Olinda. Gracious host Betty made us very welcome and huge range of delicious morsels provided was unexpected and much appreciated. We plan to return and stay longer. There is much to do locally and GraceHill is a marvellous base- spacious and snug to return to at the end of a busy day taking in the sights of the Dandenongs.
