We stayed in the Homestead for two nights following our wedding. We couldn’t fault anything with the property. It was spacious with a beautiful garden & views and so much food! We would definitely stay again.

Fiona Australia

Fantastic location, just minutes from Olinda main street. Property was larger than expected and great breakfast provided. The property was very cosy, felt right at home immediately.

Jessica Australia

Breakfast was well-catered for with a variety of choices available. Location was central, but quiet and private adding to the tranquility.

Lloyd Australia

Generous breakfast provisions and property was within excellent proximity to local attractions

Christopher Australia

Stunning location. Lots of space both inside and out. Private. Very clean. Very happy with the provisions provided.

Peter United Kingdom

Peacefull. The gardens. The wild animals. Everything.

Craig Australia

Extra large accomodation on a lovely farm property. Every detail thought of with comfort considered from friendly and welcoming owners. Only dissapointment is that we only had 2 nights here.

Kelly Australia

Location great, very quiet. The homestead was very spacious, well decorated and set amongst beautiful gardens. The accommodation included an extensive continental breakfast.

Rod Australia

Gracehill was beautiful, the accomodation was in a lovely secluded area only a short drive to town - the whole place was beautiful and so cosy! Having breakfast ingredients and snacks included was a lovely bonus and having the heater on for our arrival was beautiful!

Kristy Australia

We loved the room and the grounds and Betty was very welcoming.
