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

Grace Hill is in a perfect location close to town, but also very private and one of the most relaxing places I’ve ever stayed. The property has everything you need right there, including a beautiful array of foods and drink in the fridge and plenty of places to explore close by. we even invited our our son and his partner up for the weekend and there was plenty of room to accommodate them. The hosts are also beautiful people who are very welcoming.

Daniel Australia

The hosts were so lovely and the place was spectacular. We really enjoyed staying at Gracehill and wished we could have extended our trip. There are a lot of hikes nearby, cycle tracks and other touristy things to do. They also provide a generous amount of breakfast items which exceeded our expectations.

Jishnu Australia

I booked this as a Christmas present for my parents, and they absolutely loved it! This was what they had to say- "We have travelled extensively over the years, and there's very few places that we walk into and are just completely in awe: however GraceHill had just that effect. The gardens were immaculate, the rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, and Betty and Frank were just so lovely. We will definitely be back."

Nicole Australia

Delicious and plentiful breakfast for 2 mornings. Very comfortable and very peaceful accommodation.

David Australia

Great location - peaceful and secluded. Greeted by owner who was friendly and welcoming. A very well stocked fridge. The coachouse was comfortable and cosy.

Mike Australia

The owners are lovely, kind hearted people. The property is huge and beautiful. The kitchen and fridge was stocked with so much food. I had a lovely time.

Shameem Australia

Really enjoyable stay here, it was just perfect to take a short break to relax and recharge. Betty was a great host, meeting us at the property when we arrived & gave us some key information about the property. A super generous amount of provisions provided making our stay even more comfortable. Only 5 mins to the centre of Olinda and a short trip into the Yarra Valley.

Wallena Australia

beautiful well maintained accommodation and gardens with stunning views and hosts that provide above and beyond the standard.

Simone Australia

Great property with garden view. Very tranquil and relaxing. Generous hostility. Hosts are very friendly. Room rate is very reasonable for the quality.
