It was the most beautiful weekend of relaxing and enjoying the world go by. Surrounded by spectacular scenery and views and a delicious breakfast offering to start the day you simply can't go wrong.
AustraliaThe hosts, the food, and the location were exceptional. Paul and Craig made us feel like family. Breakfast is served outside on a beautiful patio and dinner is not to be missed from chef Paul. Craig will keep you entertained to make your stay even more memorable. Like MacArthur ,we will return to this gem.

AustraliaWe absolutely loved our stay at Hillcrest Mountain View Retreat. The hosts Craig and Paul are wonderful, very helpful, warm and have a great sense of humor. We had dinner there and thoroughly enjoyed every dish, Paul is a fantastic cook. Breakfast was outstanding too. In addition to that, the cottage was very spacious, private and comfortable. Sitting in the spa enjoying the view of Mt Warning is a truly relaxing experience.
AustraliaThe view was so relaxing, the food paul cooks top notch, the witty banter from the boys, lots of places to sit and unwind or go for a swim and of course craig has a pepper license so bonus 😂. Will definitely be back.
AustraliaThis elevated property sitting at the crest of a hill is surrounded in every direction by lush green pastures and spectacular mountain views. We were warmly welcomed by hosts Craig and Paul and are free to enjoy the pool, reading room, board games, peaceful patio views. The gourmet meals were absolutely delicious!

Host Info
At Hillcrest it’s all about the stunning, beautiful location, the service, attention to detail, the peace, quiet and relaxation. Located high on a hill in beautiful Upper Crystal Creek, Hillcrest sits on five landscaped acres in the middle of a 165-acre grazing farm. Enjoy amazing views of Mt Warning to the Springbrook and Cougal Ranges. Take a dip in the saltwater pool. Read a book in the gazebo overlooking the gardens, or completely unwind in the hammocks on the deck. Enjoy excellent meals cooked by Chef Paul. In the warmer months you can enjoy breakfast and dinner on the outside verandah.
One of my favourite things is to go down to Crystal Creek and jump in using the rope swing!
Crystal Creek is centrally located to all of the Major National Parks in the area. Springbrook is 15 minutes drive. Lamington is 25 minutes drive. Border Ranges is 35 minutes drive. Byron Bay is 40 minutes drive. Gold Coast is 40 minutes drive.
