Lock in a great price for Hillcrest Mountain View Retreat – rated 9.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

I was treated like an old friend from the moment I arrived, and offered a glass of wine almost before I'd put my bags down. I opted for dinner cooked in house by Paul, and it was absolutely delicious - by far the best value meal I had on my entire trip. Breakfast was just as wonderful, with little touches like homemade preserves making all the difference. The property is quiet with amazing views of the surrounding national park, and within easy drive to many tourist destinations along the coast. Can't recommend Craig and Paul's property highly enough. I'll definitely be back!

Catriona, New Zealand

This picturesque, peaceful and tranquil setting is unforgettable. It's a perfect retreat from the bustle of Byron but at the same an easy drive to all the towns on the Tweed and beyond. Paul and Craig were the perfect hosts and made us so welcome. We dined with them on our last night and it was hands down the best meal of our time away. We loved every minute and will be sure to visit again.

Lyndielou, Australia

Paul and Craig are excellent hosts. We felt welcome and pampered from start to finish. The accommodation was excellent and the food was magnificent. We enjoyed seeing these guys love the life they have created in this rural idyll.

Richard, Australia

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Paul and Craig are awesome. Food was great! We had only one night stay but we enjoyed very much. Definitely come back there again! Highly recommend!!

Minako, Australia

Great views, amazing food, accommodation, pool, in room spa and hospitality. A very relaxing country environment.

Catherine, Australia

Excellent host This is our third time Will come back again All the food that get served is awesome Both Paul and Craig are wonderful as always

Satnam, Australia

The warmth and friendliness from Craig and Paul was exceptional giving you a welcoming and memorable stay. We would be happy to this experience again..

Shane, Australia

Never ever have we experience such great hosts. The views were amazing. No more than two couples on site and Paul and Graig prepare a (fix prix) meal for you on request with candle light. The food and the wine were excellent (paul is a chef). The only negative part was that we booked only one night. We will (no, we must!) visit again soon!!!

The hosts Craig and Paul were friendly, hospitable and very informative on the local area. The food was tasteful, scrumptious and value for money. We were given an extra bonus of being entertained by their extended canine family - beautiful.

didn't have time to climb Mount Warning for watching the sun rising.
its setting in the unspoiled nature, the quietness and fresh air. due to the small size of the property the guests are part of the 'family'. In addition, don't worry about having to find somewhere a restaurant for dinner, Paul is an excellent chef.

It's presentation; attention to details; genuine friendliness to make sure that the guests have an enjoyable stay.
It has a "home away from home" feeling. It is obvious that the management takes pride in what they do.
