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.
