About this property

Perfect Location for Leisure or Business - Right in the main street

Perfectly located with views of the surrounding hills and Scone main street. Quality and touches of luxury but with the simplicity of a bygone era. Everything you need for an comfy stay.

Both bedrooms offer a queen size bed.

Opposite the Railway Station and only a short walk to local cafes and Woolworths. Hillview Scone is the perfect base for your activities in Scone.

There are two separate living spaces with very comfortable, quality furniture. We have literally tried to make Hillview feel like a home away from home where you can relax after a long day, or just curl up with a good book on the feather stuffed sofa. The whole front of the house is available to guests, as are all of the grounds.

There is a small section at the back of the house which is not accessible, and is currently rented separately to long term tenants. At present, the house has only 1 bathroom, which is the ensuite to the main bedroom. The shower is located within an old fashioned clawfoot bathtub.

A long list for the handyman
What ever they are paying the caretaker it is too much. Premium price and so many issues, weird things like the towels don’t match, sheets all wrinkled, fridge all duct taped together you just don’t expect for that price. Dust everywhere, paint scraped off walls everywhere, someone’s clothes behind the door… bins not emptied. Beautiful old house being left to ruin.

Great property
Jenine and Gus are great hosts. The property was very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. We had quite a long stay there and the house and gardens/lawns were always maintained to a very high standard. Highly recommended this property.

Lovely heritage house
We (two adults and one quiet sensible teenage daughter) enjoyed our stay very much. The house had a unique heritage atmosphere. It was spacious, comfortable and private and we enjoyed looking at the garden and the visiting native birds. Very convenient to the shops. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Jenine Garcia

Host profile image
Hi :D We are Jenine and Gus. We bought Hillview in early 2018 as an investment property, but so fell in love with it that we decided to keep it for our own personal use. As we live in the city, we are happy to share our country home with you when you are travelling through Scone. It is a work in progress and we are always trying to add new little features that enhance the character and charm of the home.

Why they chose this property

Hillview was originally a part of the Geraldton land grant. The original Geraldton homestead is located right next door. We believe that Hillview was built in the early 1900's as a home for the daughter of the then owners of Geraldton.

With sandstone walls making up the front of the home, and beautiful high pressed metal ceilings, Hillview is a lovely, well preserved piece of yesteryear.

It is a little piece of history in a beautiful country town.

What makes this property unique

A few years ago, Hillview had a very eccentric owner who turned the gardens into her own little paradise. There was a viewing platform overlooking 100 David Austen roses (sadly no longer there), blue gardens, red gardens, beautiful trees, and a pool area that reminded her of her trip to the Greek Islands.
Whilst the yard is still beautiful, we are continuously working on restoring all of her work that has been neglected over the years.
The views from the house out into the yard are beautiful to wake up to. A morning coffee out the back is always the first call of the day, and lazy evenings or afternoons on the front verandah are always a treat.
