Tastefully decorated with wooden parquetry flooring throughout, a roaring combustion fire, elegant dining room and modern kitchen, you'll feel right at home when you stretch out on the generous lounge with a magazine or laze the afternoon away with a delicious cheese platter over a good catch up with friends.

To ensure your comfort the property features three rooms (Lounge, Bed 1 and Bed 2) that are fully air-conditioned, and fans are installed throughout.

With two wonderful cellar doors, concert pick up at the front gate, and bike hire all within walking distance of Hillcrest House, your activities and wine tasting are only moments away. Hillcrest is the perfect choice for your next stay in the Hunter.

Dad’s 60th
The family enjoyed a long weekend at Hillcrest House. The house was great ,plenty of room both inside and out. Given that we were blessed with amazing sunshine the pool was an added bonus. The property was in great location and accessible to the wineries we chose to visit. Thanks for a wonderful weekend and enjoyable birthday

Perfectly peaceful
Thank you for a wonderful short holiday at this lovely property. Secluded and peaceful but still close enough to all the best parts of the Hunter. Perfect! Would definitely stay again. The only reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 was the lack of air conditioning in all rooms, which would have made the hot, humid days (and nights) a lot more comfortable.

Hunter magic
This was such a special place to stay. Just a few minutes from the main Pokolbin wineries but away from the crowd, set amongst more interesting boutique operators. The place itself was magic. Wallabies and their joeys grazing at sunrise and sunset, and birds swimming in the dam. After a tough day eating and drinking it was a joy to come back and just sit and watch nature at its best. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Disappointing
Check in at only 3pm, "Late" checkout at 12pm when cleaners don't even attend on Sunday afternoon. Inside of house was nicely furnished, the outside looks rundown and neglected. Grass was cut but weeds everywhere, even growing on that sandpit where the outside lounge was. Pool nice, but covers of lounges full of bird poo. In detail: 1. Cables were hanging down from TV (unlike picuture in ad) 2. Ipod player was missing 3. left side bathroom sink - blockage - water doesn't drain - no use for us 4. sleeps 8, but you provide 5 placemats, no tablecoths and 1 teatowel? 5. Linen cupboard door in hallway doesn't close 6. Kitchen sliding fly screen door jams and is extremely hard to open and close; little light next to lounge didn't work 7. Outside tables, lounge, pillows FILTHY. Bird poo everywhere. I suppose thats what the owls are for, however, I expected the house to be cleaned prior to our arrival, especially when the check in is only 3pm! 8. Cobwebs on veranda, 9. Table and chair set ouside at the front filthy. The check in and out times annoyed me the most.
