10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
It was a great place calm and relaxing. We had a wonderful time with the kids and family. The pool was excellent, and the customer service was fantastic too. Kangaroos and lovely birds were all around. Thank you very much!
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2025
Overall had a decent experience here. There was plumbing issues during our stay which I've already emailed about as they were major. Quiet location and the pool was great for when it was hot weather, byo pool toys though. Had basic utensils for cooking but no multi purpose spray out of the products they had for cleaning. BBQ wasn't in a good state when we arrived, had layers of grease and build up on it which indicated it hadn't been cleaned for a while. Beds were comfy. Lounge room was a good size. Outdoor seating was fantastic until the sewage smell came about from the septic tank overflowing across from us. This stay definitely could have been better without those negatives but it is what is. Wouldn't want to pay the same price to stay again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2024
Great location, property and service from booking to finish, with everything you need. House has everything and presented with cleanliness and a home feel. Hosted and communciated perfectly in everyway. Couldn't ask for a better Stayz getaway at Hillcrest House - thank you!
6 / 10Average·Feb 2021
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.
