Great Location in Macedon Ranges
Great location 5 mins drive to Hanging Rock, Lancefield and Romsay. 15 min drive to Woodend and Mt Macedon. Easy access. The property is a working farm so the owners maybe onsite at certain times to tender the farm potentially staying in the Wattlehill Barn which is a separate building on the western side of the main property. Guests will have complete privacy of the main Hillcrest house, games room and gardens during their stay. If you would like to have any farm experience while staying at the property please feel free to reach out to us.

Stunning views, lovely gardens, very comfortable beds and virtually every facility, amenity and the huge range of utensils one could think of, all conveniently available. Had to think hard what was “missing” …. ah ha - an apple corer (not that anyone uses them these days)The internal fire was a major hit during a very cold long weekend. Max temp 8 … feels like -2. Thanks for plenty of firewood, much appreciated.Highly recommend for several days for an extended family or group of close friends. Lots to do locally and very convenient to Melbourne.

We stayed at Hillcrest for a friends wedding at Glen Erin which was only a 2 min drive from the property so very convenient! 5 bedrooms well suited our group of 5 friends, some with partners as well. Fully stocked house, beautiful views and easy communication with owner. The only challenge we had was that it was a very warm weekend and the house gets full sun (with a gorgeous sunrise) so wams up a lot. There was ducted fan and portable air con units but I think it was just 3 full days of warm weather that made the house a bit warm overall but we still loved it and at night was gorgeous to sit outside on the decking once the sun dropped a bit with a view to die for!Recommend also maybe a large umbrella for shade on the decking seating area as it was beautiful to sit at, but unfortunately too hot on these warm days to fully enjoy.Overall fully recommend this property for a large group of friends as plenty of space and all linen and towels provided which makes a weekend super easy!

Grand old homestead that is clearly not lovedSweltering in the heat and freezing in the coldNeeds some easy to operate split systems especially in the bedroom as most had to sleep on the floor in living rooms during a heat wave Could be amazing but lacks attention to detail
