Excellent property with plenty of space, large bedrooms and lounge. However the induction hotplates and oven did not seem to work properly, took a long time to cook. Good bbq but stove inadequate for a 8 person house

Our group of 4 had a fabulous visit to Hillside. It was very clean and had a lovely ambience. The home is only 5 minutes from town (a flat walk which is not the case for all rentals in DayleSford!)

The house was exactly as described. We arrived on a freezing day, to a lovely warm home with the fireplaces already lit and the lamps on for a cosy feel. It’s close to town, great to wander in for dinner at one of the local restaurants or pick up supplies to cook in the the well equipped kitchen. 2 living areas gave our family lots of room to spread out. Thanks for a lovely week.

Weekend away with old friends. Everything was perfect. The house was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Well set up and easy to check in. We all loved it.

The house is as described, in a fantastic location.
The only issue we had was on check-in, where the house had not been cleaned from previous guests. This was rectified quickly by Mario, who promptly organised 3 cleaners, however it delayed check-in by approx 2 hours
