What a great set up!

This was a fantastic weekend getaway spot, and the addition of the ‘pod’ with the fireplace was great for the cooler weather. Everything was provided, making it a truly comfortable experience and we loved that the lights and hearing had been turned on for us before we arrived.

Fantastic getaway

We all loved our stay, house was excellent. High quality home with everything you need & cosy and warm in winter. Loved sitting out on the deck watching the sunset & listening to the birdlife. The ‘pod’ was a highlight & great for our ‘older’ kids to have their own space to watch tv by the fire. Our cavoodle loved running around in the large enclosed yard. Excellent location & nice walk into town. Highly recommend!

Cosy cottage on the hill

We had a lovely weekend in Creswick staying at House on the Hill. The floor plan was ideal and the house clean and inviting. The kitchen had all the amenities you could possibly need and the pod was perfect to watch the footy and relax without waking our baby. I’ve already recommended to friends & family. Would happily drive 10 minutes from the main town of Ballarat for the peaceful surroundings of this property.

Last minutes decisions were turned out to be one of our favorite

If you would like to look for a peaceful getaway, this place IS perfect. Well thought amenities and kitchen things were wonderful and my teenage kids loved the pods. Our dog loved rum around in a secure back and front yard. It was quiet next to Melbourne University Forestry faculty and the sunsets view were very peaceful in a country side. The bikes in a shed were also very useful, and kids explored some tracks. Perfect relaxing holiday!

We have stayed here several times now. It is our favorite holiday house. It is always spotless with the fireplace stocked up ready to light on these cold winters nights. We love sitting on the porch enjoying the view.

Old timers fishing

As per our previous stay last year the property was immaculate on arrival and well appointed. Sharon is a great host. Sad to say but the fishing at Newlyn was below par.....

Fantastic

The house on the hill is comfortable, clean and well equipped. The house was easy to find, well located in town without being noisy. Loved seeing the kangaroos munching on the grass when going for a walk down the street in the evening!

Great for a family getaway

Had a great stay at the house on the hill in Creswick. The property was super clean and furnished with lots of nice little touches, and Sharon was very helpful. Enjoyed the setup of the separate 'pod' with the fireplace which was perfect for the adults to retreat to after the kids went to bed. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The House on the Hill. A few days away with walking, reading and time spent by the fire in the Pod was exactly what was needed.
