We had a wonderful romantic night at the Homestead suite with Grace Hill Accommodation. The place matches its name, the view on top of the hill was breathtaking for us to enjoy breakfast on the back porch. Cosy fireplace, comfy bed as well as Netflix on a big screen TV, table tennis to entertain ourselves. The highlight of the night was the spa bath and champagne. We highly recommend Grace Hill as a retreat, a much needed getaway for couples and families. Thanks Betty for being so understanding and caring. We can’t wait to come back for more. 😍

Perfect for a winter getaway! The indoor fires made the house nice and toasty, the views of the backyard were so relaxing to wake up to in the morning, the breakfast set up had everything you could possibly need, the place was spotless and every tiny detail was thought out, and Betty was a lovely host with excellent communication.

Homestead - an excellent place to unwind
I stayed in Homestead Cottage for two nights and it had pretty much every amenity you could want. A hot tub, TWO fireplaces, nice comfy couches for lounging, and a track among the trees out the back.The environment was tranquil and perfect for an escape from city life. Will be back!

Awesome and peaceful place to stay
We stayed in “The Barn” which was ideal for our family of 5. Gracehill is immaculately presented and superbly maintained. We loved the peaceful serenity at Gracehill. Our kids also loved the spa, playground, wide open space and walking tracks. The included amenities were appreciated too. In summary, it’s a fantastic & peaceful place to relax at!

Luxurious, Spacious and Relaxing Accommodation
We stayed in the Coachouse for 5 days and the accomodation was outstanding in all its amenities. Beautifully furnished, spacious accommodation. The owners have considered every need and amenity their guests require and provided them at a very high standard e.g. Hot tub, luxurious couches, laundry, huge kitchen, dining inside and outside, large screen TV, fireplace and so much more. The grounds of the estate are beautiful for picnics or walks and very private and relaxing. The breakfast provisions were very generous and the best quality we’ve ever experienced in our travels. Truly outstanding attention to detail by the owners.
