Beautiful weekend escape!

We had a fantastic weekend away at this beautiful cottage. Everything was perfect and the extra touches (local recommendations on walks, kids feeding the horses, comfy beds, farm laid eggs and raw honey from the farm) made the stay even better. We highly recommend this lovely place.

Lovely place with everything you need

We had a great stay. We loved the artworks, the facilities available at the house, the thoughtfulness of small gestures like honey, eggs, milk and juice on arrival and easy, prompt communication with Melissa. We only wish we could have had a longer stay to relax into everything the house and area has to offer!

A wonderful retreat in the Perth Hills

Hillborne cottage was just what we needed. Everything was thought of with a bowl of the chhoks fresh eggs, honey, milk and juice. Kitchen was so well stocked and bed very comfortable. A front balcony to enjoy the local wildlife. So many birds and a full moon to enjoy. Slept so well. Location is great for local exploring. The hosts were so kind and welcoming. Thank you Melissa and Greg for ordering sunshine for us and for our little stay away from the coast

The perfect getaway

My energetic dog and I loved our stay at Hillborne. Melissa is a wonderful host and we felt very welcome. Beautiful property with plenty of walk trails and wildlife to keep us entertained, as well as many relaxing hours on the deck. The complimentary eggs and honey were a very welcome treat. Highly recommended.

What a lovely stay! We appreciate the well-appointed kitchen and comfy beds. Fresh eggs, sweet honey, fresh milk, and cold orange juice awaited us. Our dogs had the best time running outside, and we enjoyed the views from the verandah.

Very relaxing few days in Sawyers Valley

Mum, Winston and I enjoyed our short stay at Hillborne Cottage. It was so peaceful and there are so many birds and farm animals to watch from the balcony. We stayed out there for hours! Inside it was so cosy with cushions, rugs, extra blankets and towels. In the kitchen no detail was missed and the milk, eggs and honey were a great addition. Thank you Melissa, we’ll be back again!

Beautiful and relaxing break

We have stayed here before and loved it so much we came back, but this time just relaxed at the property all weekend, watching the horses and the local wildlife pass by. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped with absolutely everything you need for a beautiful home from home stay. The hosts are lovely people, friendly and welcoming, and I’d recommend this stay to anyone wanting a relaxing and wholesome stay in the hills..

Relaxing environment

We really enjoyed our stay over Christmas. Very nice personal touches, fresh eggs, raw honey, good quality chocolates, carton of milk and a bottle of quality juice. It was lovely having the horses infront of the property. Melissa offered to have my daughter join her grandkids in feeding them which was very kind.
