Fantastic property and wonderful host

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at House on the Hill and everything was terrific a second time around. Karen is a generous and responsive host and the property is fantastic for a large family group of all ages - absolutely huge lounge room, well equipped kitchen, big bedrooms and a swimming pool. This place has everything a big extended family could need with lots of space for getting together and enjoying a meal. The pool was an added bonus.

The most wonderful stay

It was our second time visiting The House on the Hill as a family and we once again had the most incredible time. The house is really well appointed and stocked with everything you would need which makes it so much easier. It’s on such a beautiful property too. Thank you for having us Karen, and for being such a helpful and responsive host. We look forward to booking our third trip hopefully not in the too distant future.

Best Holiday House

Just returned from our 3rd time at this property. Love this place and already booked again for next year. Comfortably fits 2-3 families, biggest kitchen/lounge room I have ever seen. Pool is fantastic at this time of year and outdoor area with plenty of shade is wonderful. Karen is a great host and responds to any queries straight away.

Amazing place that kept surprising us

My friends and I had an amazing time while staying at House on the hill. we were blown away by the spaciousness of both the property and area. Karen was a terrific host who communicated everything well in advance and was so helpful with any queries we had. She even let us check out much later since the place was still available the following day :)

Great getaway with spectacular views

The House On The Hill was the perfect weekend getaway. The house is spacious and comfortable, the surrounding bush, horses and kangaroos were gorgeous, and the view of the sunset from the hill top fire pit was very special! Karen was a joy to deal with, super helpful and always quick to respond. We will be back with the kids in the summer with full intentions to make use of that beautiful pool!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Moonen

Host profile image
We bought the land as is and over the period of 4 years my husband who is a builder painstakingly built the property over the weekends and commuting from Melbourne each weekend. We also had to put in power, septic tanks and various exacavating of driveways.

Why they chose this property

The view was the most amazing sight with views of the mountains - Mt Camel. We love the peaceful location and seeing the change of weather from where the house located seeing the beautiful sunrises, storms and sunsets.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing environment
Peaceful location
Beautiful home with all the modern facilities
Amazing pre and post clean with hired linen
Great walking tracks
