The perfect house for a weekend getaway

I absolutely loved this property! I came here for a weekend with my friends to celebrate a birthday and could not have been happier with the property and the area. Karen's house is absolutely stunning and has so many activities to keep you busy and having fun. The grounds are amazing and there is so much to explore. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

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.

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 :)

Words can't really explain

Our stay at House on the Hill was insane. Getting there was so easy (google maps took us all the way) Driving up the driveway was exciting. The house is set up on a hill with views from every single door and window. The house is so well equipped, it has EVERYTHING! Infact it was well above what we had thought from the listing. The home is spacious and grand, everything is so well thought out. If you're looking for somewhere to relax, this is the place. The area is so serene, the stress of the world melts away! We loved our stay here and have talked about our return already. Thank you Karen for your amazing communication and generosity.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Moonen

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.
