We were disappointed with our stay, as we expected a peaceful and quiet farmstay, but the area was very noisy due to the nearby freeway. The tent was not well-maintained, and when the wind picked up, we were unable to latch the windows, resulting in an uncomfortable breeze directly over us. We attempted to contact the on-site staff but received no answer, and our text to the property owner also went unanswered. Given the high price, we felt the experience did not meet expectations.

The property was conveniently located with some traffic noise associated with being just off the highway. The dome tent was fun, although he bathroom door doesn’t stay shut which wasn’t ideal with a family. The pool was excellent. The main disappointment for me was not having all the breakfast provisions, and no hot water for the first day until I realised that the hot water system was switched off- not great at this price point. I did let the hosts know in an email and never got a response, which I was disappointed about.

We had a great stay at Hillview Farmstay, our cabin was perfect, it had everything we could need and the farm animals were a massive bonus! At 8.30 in the mornings you can meet the animals and offer them feed. Donna the farm manager tells you the animals names and all about them which makes it even better! We wish we could have stayed longer, hopefully we’ll come again.

This place is wonderful for a quiet stay. The loft that we had were clean and there were sufficient heaters during the winter time.
Cooking utensils and BBQ were kept clean and we had much fun cooking for ourselves.
There were horses, goats, sheep, alpacas around and we can feed them.
It would be great to have activities for little ones to keep them occupied.
The only downside was the wifi. It could hardly connect and we had to step out of the loft to have a slightly stronger connection.

Overall, I would recommend this place for a stay.

We booked into a dome tent for 3 adults, the plastic window was damaged, the gyprock was unfinished in the kitchen area. The 2 ladies who seemed to be in charge did not introduce themselves and we felt like we were doing something wrong by the way they spoke to us when we were having a look around. There was only enough bedding and breakfast for 2 - we were given an extra bag of linen and breakfast after they realised. You need to cook outside of the dome (fair enough) but there was no shelter over the cooking area (it was raining). Toilet door didn't shut properly. You needed to leave the firepit area at 8.30pm. Pillows and bedding were uncomfortable.
For the price we paid it was definitely not a great experience

Stayed in the Glamping Tent.
Friendly employees. Tent was had a good layout.
Too hot in summer. Winter would be better.
Bad orientation though. The deck should've faced away from the highway instead of 45 degree angle to it.
LOTS of noise from the Hume Highway. Could hear the trucks all night. This is not a place I'd recommend for a romantic getaway.
I would stay again if it wasn't for the rude owner. I said hi and nodded my head as I passed him. I got nothing back. Like I didn't exist. My wife was walking about 10 seconds behind me and she also said hi to him. Again, nothing from him. My kids even said thank you and waved to a staff member who was next to him and, again, he didn't acknowledge them at all. Very, very rude man. I feel sorry for his staff.

We did a road trip from the Central Coast of NSW to Melbourne. Hillview was almost exactly halfway. Situated right on the Hume it was great to pull in after a long drive and receive a warm welcome. Our unit was perfect with a lounge and kitchen, balcony and a king size bed in the bedroom. We had pre ordered food for the BBQ and some dips which were excellent. The outdoor fire pit was also great to get some fresh air after all day in the car. We had our dog Teddy who was welcome and enjoyed the space. It is the perfect place to stopover for a day or even two if you are doing the Sydney to a Melbourne road trip, especially if you have kids or a dog.

Hillview is a nice property and the onsite hosts are lovely. My young son really enjoyed the animal feeding.

I booked the Cub Safari Tent. Whilst the safari tent was lovely and well laid-out, it failed to meet expectations.

For those going to stay in the coming weeks/months - I advise calling the owners PROIR to arrival & check the zipper has been fixed.

The zipper was broken when we stayed and I wasn't told in advance and it was a very cold and windy night. I felt very unsecure and was tempted to leave right then and there had it not been for just completing a 6hr drive already. The wind rattled through not to mention anyone (or anything) could have just entered the tent and as a single mum with a young son this was a very nervous thought and kept me from sleeping properly.

When I've written to the owners they have explained that they're looking to replace the tent entrance with a timber sliding door however, this seems to be at the start of motion and not sure how long it will take to come to fruition.

Also, be aware the noise from the Hume Hwy is intense. I haven't seen this mentioned in previous reviews but from the tent you can hear EVERYTHING in complete detail. Again, I've address with the owners who say they're looking into sound barriers and white noise (nature sounds) to be installed.

Lastly, the BBQ ignition function wasn't working. It meant I had to seek assistance to the light the BBQ. Not a deal breaker but thought I'd mention it.

Cleanliness needs some work....

so we booked the lodge last minute on the way to Sydney. The host was helpful with providing late check in instructions and it was very easy.
The lodge was empty so we had the whole house to ourselves. We did arrive late at night and went straight into bed.
In the morning we tried cooking the breakfast with the provided groceries - the eggs in the fridge were covered with dead ants the whole kitchen had dead animals and flies everywhere and all equipment including the Cookware was very dirty. The stove are very old and wouldn’t warm up we did spend about half an hour on trying make eggs but we gave up in the end.
The kettle was in awful condition didn’t really want to boil it so we didn’t have coffee too...
Pretty disappointing
Not what you expect to be getting for $170 felt like we were staying in a hostel

Give the motels a miss, stay here.

This was a great place to spend the afternoon and night as it was half way between Sydney and Melbourne.
We were made to feel welcome on arrival by Rod and Raywyn.
The cabin was very clean and was equipped with everything needed for our stay, including great country views. We even participated in the feeding of the alpacas, sheep, goats, chickens and a baby lamb named \"May\" thanks to Rod and Raywyn.
Raywyn's home cooked meals, (delivered to our cabin), we're delectable.
We would definitely stay again just for Raywyn's cooking and the hospitality.
You must spend some time in the \"Wool shed\" at the property.
Only one complaint. We didn't get to meet Ruth, everything was done electronically with her and this lacked the personal touch.

The site shows independent self contained units which is what we THOUGHT we booked as it is what was described when booking. However, AFTER booking we received a sms from the manager stating that the room was part of a SHARED facility. Unable to cancel so had to go.
On arrival to the room, the entire common area smelt badly of tomato sauce and offensive cooking odors.
Extremely disappointing given we paid $170 for the pro algae if a share house arrangement!!
The room and en-suite however, were nice and clean. About 10pm we received another sms asking to unlock the doors so more guests could join the share house. The noise of more share house guests arriving was so noisy it woke us up.

If you are not accustomed to loud traffic noise, this may not be the most relaxing B&B as the highway sounds as if it runs right by your window once the sun has gone down. Large trucks seem to treat it like a race track anyway and the noise in the night is very loud to those of us accustomed to silence after dark.

Good bacon, eggs and supplies. Purchased from manager local lamb chops and Shiraz. GREAT! Kitchen in the shared area not up to standard of accommodation. Stove is old and temp letters worn off so couldn't work out what temp we were cooking at. Draws and cupboards with kitchen gadgets and cutlery, plates and pots n pans a mess. Needs a little attention and replacement of broken items. This is the ONLY let down to the place. All very clean and neat. Will return to stay again when passing. :) Birds, Rabbits and Lamas seem to roam the farm and garden surrounding the complex, but a lot of the garden is overgrown, and a bit of weeding or spraying would assist the look of the place a lot.

The place was very clean, but a bit stark with no prints or drawings on walls. The breakfast was a treat. Very lean bacon shortcuts, nice eggs which we poached, toast and good jams and butter.

There was a coffee machine and breakfast which was a nice touch on our road trip. The only flaw was that when we arrived, we were locked out of the lodge, and had to wait quite a while to be let in. This was mostly our fault as we arrived quite late but we suggest a key safe with a code to prevent this from happening in the future.

Awesome surprise BnB experience

The Hillview Farmstay is much more than a place to stay, as it has so much more to offer.

The BBQ which was prepared for us upon arrival was fun to do and delicious. Therw were kangaroos see, where Will was a fantastic guide, and alpacas along with a variety of farm animals.

We also took advantage of the tennis court, but not the swimming pool during our short stay.

Comfortable with room for adventure

This was my second stay with the ever faithful dog. Very comfortable sitting on the deck looking out over the paddocks, little blue and red wrens hopping about. Watched the kids going on tours of the farm.

Amazing place

We really loved our stay, it’s a beautiful spot, and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
It’s great to be able to order local food and wine, relax in the pool and enjoy the grounds.
There are also Tesla destination chargers if you are lucky enough to have one of those!
Will definitely stay there again

Country comfort

Loved driving in past the llamas. Options of arranging food to prepare in units, highly recommend lamb sausages! Rooms comfortable and have everything you need. Swimming pool was good place to relax and Jac the Dog was intrigued by the animals

The nicest place midway between Syd and Melb

A farmstay experience doesn't mean you have to \"rough it out\". Hillview provides a very clean and comfortable accommodation and my family enjoyed a relaxing break traveling between Sydney and Melbourne. The cottages are located about 1km off the Hume highway, so we didn't hear any traffic during the day or night. We had free use of the tennis court, and there is also a swimming pool, air hockey table, a communal fireplace and sofas area by the pool to relax in.

The new owners, are very friendly. They can provide a 30min buggy ride around the property, upon request, to visit the farm animals for feeding. Our kids met and fed Daisy the cow who is very friendly.

We highly recommend Hillview. We have stayed in other properties around the Gandagai area, and by far this place is the best. We will certainly be repeat customers.

Great location - much better than a hotel room!

After a long day in the car my children loved the chance to swim, play tennis and explore. A visit from the alpacas topped off a lovely break!
