About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Stone On The Hill - This is a contemporary 3 bedroom home with high ceilings, a coonara log fire and central heating.

The main living room is open plan - dining, big comfy leather couches, huge TV, a fully equipped kitchen, all cooking facilities and espresso machine. The adjacent laundry holds a large fridge as well as full laundry facilities. The lounge room opens to a beautiful deck with glass panels looking out into the trees.

Three comfortable bedrooms have queen beds. The main suite is downstairs with an ensuite bathroom, a gas log fire and a pair of french doors opening onto the stone steps out to the garden. Bedrooms on the upper level have queen beds and include a shared full bathroom with a bath.

The garden will beg you to get out into nature to enjoy the birdsong. Lots of walking trails from this property - leading you to walk to Kallista where you might want to enjoy breakfast, lunch or endless treats and eclectic shops - about 10 minutes walk. For the more energetic you can follow the Sassafras Creek trail to Sassafras village (which is just 6 minutes by car) or walk up to Olinda (again a short distance by car).

Nathania Springs, Poets Lane, Marybrooke and Lyrebird Falls wedding receptions are all close by.

This is a wonderful property to enjoy the unique blend of nature, nurture and a wonderful getaway. Or share it with family and friends for a wedding, a family celebration - or just treat yourself - you deserve this!

A beautiful house in a great location! Very close to shops, restaurants and cafes. The house had everything that we needed for our stay, and the heating was perfect for the cold few days we had.

The host/s were excellent at every step. The house was beautifully presented and well cared for/maintained. The view and landscape were relaxing; birds and nature walk across the road. Thank you.the only reason not 5-star was due to steep gravel driveway and the added difficulty in accessing - we managed; however do like to be organized as one of us had a newly replaced hip..

Weekend wonder

We had come up for a wedding. House was perfect. Tranquil, warm and had everything we needed. Comfortable cosy beds and the loft room was the perfect place for our teenage grandson. Beautiful gardens, lots of birds, close to the towns in the area. We were a bit sad when we left as we could have easily spent another few days. Highly recommend for a girls weekend or family gathering.

Property was in quiet location in the forest. Facilities were ok, however some of the instructions were vague. fireplace in lounge not well supplied with matches, kindling, etc, even though they were in the garage but no directions to them. Coonara downstairs pilot would not start. Provisions were very basic
