Hillcrest House - views across the Hunter Valley
**ENJOY AN EXTRA NIGHT ON US !**
Book 2 nights and receive the 3rd night FREE. Available for all NEW bookings only, made from 11th February 2026 for Hillcrest House and staying between 11th February 2026 – 31st August 2026. **This offer is not available on Long Weekends, Public Holidays or any Special Events in the Hunter (such as concerts etc.), or in conjunction with other offers or discounts. Promotion available only by contacting Hunter Valley Stays via STAYZ/VRBO, not available online. The FREE night will always be the lowest valued night.
Hillcrest House is a wonderful gem in the Hunter. Set in an elevated location in the heart of Pokolbin's Wine Country, Hillcrest House is only moments to the major concert venues, many exquisite world class restaurants, wineries, spas and golf courses. This picturesque property sits on 14 charming acres and enjoys delightful views of the Brokenback and Watagan ranges. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and accommodation for up to 7 guests, relax and enjoy this property in all seasons.
Tastefully decorated with wooden parquetry flooring throughout, a roaring combustion fire, elegant dining room and modern kitchen, you'll feel right at home when you stretch out on the generous lounge with a magazine or laze the afternoon away with a delicious cheese platter over a good catch up with friends.
For the warmer months, Hillcrest House has a sparkling in-ground pool with views of the rolling hills beyond, a generous covered outdoor entertaining area. Pick some fresh herbs from the garden and cook up a bbq for you and your friends or simply enjoy sipping glass of fine Hunter wine whilst watching the Hunter sunsets. To ensure your comfort the property features three rooms (Lounge, Bed 1 and Bed 2) that are fully air-conditioned, and fans are installed throughout.
With two wonderful cellar doors, concert pick up at the front gate, and bike hire all within walking distance of Hillcrest House, your activities and wine tasting are only moments away. Hillcrest is the perfect choice for your next stay in the Hunter.
Please note, Hillcrest House has exterior security cameras to monitor the exterior of the home only for the protection of the property. Security cameras are commonplace at many of our rural properties. Footage is private and remains the property of the owner, and will only be used for insurance liability reasons, to monitor occupancy and other policies noted in our Terms & Conditions. They, in no way, are there to infringe upon the expectation of privacy of guests in these exterior areas. To disable or obscure the cameras is prohibited and may result in loss of security deposit or eviction.
