Howell Hills

We had a beautiful time at this property. It was our first extended family getaway in 7 years and our time was very memorable. We loved that there were multiple spaces we could gather together, watch movies, play games and marvel at the stunning view! Wish there were more toilets, but would highly recommend.

The property was amazing with ample spaces for a group of 8 adults to lounge around while enjoying each other's company. The views are incredible, especially for a bunch of craft beer enthusiasts who got to enjoy taking in the hop fields that were just across the valley. The house is neat and tidy with pretty much everything you need to keep a group going. We cooked numerous large meals in the large kitchen and a couple outdoor BBQs didn't go astray either. Martina was great too, all the information we needed was provided without any troubles whatsoever.Highly recommend staying here and we'll likely be visiting again next year!

A beautiful place to stay with amazing views. House was clean, well appointed and everything has been provided to make guest stays very cosy and comfortable. Spacious with the additional living space and TV area. The wood fire added to the relaxed ambience. Excellent communication. Host /Property Manager was very quick to respond to queries.
