Lovely place! Exactly as described and very nice. Didn’t have to message the host once! Small warning: the house does not have AC. We went in the fall, so it wasn’t too bad, but I’d imagine that it could get brutal during the summertime. Overall, fantastic experience and a wonderful place with a beautiful view.

We had a wonderful stay at the Home on the hill. Perfect place to relax as a group and take in the views. This lovely home has everything you need and is comfy and cosy. We loved the movie room too!! Would definitely stay here again if we had the chance. Thank you

We had such a great stay at this house! It was super spacious and had a welcoming feel. There were plenty of games and puzzles to keep everyone entertained, which was a nice bonus. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and made us feel right at home. Kate was great with communication - clear instructions and quick to respond if we had any questions. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was some confusion with the directions to the home and lock pad, as I just went off the information that was on the main site including door lock pin (2424tick) & didn’t realise the inbox messages were updated information in the rush of trying to find the info upon arrival. Kate was helpful in getting us there in the end and noted not to use google maps next time! LolThe house was beautifully spaced and the movie room was such a great feature for everyone. The outdoor area was enjoyed by the kiddies morning and night and being gated we could relax too. Would definitely love to come back with all our family to enjoy this home on the hill again.
