Great Property

Everything was easy from booking to arriving to collecting the firewood for the week. Very welcoming of our two big dogs which had a fantastic time running around the property and our horse was very happy in his paddock. The barn is a fantastic space with a great outlook over the property. Couldn't ask for more and will definitely be back to stay next year when we are back down there. Fantasticly friendly and helpful hosts.

2Bays Ultramarathon stay

Extremely helpful hosts, Fiona and Neil made us welcome! They helped entertain my four hour old with a ride on the motorbike and showing him around the farm. A relaxing stay pre and post ultramarathon. The accom was an expected, everything you could need was there and the food basket was a nice bonus. The beds were comfortable and restful. Lovely sunny spot.

Two night stay

Our stay here was lovely and quiet which is what we both wanted. Fiona is a lovely host, easy to deal with prior, and during our stay - very welcoming. The Barn is located in lovely surrounds, had everything we needed and easy access to the Peninsula Hot Springs, Cape Schank and the bay beaches. Highly recommend staying here to explore the area.

A perfect get away!

We had such a wonderful time at Howard’s Hill! Our only wish is that our stay was longer 😊 The level of care and attention to detail really shines through, and the surrounds are simply stunning. Fiona was lovely to deal with and we felt really welcomed. Thank you for a great mini getaway!

Peaceful, bushy escape

Howard’s Hill was a beautiful, expansive place to get away from crowds. The barn is well equipped, the beds have beautiful linen and there was a very generous supply of breakfast food. The surrounding grounds are beautiful and full of gum trees. We would love to come back sometime.

Amazing mini break

We absolutely adored our little holiday. The commitment that the hosts had to the property shone through. It was the most incredible estate with gorgeous horses to say hello to every morning outside our barn. The kids had a ball and the hosts were so friendly I really felt like we were treated with such thoughtfulness and care.

Serene, picturesque accommodation full of character

What a lovely experience it was for three tired nurses needing rest, peace and quiet and some pampering. We loved the stable and loft accommodation, the beauty of the surrounds and the attention to detail. 10/10. We will be back. 💖

Great country stay!

Could not be a more relaxing place to hang out with the family. Fabulous barn and a bit of a novelty for the kids, everything provided that you’d ever need ( DVDs included) bonus points for the pony ride before we left! Great night away.

A beautiful sanctuary with warm fires, tranquility, generosity and comfort.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in such a comfortable, peaceful environment with ample provisions of fire wood, food and luxury additions such as fluffy cushions, comfortable beds, gorgeous deep bath and picturesque environment. Lovely walks on the property and gazing out at the wildlife were highlights, not to mention patting the horse and lounging in the sunshine on the deck. This unique place is carefully planned to ensure that the various spaces encourage you to relax and unwind. Love it immensely and we are grateful to Fiona and Neil for providing us with this opportunity.

Amazing farm stay in Boneo!

Howard’s Hill was the perfect Mornington Peninsula get away. The converted barn was a lovely home away from home with everything you could wish for including a generous breakfast basket. We loved sitting outside on the balcony looking out over the property, especially at sunset when the sun slips away behind the trees. We only wish we had had more time to enjoy all the other lovely seating areas outside...Fiona and Neil were the perfect hosts and made us feel totally at home on their beautiful property.

Fantastic stay. Beautiful surrounds, charming owners and access to fantastic beaches.

Our family loved staying there - a lovely house/barn, extensive grounds and beautiful landscaping. The owners are charming. The location is fantastic for access to three different coasts with varying terrains, the wineries and other lovely spots. We’ve been back 4 times so far.

Chill on the Hill

Thanks to Fiona, your property is one of the best places we have stayed at. The barn and stables are perfect for the laid back weekend birthday we were celebrating. Our Aussie Shepherd 'Rylee' loved playing with the other dogs and admiring the horses. Hope to be back soon. Cheers, David and Patsy
