Very clean and spacious property. great outdoor area and heaps of condiments etc left in the kitchen for convenience. If I was to be super picky I would have loved if the water pressure was increased a little in the showers, and aircons in the bedrooms especially for the summer months but i'm being incredibly picky with that. Overall we absolutely loved the property and would gladly stay again.

Great stay

This house was fantastic for what we required, amazing area upstairs and the outside area is perfect. We didn’t use the games room but it would be fantastic if you had teenagers. Communication with the owner was great. Cannot fault this wonderful property.

We stayed at the property as a get together family Christmas. The property is very comfortable and extremely well resourced. The weather was poor but it didn’t faze us as we had plenty to do at the property. Karen was fabulous to deal with. Big thanks for the availability of your house.

Great holiday beach home

Great place. First impressions was lovely place, lovely decor, lovely touches. Everything impressed us with this place. We forgot our bogey boards ... they had them. We forgot to bring beach chairs ... they had them. And we remember most of the other stuff (aeroguard, sun screen, etc. etc.) ... but they had it just in case. Fabulous place for a week stay. Beach, cafes, restaurants, river, ... will definitely stay again!

We just returned from the most wonderful weekend at Castle on the Hill in Ocean Grove, and we’re already planning our next visit! The home itself is stunning, perched high with breathtaking views, beautifully styled interiors, and a truly unique charm that sets it apart from anywhere else we've stayed.Our family (three generations!) had more than enough space to spread out and relax. The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was perfectly equipped for big family meals, and the multiple living areas gave everyone their own space to unwind. The outdoor area was a highlight, spacious, private, and perfect for BBQs while watching the sunset over Ocean Grove. It was just a short drive to the beach, shops, and cafes, but honestly, we loved just spending time at the house soaking up the views and enjoying each other’s company.Our hosts were friendly, responsive, and clearly care about making the guest experience special,every little detail was thought of.Castle on the Hill is truly a gem, luxurious yet warm, grand yet welcoming. Highly reccomend for your next family getaway!

An Absolutely Fantastic Stay!We had a wonderful stay! The property had absolutely everything we needed and more. There were plenty of games to keep everyone entertained, including table tennis and a pool table, which were a great bonus. The beds were comfortable, and the thoughtful little extras made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The bottle of wine and nibbles were a lovely touch, and having condiments and other essentials already in the cupboard was much appreciated.The host was friendly, helpful and easy to deal with, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free.A fantastic place to stay, with so much thought put into making guests feel at home. We couldn’t fault it and would happily stay again. A well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars! Highly recommend!

A majestic holiday!

A royal experience was had when we stayed at Karen's lovely property. We were simply in awe of the amazing house, living spaced and views. Was absolutely wonderful to get away and relax on the castle on the hill. We abandoned our plans to go out for dinner and stayed in because it was just too cozy to leave. Thank you so much Karen. We will definitely be back!
