Hillcrest House - Pokolbin

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.

Property Reviews

Charming and comfortable

Hillcrest house is a charming and very comfortable cottage in a great location close to wineries and restaurants. The benefit of being pet friendly was great so we could enjoy our break with our kids as well as our dogs. And having a pool on site is a great amenity on those hot summer days. Communication was great the whole way through and the bottle of wine and pukara olive oils went down a treat!!

Perfect Getaway

Pool was a great feature. Perfect in the hot summer weather.

Cosy

***** Perfect house for a small group of people in the Hunter Valley with gorgeous views. The house is cosy and spacious with lovely undercover outdoor seated area.

Perfect for a weekend away

The house is perfect for a weekend away with two couples – centrally located to Hermitage, Broke and McDonald road wineries. The beds are very comfortable with nice linens and high quality coffee, tea and local olive oil and wine are provided. And it’s pet friendly!

Stunning Property

Absolutely stunning property and grounds! This is our second stay here and we love it! Very well equipped and the beds are amazingly comfortable!

Perfect house, perfect location, exactly as described and well informed about check in and check out

Only thing we are disappointed in is we couldn’t stay longer, we will definitely be back!

I hope to revisit soon

We had a fantastic stay, the house was clean and beautifully presented with all the amenities you would need. Plenty of room for six adults, and my sons loved the outdoor space with room to kick a soccer ball or just sit and chat.

Would stay again!

We had a great time with our family celebrating my husbands birthday. We loved the house but the outside space was fantastic, more than enough space for my grown up sons and partners to kick a ball and play frisbee. Was just magical watching the mob of kangaroos in the afternoon while have a drink sitting outside. Would stay again and recommend to others.

This property has a great location

We had an enjoyable stay in the Hunter and we had a good experience.

Fantastic location!

House was clean, beds were comfortable and great bbq and amenities. We really appreciated the small Christmas decorations and ornaments- classic and stylish.

Two Nights Were Not Enough

Comfortable beds.The pool was fantastic! The vegie patch was a brilliant surprise. Geoffrey, the daschund had a ball. Spacious outdoor areas. Great location amongst the wineries and very close to shops. We will most certainly return.

Hunter magic

This was such a special place to stay. Just a few minutes from the main Pokolbin wineries but away from the crowd, set amongst more interesting boutique operators. The place itself was magic. Wallabies and their joeys grazing at sunrise and sunset, and birds swimming in the dam. After a tough day eating and drinking it was a joy to come back and just sit and watch nature at its best. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Cosy and homely

Beautiful cosy house that is close to all attractions.  We will definitely be back.

Lovely time away

Had a lovely time at Hillcrest House for a weekend away with friends.

Would like to go back!

My group and I had such a great weekend away here! Close enough to everything and communication was excellent and the place was nice and tidy. Would like to go back!

The house was great

The family enjoyed a long weekend at Hillcrest House. The house was great, plenty of room both inside and out. Given that we were blessed with amazing sunshine the pool was an added bonus. The property was in great location and accessible to the wineries we chose to visit. Thanks for a wonderful weekend and enjoyable birthday.

Plenty of space for a family get together

Pool was great!

Everything we needed

We came up for a weekend stay to attend a local festival and had the best time. The house was perfect for the 6 of us that visited and having a pool in a 35° was just what we needed! Everything we needed to cater for ourselves and to sit around and socialise as a group, we had a great time! Thank you very much for everything, we had a really lovely stay!
