Guest Reviews
- Nicola (10/5): Cosy weekend getaway - Such a wonderful stay at Hillside. Perfectly placed just on the edge of town but an easy walk into the Main Street. Joy was very welcoming, cottage was beautiful and clean, lovely sitting around the log fire in the evening and pet friendly which was great for us! Nothing.
- Suzanne (10/5): It was easy to get to, had a very relaxed feel and I have already recommended it to other friends - I loved the location,the decor, the bed, the shower. Nothing
- Liz (9/5): -
- John (9/5): Very comfortable. The decoration of the room clearly took a lot of work by someone. -

- Michael (10/5): Joy was extremely friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay. -
- Rebecca (9/5): - The location was beautiful and tranquil while still being so close to town.
Joy was so helpful and accommodating - it really felt like home away from home for the weekend The microwave, oven and stove top were a little tricky to figure out.
- Annalisa (9/5): Lovely place to relax - Great location, lovely host. We loved walking around the property and all the little details hidden everywhere in the garden Dining chairs were old and unconfortable; the bed in the Lee Edward room was also unconfortable and sinking

- Kevin (9/5): Hillside, Emily Edwards room - Love the area Hillside is. The Emily Edwards room was spacious, Nice to see the little extras like milk in fridge, chocolates. Joy was very welcoming. Personally, I would have like the bed to be firmer, no mattress topper. Need solar lights along the long driveway, as we walked down to York and came back in the evening and it was very dark.
- Jelena (10/5): -
- Eileen (10/5): Great accommodation, friendly host and idealic setting - Very comfortable and very serene.

- Kin Hang (9/5): Good stay in a cozy old cottage - The host Joy is very helpful and friendly, she even gave us a box of chocolate as a gift.
The place is huge and we had a peaceful morning walk around the field in the morning.
The cottage is big, the furnishing is old in a good way that reflecting the rich history of York and the place. The wifi is not stable. The host said it is temporarily due to an update in town.

- Doris (10/5): -
- MaryAnne (10/5): Wonderful peaceful Retreat getaway! - We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Hillside Country Retreat. We booked an ensuite room and were impressed with the room size. layout and the facilities. There was a cozy fire with plenty of firewood, outside table and chairs to appreciate the lovely surrounds, fridge and microwave and lovely sitting area. The room was furnished with period pieces and had a lovely ambience. The bed was super comfortable. The retreat is very close to town but we loved that we were just on the outskirts of town as the peaceful surrounds and farmland hills were a bonus. Joy was very easy to correspond and communicate with. We would definitely return again.
- Shaun (10/5): -
- Helena (7/5): - The fireplace and quick drive to Avon Terrace pubs and cosy cottage atmosphere - furnishings fitted perfectly (but not my style). Nice having animals around - very quiet area for a good night's sleep! Just as well Owner is helpful - you need to be shown where the cottage is behind a barn. Very dark at night: I wouldn't walk around at night. Maybe too quiet for some.
- Margaret (10/5): Character cottages in peaceful rural setting! - Hillside Country Retreat was superb. Joy welcomed us warmly and was very hospitable. My son and I each had a very comfortable bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a cosy living room with a fire and plenty of wood, a well-equipped kitchen/dining room and and outside tables & chairs. In a lovely country setting with gardens all around, we were able to relax and come and go as we pleased. Nothing
- SANDRA (9/5): Lovely venue, staff. Enjoyed the wood fire heater - Peaceful
Cottages lovely Mattress is really bad - lopsided.
Needs replacing!
Both my husband & I suffered bad back ache after sleeping on their mattress
- Carol (10/5): Very enjoyable stay. - Not Applicable Nothing
- Nottle (10/5): - Exceptional service. Friendly and professional. The cottage was well appointed and pristine. We loved every moment.
There was nothing lacking. It felt like a home away from home. Nothing not to like!
- arlette (10/5): - The owner was super accommodating and kind, giving it an extra touch Nothing
- owen (10/5): - Lovely comfy bed and the wood fired stove was excellent
- Hancock (9/5): I would definitely recommend Hillside Country Retreat to families visiting York. - We stayed in the 4 x 2 cottage. The cottage was a great size for our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids). The beds were comfortable. The fireplace kept the cottage nice and warm. The cottage is located only a minute or two from the town centre. We enjoyed perusing the surrounding gardens and canola fields. Joy was a welcoming host. We would have liked a few more items in the kitchen including some plastic plates, bowls and cups for the kids, a non-stick frypan, cooking oil and baking paper.
- David (9/5): - Relaxed and convenient to township and staff where friendly and courteous
- Denise (8/5): -
- Deborah (10/5): Girls weekend - This was an exceptional place to stay. We were a group of 3 & all of us were blown away with the chalet, location, property & Joy. There was nothing we could fault. I will be bringing my husband here for a getaway very soon. Love this place. Absolutely nothing.
- Rmoseley (9/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): Beautiful getaway in a cute chalet - It’s a beautiful farm with a gorgeous self contained cabin that had everything we needed including a fire place. So perfect for a winter getaway. Nothing
- Cat (10/5): Great country winter retreat for couples and their dogs - Very cute, warm, cosy and comfortable country retreat at a very fair price. Super clean, hard to believe pets are allowed as our room was impeccable. Spa bathtub, good size fridge, walking distance from town centre, super comfy bed and quilts. The only suggestion would be to have a couple of boardgames rather than DVDs.
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Joy made us feel very welcome. She showed us round and explained everything.
The cottage was very cozy and well equipped. The fire was laid ready to go. The bed was comfortable and had an electric blanket, which was most welcome.
Our little dog Stellar had a lovely time in the secure garden.
- Marissa (10/5): Highly recommend staying at Hillside. I honestly can’t fault it. Hands down one of the very best holiday experiences I’v - The property is absolutely stunning and the hosts are just wonderful! Our kids had a blast and we were more than comfortable in our cozy, very well equipped little cabin.
- Katherine (10/5): It was an escape to a different life where the only demand was to tend to the fire and listen deeply - Great location, my dog and I walked through the paddock (not on the crops) and could walk into town and explore. There is no need for a speaker for music as the sound of the birds singing and the fire crackling is breathtaking. I will be coming back as our little solo getaway. Nothing it was so quaint and escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
- Alastair (9/5): Great place for a quiet excape from the city - Nice quiet location, well appointed and equipped cabin. Everything met or exceeded our expectations

- Kevin (8/5): Very good -
- Linda (8/5): A little slice of heaven - We love this little piece of heaven and return again and again. This stay, we booked late and do got a unit without a kitchen and this makes a big difference to us. Sadly there was also a very noisy family in the big house so we would check that next time.
- Keith (8/5): Enjoyed it emmencely - Peacefulness
- Jennifer (8/5): Enjoyed it - Na Hot water very slow
- Blake (8/5): Very good -

- Beverley (9/5): Superb - Beautiful well kept house, plenty of room, very comfortable beds.
Closed in verandah was great as we had our 2 year old grandson with us.
Aircon worked well and kept us cool as the weather was very hot.
- Darren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marano (9/5): My dog and I had a lovely 5 day stay, views and walk trail was really nice. Would definitely say again! Joy was very fri - I really liked how there was privacy even though the other cottages are a walking distance I didn’t like that there was these little painful prickles in the garden, however this would be unavoidable due to nature!
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Location to town close but far enough away, quiet and secluded, facilities were great.
- Richard (9/5): Excellent Accomodation - Hillside Country Retreat is in a quiet location just outside town. There is a mixture of properties and ours was very clean and contained a full kitchen with cooker as well as a separate bedroom and bathroom. The owner, Joy, and her handyman Michael were very kind and helpful. We only stayed 2 nights but could have stayed more.
- Jayden (10/5): Memorable experience staying here, the host Joy is lovely, approachable and has fantastic communication :) - Gorgeous cabin with wonderful history
- Scaddan (8/5): Very good -
- Meveen (9/5): Superb -
- Dudley (8/5): Excellent stay - A restful stay, which was what we wanted after a long flight from the UK. With all the facilities we needed.
- Hazel (8/5): Joy the owner was a joy and the chalet was perfect for us and would stay again if in York. - Very clean, comfy lounge suite, cooling, comfy bed with crisp white sheets, shower was hot and water pressure wonderful. Kitchen facilities was just right for us to cook a meal 🤗 Nothing really. Internet was patchy sometimes but that was not the fault of the accommodation. We were in the country after all and the connection tower was 25 minutes away. And anyway, we more than survived!
- Julius (8/5): Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was one of serenity and peace. - The accommodation met all expectations. Toilets and kitchen areas were clean. There were ample cutlery and facilities to meet our needs. The rooms and living areas were also spacious and designed to a very Victorian taste. There was also a comfy patio area and BBQ facilities to match. Our host, Joy, greeted us upon arrival and was a pleasure to chat with. The accommodation is set in a rather harsh dirt terrain and may not be conducive for much outdoor activities especially over the summer months. However, there are good picnic spots a few minutes drive from the property.
- Janine (8/5): Very good -
- Thum (8/5): Short sweet and pleasant - The quaint cottages were very well maintained and varied of amenities provided to cater for family of all ages including extra towels and board games.
Joy ( the owner) is also very accomodating with pets. She had thoughtfully barried surrouding cottages to prevent little pets from taking off their own adventure as you are busy relaxing enjoying the surroundings. Nothing that i didn't like but can be improved with a swimming pool facility to cater for summer vacation at York.
- Alison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francis (10/5): Exceptional - lovely cute cottage. nicely equipped. very peaceful and quiet. only thing I didn't like was how close the cottage was to another cottage right in front. so no views of the paddocks or grass. also the toilet was very old broken knobs and had a strange odor
- Elayaraja (10/5): York Visit - The togetherness we spent family time was so valuable and Hillside made it beautiful.
the host Joy was so friendly, loving and caring as she provided amazing hospitality. it was our 1st getaway with out 6 months old Husky and Hillside accommodated us well with pet friendly accommodation. All in all 5 star. Well we felt spring would be awesome to visit York to enjoy the wildflowers and greenery as summer is dry. Furthermore 2 days layover would be good enough as not much to do around the area.
