Very relaxing few days in Sawyers Valley

Mum, Winston and I enjoyed our short stay at Hillborne Cottage. It was so peaceful and there are so many birds and farm animals to watch from the balcony. We stayed out there for hours! Inside it was so cosy with cushions, rugs, extra blankets and towels. In the kitchen no detail was missed and the milk, eggs and honey were a great addition. Thank you Melissa, we’ll be back again!

The perfect getaway

My energetic dog and I loved our stay at Hillborne. Melissa is a wonderful host and we felt very welcome. Beautiful property with plenty of walk trails and wildlife to keep us entertained, as well as many relaxing hours on the deck. The complimentary eggs and honey were a very welcome treat. Highly recommended.

Hills holiday

Beautiful view and fantastic location. Kids loved the animals and Melissa was very kind introducing us! I wouldn't take our dog next time as most of the surrounding areas don't allow dogs and that hindered us a bit. But gorgeous relaxing view, delicious eggs and honey and would definitely recommend!

Beautiful outlook and a clean and comfortable home

Melissa’s property is so relaxing and has everything you need for an enjoyable break. We really appreciated the fresh eggs, juice, milk and pod coffee supplied and found all the kitchen supplies to be high quality and clean so we were easily able to cook dinner. Melissa is generous with he time and our kids enjoyed visiting the horses and helping groom them. We hope to be back to stay again in the future.

Relaxing environment

We really enjoyed our stay over Christmas. Very nice personal touches, fresh eggs, raw honey, good quality chocolates, carton of milk and a bottle of quality juice. It was lovely having the horses infront of the property. Melissa offered to have my daughter join her grandkids in feeding them which was very kind.

Beautiful

Such a peaceful setting. Having horses visiting was a highlight. The night sky was amazing, so many stars. And there are little quendas living down by the creek (and rabbits) The house has some binoculars that came in very handy. It was extremely hot during our stay (40) - but the aircon cooled the house and bedroom perfectly. It might struggle if two bedroom doors were open.

A fantastic location!

Hillborne is on the doorstep of a network of trails for those who like to walk, cycle or ride their horse on trails away from the traffic. These same trails can take you to a choice of pubs for a drink and fab meal. The cottage is full of homely touches and is set amongst tidy paddocks grazed by horses. We thoroughly enjoyed a home away from home.

Secret Spot to Relax

What a cute little spot this place is in, just perfect for a quiet weekend away in the bush. Situated not far from Mundaring, WA, this cute little cottage had everything you need and a little deck to sit on and watch the horses play, listen to the birds, read a book and relax. Bed were super comfy, we fell asleep straight away. Would recommend. :)

Hills Getaway

A quiet cottage on a picturesque property consisting of assortment of birds and animals. The hosts live thirty metres away but are there for assistance only if needed - lovely couple. Each morning we are greeted by the hosts three horses, which graze in the numerous paddocks in front of us (balcony). A great getaway as we did from Perth metro.
