Hilldene Hotels

"Don’t let your first impression temper your expectations. Set in an old commercial/industrial area, together with the tired facade and grounds, your first thought is “oh”. But from there it is all positive - David, the owner, is extremely helpful and the renovated rooms are clean, modern and functional. You can’t expect anything more from a one night stay and after a good night’s sleep, we checked out happy with the stay."

"The room is very spacious and clean. I would highly recommend to anyone "

"Great Motel and staff"

"Clean, spacious rooms with separate dressing room which was very useful."

"The photos were deceptive making it appear that the huts were not near any other dwelling - they were only metres from the host’s home. This proximity made it impossible for privacy for guests and host. Communication from the host about their early morning (6.30am) visit from children for an easter egg hunt and family breakfast would have been appreciated. The beds were good and we let the host know we would be bringing our own sheets and pillows so they could save on washing. It lacked storage and hanging space with nowhere to put clothing or hang wet coats and towels. On a windy night the foliage near the huts banged on the walls and roofs. We later found the roof on the small hut detaching causing a draft during the night. No fly screens on the windows making it impossible to leave them open for fresh air without flies, moths and mosquitoes entering. No facilities to cook or re-heat food other than to make toast. 2 of the outside lights were not working and no pathways between the huts and bathroom or toilet. Going outside to the toilet during the night was unpleasant in the dark, cold and rain. The door to the bathroom was very narrow and we had to turn sideways to enter. The water went everywhere in the bathroom when you showered. On several days we returned from outings to discover someone had used the toilet while we gone. On our last day they hadn’t bothered to flush it. We were expecting a peaceful rural aspect. 180/night 10/night for pets was not value for money"
