Quiet, comfortable and so relaxing

Our stay @ Gracehill was amazing. Such a quiet and peaceful property with wonderful views and all the amenities one could hope for. The breakfast provisions were plentiful as was the range of snacks and nibbles for the evening by the cozy fire. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and not too hard or soft. The service from owner Betty was wonderful too. I highly recommend this property looking for a home away from home.

Recharge your batteries

Everything you could want is contained at Gracehill, the owner has thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. however...... The main bed is very uncomfortable, rather like sleeping on a sack of potatoes The mattress topper is hard, you may feel like you are up in the clouds at Gracehill but the bed will bring you back to reality!!! I didn't sleep a wink even though it was peacefully quiet, shame about the bed $255 later???? Stay here if you like hard uncomfortable beds

Family friendly stay in the Dandenongs

Our stay at Gracehill totally surpassed our expectations. The property is beautifully presented, the gardens alone are worth a visit. Our host Betty was warm and accommodating. A wonderful spread of food was provided for my family, with special consideration given to our children. There’s always pressure when travelling with small children however we were most comfortable at Gracehill. There’s even an amazing playground for the kiddos. It was a shame to leave.

Outstanding accommodation with magnificent views

It is outstanding: (a) The accommodation is of the highest quality. (b) Decoration is impressive and the beds are cosy. (c) The breakfast is also of high quality and copious quantity. (d) Limousine service to the Sky High Restaurant. (e) Everything is well thought of from a traveller's viewpoint. It is almost a perfect experience with the exception of the guest shower - it could overflow onto the bathroom floor should we not take "due care". We think it is just a minor thing that could be easily fixed.

We were warmly welcomed. The atmosphere is calming and restful. The setting is beautiful, with a lovely mix of cultivated and native plants framing inviting walking paths. We thoroughly relaxed by the fire, enjoyed the cheese and fruit platter while laughing at a film and playing board games. Sleep was cosy in the luxurious beds, and there was a good choice of brekky fare. Although not far from home, it felt delightfully far away, and forgetting city life was easy for the time we stayed!
