Hillview Cottage

if the weather is hot inefficient air conditioning when aged 75 & 76 unbearable heat only stay one night booked for four nights weather predictions three days 37degrees travelled 500kilometers for hot house spoiled holiday , cottage very nice but would not cool down

This was exactly what we needed. The cottage is away from main Hawker Area and feels beautifully isolated, yet close. Great space and views to the mountains across mils of bushland. Spectacular clear skies and stars overnight. Cute little puppy and sheep for company. The house is old and compact, but has everything needed. The fridge and washing machine are old but reliable (unlike modern gadgets that have limited lifespans!). Plenty of coffee, lots of utensils. Beds are comfortable enough. Good hot water for showers, but average pressure. We loved the stay and the large empty spaces around which are very relaxing. Great base to explore Wilpena Pound, Jarvis Lookout, Hawker and surrounding areas. My son also had a great opportunity for some star trail photography.Mobile phone reception is spotty and there is no wifi. We noted that Telstra was a bit better than Optus and Emily had mentioned this during the booking. She also gave us some great family options for food and activities and walks. Would strongly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to explore the Wilpena Pound area and also would like some space and solitude!

Our stay at Hillview Perfect location for our stay. The house was roomy and comfortable. The owners kindly provided a fire drum so the boys could enjoy a camp fire.

Good memory's Unreal base to explore the Flinders Ranges. Very tidy and comfortable and had all for the stay.

Good coffee pod machine Outside bbq

The cottage is a good base to explore the Flinders Ranges. It can be reached via unsealed roads only, but for those who love peace and quiet it is a gem. We loved seeing the sun rise and set over the vast empty spaces, and visits from the owners' pets.
