Carol & Peter made us feel right at home, we thought we were staying with family we felt so relaxed. The breakfast is amazing and the cakes are so good you have to try... More

My partner and I stayed at Thistle Hill (in the guest house) last weekend and I cannot speak highly enough of our experience. The location is superb. Set back from the road on a gorgeous property, with beautiful rose gardens - it is picture perfect and blissfully quiet. Carol and Peter, the hosts , have thought of everything to make... More

We booked the cottage because it was the last available room at Thistle Hill, but worked out perfectly because we were 2 couples. What a lovely place! The price was comparable to booking 2 individual rooms, but the cottage felt so much more like a home. The grounds are beautiful, and Carol was such a lovely host. The included breakfast... More

A delightful, elegant place to stay & unwind after 2 weeks of hectic sightseeing in Sydney. Carol & Peter are such welcoming hosts, the attention to detail and the breakfasts are superb. Well worth the drive from Sydney. Next time we are in Australia we will certaunly try to include Thistle Hill in our itinerary.

We stayed at the beautiful Thistle Hill in November, and have taken a while to write a review but finally have a moment to do so. What struck us first was the peaceful setting and the beautiful french style of the property. On being shown to our room we were delighted by such attention to detail and how gorgeous and... More

A home away from home. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming, and Peter especially entertained us with his anecdotes and ridiculous sense of humour. Carol prepared scrumptious snacks and meals for us every day, so that when it came time to leave, we were hard pressed to go.

My Wife and I spent four nights at this wonderful establishment last week and felt totally spoilt by the owners Peter and Carol. The rooms were very comfortable and beautifully decorated and upon our return each afternoon we were pampered with special treats, which included wine and cheese, as well as freshly baked chocolate brownies and cup cakes. Breakfast was... More
