Amazing and luxurious

beautiful surprise in a nice country town. luxurious interior decor. only comment is bathroom is not suited for older people as will need to stand in bathtub for shower , open concept. I enjoyed the wooden bathtub but did not want to wet the surroundings so was best to sit and shower. :)

We wouldn't stay anywhere else!

We were so impressed with this luxury property and both agreed this would be our dream home. Situated in the perfect spot, it was close to the main st but felt far away because of the beautiful view. Everything chosen for the property was beautiful and the bed was so comfy we didnt want to leave. The added bonuses such as chocolates and wine was much appreciated. When we return to the area we wont be staying anywhere else.

The best villa I have ever stayed at!

Honestly amazing! We stayed for a couple of nights to celebrate New Year’s and we were so amazed at how beautiful the place was. The photos are exactly what it looks like. There was a PS4 with some games already included, Bose speakers connected to Spotify, a smart TV with Netflix included, an amazing clifftop view. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Hepburn Springs/ Daylesford. And to top things off- Mani was very efficient and helpful!

This place is a must!

This accommodation was very unique, clean and a spectacular wake up to the stunning views through the bottomless glass container. I highly recommend you stay here, after only one night we felt like we'd spent a week relaxing. This place is a breath of fresh air.

Cliftop’s is absolutely beautiful!

The view was spectacular and the room had absolutely everything you need and more. The bed was super comfy and the shower is just amazing! David and Mani were so kind, bringing us some extra champagne to celebrate our engagement! The beautiful glass room was the perfect spot for a proposal! I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a luxurious yet incredibly relaxing little getaway! A place we will never forget and definitely be back to!

One word to describe Clifftop is WOW

It is 100% as amazing as you'd expect from looking at the pictures. It's as impressive as it is beautiful from the minute you open the door. Small touches like having music playing upon entry or having a chilled bottle of champagne waiting make such a big difference and immediately make a positive impact and impression which lasts throughout the stay. Location is amazing also with the residence located so central to everything you'd want from traveling to Hepburn. Trails and nature walks within minutes of the residence / town is less than 5 min drive away for coffee's or groceries you may need for during your stay. The house is so beautiful you don't want to leave and David and Mani have done an amazing job making the place pretty much self sufficient that you wouldn't need to if you didn't want to. Myself and my girlfriend agree it was the perfect trip from views - comfort - mood setting etc... Clifftop is amazing and I cannot recommend highly enough and hope to visit again in the future.

Perfect getaway!

This villa was stunning. From the obviously beautiful decor, bed and bath, the functionality of the home was amazing also. Entertainment through the PS4, Smart TV and speakers stood out, along with the customisable LED lighting. We loved our stay and found it hard to leave, definitely recommend for anyone coming up to the area!

Unique & beautiful

The accommodation & location were amazing, but the unique design, luscious interior & personalised additions made Clifftop on Hepburn a favourite destination for privacy & romance. Simply beautiful, congrats to the owners & designers for a beautiful place to relax! We’ll be back & will highly recommend to other couples.
