Great Stay over the long weekend
Loved our stay, beautiful house and everything was very easy to use and super relaxing. Maybe a little more firewood over the two nights would have been our only thing to add. Can't wait to come back again

Hi Liz. Thank you for staying with us. We always leave extra firewood on top of the wood bin for guests and remind them know its there if they call to ask for more wood. Its difficult for us to know when folks need something if they don't ask though. Regards, Dave & Mani

Awesome Accommodation in Hepburn
This property lived up to all our expectations and then some. Luxurious accommodation- so well kitted out. Spectacular views. If you stay here - eat in - kitchen is fabulous. We bought up beautiful fresh produce from Prahran Markets and utilized all the facilities this property offers. Fireplace - sensational views awesome sound system comfy couches and window seats. Bathrooms both have deep tubs and the pinball machine was fun. Highly recommend

Really nice villa which was bigger than we expected
Really beautiful villa (evoke) in a very convenient location with stunning views. Unlike most hotel and apartment photos, the villa is exactly as described and depicted in the photos. The pinball machine was a lot of fun too. Am definitely looking forward to seeing what the other villas are like.

Absolutely amazing! Will be back soon!
Loved our stay at evoke. All kitchen equipment and cutlery is well supplied and clean. All appliances and features work well. Interior is beautifully decorated and created a great getaway. However the villa did get quite warm so air cons were constantly on and blinds were kept down which took away the amazing view. All in all, we had a great stay and will be back!

A very special place
We stayed for 4 nights in this beautiful house. The views where amazing. Due to the heat we got up very early every day to go hiking and spot for wildlife. Amazing! The hot afternoons we spent in the Spa and at the flippermachine. We loved it so much we never went out for dinner, we just didn’t want to leave. We will be back.

The most beautiful accommodation I've ever stayed in
Everything was so beautiful, clean, user friendly, and the view was spectacular! The only fault I can pick out is that the mirror and lighting in the bathroom are not that good for doing makeup. Everything else is just perfect! I would very highly recommend this accommodation to anyone!

Modern, yet homely; a wonderful stay all-round
Our Clifftop at Hepburn escape — the Evoke villa — was truly a delight. The accommodation is beautifully designed and presented, and brilliantly complements the stunning view as you walk through the door and into the lounge. We really enjoyed how each room offers a style that is both modern, and homely. Other inclusions were a nice touch not often found in other accommodation. Mani and David were very friendly and made the whole experience easy, and we enjoyed their recommendations found in the welcoming pack, especially Blue Bean Love and Cliffy’s Emporium. We will definitely visit Hepburn Springs again, and Clifftop at Hepburn will be our preferred way to do it! Thank you a wonderful stay! - Mardi and Anton

Exceptional!
Clifftop at Hepburn Evoke did not disappoint! The villa is beautifully decorated with no detail missed to ensure that you can relax and just soak up the breathtaking view. It is one of those places where you instantly feel at home and the quirky little features just take it to the next level (The pinball machine was a hit!). Lying on the day bed reading a book with the fire crackling in the background, looking out over the valley was heaven!

Amazing view
A lovely stay. Gorgeous setting, beautifully decorated. Could have used some kindling and more fire wood to make it easier to start the fire and stay warm longer as we were there for 2 nights. Pinball machine lots of fun. One improvemt could be to have something on all the windows so neighbours can’t see in eg: the long window along the kitchen . Neighbours waved to us at night through there! Comfy bed. Vases of brown water containing greenery could do with a good clean out too. Lovely place - would recommend

Thank you so much for staying with us Jill. We're grateful for your feedback but feel you've been a little bit naughty. We do say in our booking confirmation that we hope guests will call us if they need something rather than go without and complain after they leave. We do provide a good supply of kindling but we're always happy to provide more if folks simply let us know they need it. We're open until 10.30pm daily to take calls and I would have dropped off extra supplies in a jiffy if we knew you needed them. We also did leave extra firewood for you on the wood box under the villa and I would have mentioned this had you called. Rest assured that folks can't see into the living space from the kitchen window...we've checked just to be sure. We do change the water in the vases daily but we'll be sure to keep an eye out for any crud that accumulates. We feel a touch fortunate that we let you down in so many ways but you still found it in your heart to recommend us. Dave & Mani

Beautiful property, well-fitted
We stayed here Friday and Saturday nights with our daughter and her husband and were super impressed with the architectural design, lay-out and fittings. Having an ensuite in both bedrooms was a bonus we were not expecting. It was a nice touch by the owners to leave out a few goodies; bread, muesli, sparkling water and a bottle of champers in the fridge. If you stay here, make sure you bring a few cleaning supplies though like paper towel and some spray 'n wipe. The stovetop gets pretty messy to use and there was nothing to clean it with apart from a dish cloth. We were a bit disappointed to learn that our property did not have the massage chair that's advertised on the website. Only one of the properties has this and we didn't get to choose which one we stayed in but assumed they all had it. The pinball machine was fun. Look out for wildlife - we saw wallabies and kanagroos both Saturday and Sunday morning when we got up. All in all we would rate our stay a 9/10.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Kevin. We're thrilled that you had such an amazing stay. The massage chair certainly is popular. We do advertise the chair only in our Serenity villa and not the others, but we've already bought another massage chair to include in the new shipping container villas so even more folks can enjoy it. I'm ecstatic that our local wildlife came out to greet you. We normally have some paper towel for cleaning in the pantry cupboard...I'll check ti in case it was missed by us and needs to be restocked. Safe travels until we meet again. Dave

A beautiful place to relax
We spend just one night in the evoke villa but it was just perfect. Nothing could beat a quiet Sunday night in June at the Clifftop at Hepburn. Everything we needed was there and ready to go, and it felt like home from the minute we walked in. With two small children we simply strolled across the road for dinner, enjoyed a spa bath and when the kids went to bed relaxed in front of the fire. Simply perfect. Waking up to the stunning view was amazing and the amenities provided were spot on. We would have loved to spend more time, so I guess we'll have to go back!

Should be Four and a half stars. What an outstanding property. Comfort ,warmth, amenities, peace .tranquillity. .. Minor draw back ; connecting to Netflicks was dodgy. Not sure if modem works, passwords. etc. . Both my daughters tried so cant blame me for being non tech savvy. Thank you . see you next year.

I booked Clifftop at Hepburn to surprise my partner and propose to her. David and Mani were amazing in helping me plan the proposal, and recommended which villa to stay in. When we walked in the villa was decorated with candles and roses, and everything was perfect - she said yes! The view is amazing, and we will remember our stay forever. Thanks again Mani and David.

Sublime architecture with jaw dropping views
Our babymoon getaway could not have been a more perfect way to unwind. As the freezing rain speckled down outside, we simply relaxed on the couch by the glowing fireplace, enclosed by an ultra modern, yet mountain like cabin feel of floor to ceiling hardwood, with the rolling hills of the best Australian native bush beckoning at our feet. Warming to the soul and unforgettable.

A peice of Heaven in the heart of Victoria absolutely stunning 10/10
I booked this place as a birthday surprise for my husband. He was blown away by the view, architecture and ambiance of the property. Having travelled around the world and stayed in some of the best 5 star Hotels/Resorts, Clifftop is definitely up there with the best and truly the best in Victoria. In addition to the above Dave and Mani were fantastic hosts, I had added the Romance package and the Antipasto Platter - both were set up and displayed impeccably! If you had to chose one, go the Romance package it was just wow, so extra on so many levels. Coming back to the Evoke villa after dinner and having the fireplace already lit, spa filled, candles through out it was just magnificent. The chocolate fondue, strawberry's and bubbly were the perfect touch to round it all off. This place is definitely one for extra special occasions for a guaranteed wow factor. Truly a place to experience and make some great memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you Dave and Mani for an amazing experience xox
