This place is fantastic!

This place is fantastic!! The staff here are too good. Cathy and Rob do a great job, they make you feel welcome and go the extra mile to make you comfortable. They are very professional and they do want the guests to have a good experience. They are best!

We will be returning

We have just returned home after a wonderful weekend at Chestnut Hill Conference Centre with our craft group of 12 ladies. Our hosts Cathy and Rob were perfect hosts. Thanks heaps.  Meals were wholesome, homemade and plentiful.  The accommodation was fabulous..very relaxing. Value for money. Will be returning in the near future.

Highly recommended!

What an exceptional place!! If you need somewhere for a conference, retreat or perhaps a family reunion, this place is ideal. I have been holding a six day live in course training funeral celebrants since 2012, usually twice a year. Catherine and Robert, the hosts, could not make you more welcome. With 11 bedrooms (all with ensuites) they can accommodate up to 30 but mine is a maximum of 11, which means everyone has their own room and space. The meals are gourmet and plentiful, although my waistline does tend to expand further with each visit!  Cannot recommend this highly facility highly enough!!
