Clifftop at Hepburn

We Loved the villa it was very luxurious and we received complimentary champagne which as really lovely , however the communication from owners was not great as it stated on web Page when booking check in was at 2 pm but then recieved an email saying it is 3 pm check in .Would have been lovely to have 11 am check out as we were rushed to get out at 10 am being told cleaners would be waiting to get in there to clean . Would happily stay again in the future if it was later check out time .

loved the experience. its romantic and great for families alike. The view is amazing, - The bathrooms are very nice, with a great jacuzzi and 2 showers in one and a very nice bath tub in the other. - Both bedrooms have a great view. - Sitting areas are comfortable. - and everything else works well. great wifi (important because Daylesford has poor 3G connectivity), great kitchen, Tesla charger (if you need it) and lovely fireplace - Overall a great experience.

We stayed at the Sahara villa. I’ll start with the positives - The view and location is beautiful, the snacks were also a lovely touch and the decor is lovely. However, There were only two towels for a three day stay for two people and no washing machine. The back screen door fell off with the wind. The glasses weren’t clean. The place makes so much noise at night, I’m guessing from the wind blowing through it, that we couldn’t sleep and there is no blind on the massive upstairs window so as soon as the sun rises, you have the sun shining directly at you so no chance of a sleep in. The wifi was also intermittent to the point that we couldn’t get through a movie. I wouldn’t recommend staying at the the Sahara villa.

5 years ago we looked at booking Clifftop at Hepburn for a special treat and it was booked out a year in advance… this time we booked in within a month and we can see why there was so much availability. We are so utterly underwhelmed and disappointed! My partner booked a weekend in the Paris villa, with ALL the extras! One of which being the Lovebirds Romance Package a described as “A romance package of George Clooney proportions…” It was more like Adam Sandler proportions! As purchased, on arrival, there was champagne, strawberries, roses, chocolates, however NO hot bath, NO music, NO mood lighting and NO plus much more… did we really receive half of our package? Yes we did! Let down, but moving along, we began to notice how dirty and worn the Villa was. I don’t think a duster has been used in this place for months!!! Dust and cobwebs were everywhere, plus dirty wall art, grotty walls and a half cleaned bath. What a turn off! Rugs are so worn and daybed cover comes off at the sides. Onto the bed… Extreme discomfort!! Unless you enjoy rolling into the middle of the mattress, this was the most uncomfortable nights sleeps we have ever had. So bad that I tried to sleep on the couch at one point. Plus the bed is advertise as a king, smallest king bed we have ever seen. Two nights on this bed has resulted in very sore backs. We had to replace the batteries in the fairy lights above the bed to see the effect as originals were flat. One cheese knife available to use with the platter we purchased as an extra (that we had to make ourselves) and nothing sharp to cut salami etc. Kmart mugs for coffee, not enough toilet paper, one towel each for the whole weekend.. The view was ok, but nothing special! Was this luxury and worth $500 a night alone in accommodation costs? HELL NO!!! Do we wish we stayed somewhere else with pure luxury?? HELL YES!!! Will be we back? HELL NO!! Have we contacted the owner regarding these issues? HELL NO! Read the other reviews and you’ll understand why!

After following Clifftop on socials for some time I decided to take my wife to skybarrel for our 10th wedding anniversary it did not disappoint The views were absolutely amazing second only to the condition of the incredibly designed masterpiece of a villa Upon arrival it was pleasant to see a beautifully maintained property a credit to the maintenance team The hosts could not have been better to deal with they truly went above and beyond to make our stay amazing I would highly recommend staying with Clifftop my only hope is my travels take me to Daylesford in the near future so we can try the incredible looking villas next

It’s not worth the money, very disappointing service, they will ask you to wash your dishes before you leave or they will charge you for it. Very average accommodation, it’s basically located on an a residential street with average views that you can see from anywhere in any country town. the most disappointing part is the lack of privacy ZERO privacy. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Amazing, i would recommend Clifftop to everyone. We stayed in Jamunji. The worst thing about staying here was leaving! The outdoor bath was sensational. A great place to just relax and escape the day to day.

Property was nothing special, very basic and hardly the ‘luxury’ accommodation it’s billed as. Photos make it look a lot nicer than it is in person. Not worth the price they charge at all. Wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Amazing accomodation , while it maybe in the center of town and other villas close by this accomodation feels like you are secluded and the serenity is as amazing as the outdoor bath (I need one at home ).. Owners really made check in a breeze and check out . Loved everything about our stay at the samurai villas can’t wait to try all you other venues. Thanks for making our wedding anniversary special and one to remember
