Hillview Farmstay

Top choice in Southern NSW & The Murray


Around 34km south of town and signposted off the Hume Hwy, these nicely turned out cottages are set on a 400-hectare farm and are especially good if you're fond of wildlife and birdwatching. There's a tennis court and swimming pool, and the new glamping tents added in 2018 are especially comfortable. Kids will love the menagerie.
