Perfection personified - total romance in pure luxury at the Clifftop

We have travelled to many places, and stayed in many amazing luxury motels and boutique accommodation, but all pale in comparison to the amazing villa we stayed in at Clifftop at Hepburn!! You can sense the absolute passion the owners, Dave and Mani, have for their villas. Nothing is forgotten, and everything is considered. We stayed in the Paris villa this weekend, and the experience, from when I first spoke to David on the phone when booking, through to when we sadly had to leave, was just perfect. For our stay I added in the Lovebirds package and platter package. Each were amazing value and totally enhanced the experience. The floor to ceiling glass walls offering unparalleled panoramic views and was accompanied by a glass floor section (which Dave went to the effort of making a lovely heart shape out of red rose petals). The mood lighting was gorgeous and also adjustable whenever we desired. There was a beautiful log fire burning when we entered and a bottle of Moet on ice as well! To top it off lovely chocolates, strawberries and cherries were sitting there surrounded by rose petals as well. Talk about setting the scene for a beautiful romantic weekend!! The bath is the most extraordinary timber bath I have ever seen, and large enough for even me to fit in (I am 6'2)!! There is sparkling water, biscuits, noodles, chips, cereal and milk and nespresso coffee, so the only thing you need to leave your villa for is lunch and dinner! Having said that, the cheese platter was the most beautiful way to spend an evening in our luxury villa with a glass of wine!! There is even an instant camera to take some shots of your stay and a state of the art massage chair to unwind in!! I don't want to miss talking about the bed either, with such a soft pillow top, it was a dream sleep every night!! By far, this is the longest review I have ever done, and I still don't feel like I have done it justice. It was truly the most inspiring, romantic, luxurious stay we could have dreamed of, and we cant thank both Dave and Mani enough for their attention to detail, for truly caring about our experience in the villas, for their advice on dining locations, for their passion in presenting such a beautiful setting for our romantic getaway and for providing us with such an unforgettable weekend. There really is no other place that will measure up to Clifftop at Hepburn!!

Best accommodation we've ever stayed in.

My partner and I stayed at Clifftop Hepburn (Paris room) for our anniversary and hands down, it was the best decision. It is obvious to see that the owners have placed a lot of attention to detail from the colour changing lights, to the massage chair and the floor-to-ceiling window/floor. Not to mention the PS4, speakers & the biggest TV i've seen in my life. David offered to take us through the container and showed us how to work all the gadgets etc, told us where to eat and answered all our questions. Definitely worth the money! Will absolutely stay here again

Incredible!

My fiancé and I stayed in the Paris villa and it was honestly incredible. The view from the windows/glass floor was amazing and the massage chair had heaps of different settings to suit different preferences. The location was also great as it was close to shops and restaurants (a few minutes drive) but far away enough to feel secluded, peaceful and away from the bustle of the town. Thanks again to David and his family for a great experience - we’d love to come back again one day and try one of the other villas! Would definitely recommend the Paris villa to anyone wanting a romantic weekend away.

First class fitout, very pleasing to the senses.

I booked this for my wife’s birthday surprise, to say she loved it would be an understatement. Great place for that special getaway.

Luxury and Serenity at its finest

We opened the door to our villa to beautiful views, lovely music playing, and a cold bottle of wine ready to drink and felt immediately at home. We fell asleep on a bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud, listening to the soft trickle of water running over rocks below us. We bathed in a beautiful wooden bath as we watched cows feed on the hills opposite and woke to the view of Wallabies and Rosellas' feeding in the fields. We enjoyed many massages on our massage chair, and drank and dined in the great restaurants that are just a few minutes away. Really sad to leave after such a relaxing few days in the Paris Villa. Its obvious the owners are very passionate about providing the best experience for their guests and I highly recommend the experience.

Highly recommend Clifftop to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway from city life.

My husband & I stayed at the Paris villa for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The interior was stylish and views from the floor to ceiling windows were amazing. The massage chair was also a great addition! We will definitely love to come back in the future & recommend Clifftop to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway from city life.

We highly recommend this gorgeous place

one of the most amazing places we ever stayed in. From the easy booking process through to the ease of getting into our Villa for the night, we were constantly delighted with all the special details and little touches. The view from the floor to ceiling windows and glass floor was enough to make us imagine that we were in a truly wild place even though there is a street outside and hotel down the road. The view grabbed us on walking in, and then the massage chair was the next thing to try. Boy oh boy, we might have to invest in one of those.... The decor is tasteful and the automated music, very large TV and ever so comfortable bed made the place just wonderful to be in. Small touches like robes and slippers and chocolate and sparkling wine in the fridge were just perfect to enhance the already romantic mood. Last but for me maybe the very best part was the amazing bath! Wooden, silky smooth to the touch, long enough to take my very long legs full length and deep enough for a truly decadent bath! David and Mani, you have created an amazing space for relaxing. We highly recommend this gorgeous place and will return again and again.
