Operating since January 1999, this Council approved, very successful lifestyle tourist accommodation business offers spectacular views from the famous landmark Mt Warning to the rainforests of Springbrook Ranges. With room for expansion, Hillcrest currently caters for 6 guests with two B&B suites in a private guest wing of the main residence, which includes spacious owner/manager quarters, and one fully-self contained Cottage in its own secluded garden.

Centrally located to a host of activities and beauty spots
Hillcrest enjoys a unique position of seclusion without isolation.
An ideal business opportunity those seeking a "tree-change" with established income

Located in the fast-growing Tweed Coast hinterland, only 35 minutes from Gold Coast airport, 75 minutes from Brisbane and 45 minutes from Byron Bay, Hillcrest has a substantial established turn-over but still offers room for expansion for someone who wants more than a relaxed part-time workload.

With sealed driveway/parking areas, 12 metre, pebble finished concrete solar-heated salt-water pool, fenced vegetable garden, established easy-care garden, chicken shed/pen, horse stables/feed shed, huge work-shed, tractor port and carport, Hillcrest is fully appointed and ready for a new owner/operator to take over and expand on an already successful lifestyle business in the fast growing Tweed.

12 metre solar-heated salt-water pool with gazebo

Currently owner-operated by a husband and wife team with no extra staff required other than a casual masseuse, Hillcrest is ideal for a couple seeking a "tree-change’ to the beautiful Northern Rivers region with an established income. However building floor-plan is such that Hillcrest can easily be reverted to a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom family home with separate self contained Cottage.

Hillcrest enjoys massive internet exposure with extensive editorial and listings on too many to list accommodation directories. Print and internet advertising is in place for both current and future seasons. Sale price includes three high ranking retail websites, plus one additional website kept exclusively to track print media advertising; copy of accreditation hand-book and time-limited training if required.
