All alcohol consumed on premises is done so at own risk. Hillcrest does not take any responsibility whatsoever for injury or accident caused by or to Hillcrest guests or outside visitors either on or off the premises under any circumstances whatsoever. We recommend that outside visitors who intend to consume alcohol during their visit allocate a "designated driver" as taxis are not always available.

Strictly one couple only per room/cottage. Outside visitors are not insured for and so not permitted to use Hillcrest facilities including the pool.
