What Our Guests Say
Trusted by Schools, Groups & Families
★★★★★
“I've been coming to Hilston Park for meditation retreats over the past four years, and it truly is second to none. The accommodation is phenomenal, and the staff are so friendly they feel like family you're visiting. Hilston Park feels like a home away from home. The staff take the time to learn your name, remember you, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Their kindness and attentiveness make every visit special.”
★★★★★
“As a teacher leading this residential, I can only speak positively about the entire experience. Communication throughout was excellent, and the team were extremely accommodating. Each day was carefully planned to ensure that every moment was maximised with engaging activities such as zip lining, orienteering, archery, and climbing. The staff were outstanding — supportive, approachable, and available around the clock. Both staff and pupils have shared nothing but glowing feedback about the residential.”
★★★★★
