Hillside Carool

When we think of escaping into hinterland, we imagine expansive green hills and valleys, the ocean in shimmering distance, an abundance of fresh air, the sunrise bathing expansive farmlands into a golden light and cosy fireplaces to wind down on.Set on a hill and yet tucked away in the Northern Rivers Hinterland in NSW — Hillside Carool — a former winery, now private sanctuary and our next January's retreat home, has all of this on offer.It’s the venue’s elevated position, the expansion from a curated garden, pool and spa into rolling meadows and boasting rows of grape vines, that create a feeling of space — perfect to spend slow retreat days at. With a dedicated attention to detail, the owners created a homestead that invites to get cosy, to connect and to venture at the same time.Hillside Carool invites into a spacious home with a variety of bedrooms, multiple dining and living spaces, bathrooms, kitchen, sauna, ice bath, pool, hot tub, air-con, indoor and outdoor fireplaces.
