Room with a view or restaurant with a view, the choice is yours at Hillcrest Hotel & Mariah’s Restaurant

Heading from Taylors Road towards the beach at Kingston, you’ll notice the “Poinciana Tree” in full bloom. This is the entrance way to the Hillcrest Hotel & Mariah’s Restaurant.

Some of the Hotel style rooms at Hillcrest Hotel have recently undergone a much needed major refurbishment, making them some of the most up to date accommodation units on Norfolk Island. This is only the start of the plans that are in mind to upgrade the whole complex.

The self contained cottages have uninterrupted views of the turquoise coloured Pacific Ocean with Phillip Island in the background that can be enjoyed in peace & quiet from your own private verandah.

Staying at the Hillcrest, you have the choice of accommodation with continental breakfast included, or stay in one of their superior rooms or cottages which have fully equipped kitchens, where you can cook your own, making the most of the islands fresh local produce. There is also an inground swimming pool where you can unwind after a day of exploring the island.

Mariah’s Restaurant is open for dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 6pm, though also being able to accommodate functions such as conferences and weddings, even that special birthday party while providing that magnificent view of the ocean once again as you wine, dine and enjoy the sun setting over the ocean.

Mariah’s is also open for lunches Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays, so why not swap a day of eating in town for a lovely lunch, overlooking the manicured lawns and enjoying that calming ocean view. Perhaps you’ll find yourself in need of a drink; Mariah’s bar is open daily from 4-6pm and hosts ‘Happy Hour’ each Friday, or maybe you’d prefer to come along for a relaxing cocktail.

Mariah’s Restaurant is thrilled to be asked to assist the Norfolk Island Central School with the hospitality training for the students. Parents will be treated to nights of tasting dishes which should be a lovely experience for all.

Starting soon, Mariah’s will be open of a Sunday afternoon for all to enjoy basking in the sun orn da randah as local aspiring muso’s entertain you with a jam session.

Come along to Mariah’s on February 24^th for a themed Indian/Mongolian night! It will be a night of fun, where you’ll try a selection of Indian/Mongolian inspired food at just $30 per head. Bookings are essential, so call 22255 to secure your seat for you and your partner or party! This is the start of a regular monthly “International Night” feature night to be held.

At Hillcrest, you can enjoy the best of both worlds, a few minutes from the middle of town and a few minutes from the beach and historical Kingston, not forgetting that magical view! Staying and eating at Hillcrest/Mariah’s, you’ll know you really are in paradise!
