Guest Reviews
- Anna (10/5): -
- Vicary (10/5): Amazing, ethereal and natural! - Relaxing. Tastefully decorated. High ceilings gave it that open and welcoming vibe. Connected to outdoors. Fantastic welcome pack! Off the beaten track.
- Skye (10/5): - The house was so spacious, clean and had everything that you would need for a girls weekend, multiple family getaways or friendship groups.
Kangaroos every morning, and a huge variety of birds in the trees and on the grounds.
There are football fields of open space for a walk around or outdoor family activities.
The fireplace is tranquil and in an ideal spot for laughs and conversing.
The bathrooms are huge and the spa bath is such a treat for a night time or a day soak with a view.
Plenty of spaces to do our make up or facial routines with vanity stations and great natural light.
We added on some massages as a treat and the massage therapists were incredibly professional and made everyone feel very relaxed. I personally was so relaxed my voice went down a few octives after and I did request if my massage therapist could come home with me but of course that would not be fair to others, so I highly recommend booking an in house in treatment aswell.
Overall an exceptional place to celebrate coming into my 40's and Damien was very accomodating to help make it a super special birthday weekend.
I think it does not need to be said but I will definitely book again . The drive in to get to the retreat is typical of a place of rest and relaxation away from others so just drive slow and be aware of your surroundings.
- Tracey (10/5): Great space, well maintained property, privacy and peaceful location - Great space, well maintained property, privacy and peaceful location
- Jay (10/5): Weekend gateway - I loved the location, peaceful out of town if you really want time to yourselves, no noise. The house is big and can accommodate a group or family and also fully equipped with everything you may need in the kitchen. Damien was welcoming, and gave us a prepared snack hamper, that was kind of him. I can't fault anything
- Rebecca (10/5): Cosy and warm - Everything from the wildlife, being secluded from everything, cosy and warm house, a welcoming host and a cute little cat There was nothing to dislike to us
- Leigh (10/5): Will be back for sure - Loved the location, only 5 minutes from town, but feels like miles away. So peaceful

You are surrounded by the most beautiful scenery and wildlife in the most peaceful secluded setting. We couldn't fault it. Would recommend and will definitely be back. Having to leave this retreat to go home🤣

Damien is a wonderful host and left a gorgeous hamper for us on arrival. We booked in house massages and had dinner delivered through a caterer recommended by Damien. Can’t recommend more. Just wish we could have stayed longer!! Thanks Damien :)

- Sarah (10/5): Stunning! - Gorgeous and spacious Nothing
- Sally (10/5): Spectacular location and property which makes for an enjoyable stay - We received a lovely little hamper of local goodies on arrival. The house was beautifully designed and very unique. We loved sitting by the beautiful fireplace which, might I add, had the kindling and logs already set up for us to light on arrival. Our host was friendly and very helpful. We had a friendly visit by his beautiful cat who, I must warn you, will want to be admitted, patted, and fed...! We didn't mind though because we like cats. Be careful how your GPS tries to take you to the property. Mine took me some back way on a very unsuitable road! Our host explained a more use-friendly way to get to the property which worked a treat so if you aren't confident ask before you go!

It’s earthy and calming with lots of space for a fabulous group getaway. And you can book in house massage treatments to make the most of the space and relaxation. The hamper on arrival was a gorgeous little surprise that everyone got to share.
There’s also a gorgeous little cat to make the stay a little more homely for the cat lovers haha.
Overall it’s a beautiful place to stay. Damien was helpful and great with communication. I booked a treatment at Arinya and Sonia was beyond fabulous, undoubtedly the best massage I’ve ever had. And she went above and beyond to make me comfortable with my pregnant belly. Really not much to fault. Maybe some fresh milk in the fridge would have been nice.

Had massages in house. Really lovely not having to drive to and from treatments Maybe some mattress toppers on the beds will make them a little more comfortable
