- Awg60 (9/5): Superb -
- Faye (10/5): Absolutely fabulous, hosts courteous accommodation superb, gardens magnificent, views excellent, - There was no breakfast. We brought our own food and our hosts offered to go to town and buy in anything we wanted at no extra cost. Very suitable arrangement. Everything was marvellous, it couldn't have been better.
- Mary (10/5): Our stay was a perfect getaway for us to relax and enjoy all that Berry had to offer. - The hosts Anthony and Louise were very warm and friendly people. Our apartment was wonderful - very clean, spacious and stylish, with floor to ceiling windows and a large terrace with a serene country outlook. My husband and I needed a relaxing getaway - we certainly got this at Mt. Hay Retreat. The indoor heated pool and spa area was spectacular - it included a beautiful waterfall over the pool. There were so many things to love about this retreat and we will definitely be back. Thanks a lot Anthony and Louise! There was nothing that we didn't like about the retreat itself... The only thing that wasn't great was the narrow, rough road leading into the Berry township. It was a bit scary driving around some corners and hills as the road could really only fit one car and one could not see in places if there was another car coming in the opposite direction. Fortunately this hardly ever happened and when there was an oncoming car we or the other driver immediately pulled away to the side and stopped for the other car to pass. This issue did not detract at all from our wonderful stay.
- Macdonald (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you, Anthony & and Louise, for having us stay in your beautiful retreat.
It was wonderful to wake up to the amazing view from our gorgeous room.
I look forward to coming back again soon.
Thank you again, I very much appreciate your lovely hospitality.😊
- Michael (10/5): Peaceful and calm setting with all you need for a relaxing getaway. I would definitely recommend this retreat. - Amazing location with stunning views within a natural environment setting. The floor to ceiling windows treated us to viewing awesome sunrise and sunsets. Very comfortable accommodation with everything we needed. We loved the wildlife and the tranquillity. Our hosts were very attentive and helpful. Nothing exceeded our expectations.
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hira (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing weekend friendly and warm did not want to leave already planning our next relaxing trip. I honestly cannot fault this amazing resort
- Stanley (9/5): Wonderful property,lovely host and a great view from the property,fantastic pool and spa. - No breakfast included No welcome goodies on offer on arrival, a little package for breakfast could have been offered as well.
- Blanco (9/5): Superb -
- Vivien (9/5): Amazing stay, would happily come back - Very comfy, great view, spacious balcony, and attentive host make everything for a great stay Everything was great. If I had one thing negative to say is maybe to bring your eye masks as it gets bright in the morning
- Chelsea (10/5): Will be back again :) - Location, the hosts, the pool! was amazing, the bathroom is stunning, the view was breathtaking, the room all around was just breath taking. The bed was so comfy and the whole place was sparkling clean.
The hosts were amazing and friendly I loved how they made us feel relaxed and at home we felt like we had alot of privacy! Nothing !

- Niamh (10/5): Peaceful and stunning experience atop a mountain - My Hay Retreat is a serene property on top of a mountain with a gorgeous view of Berry below. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet on our balcony, swimming in the incredible pool, playing giant chess and swinging on a hill that feels like you’re flying out over the valley. I highly recommend this place for a peaceful stay.
We also booked in massages which took place in our room and was the best massage I ever had! The only difficult part of the stay is needing to leave for meals. Although this is only a 10 minute drive to Berry, which has everything you need.
- Deborah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (8/5): Very good -
- Lorenso (9/5): Superb - We stayed at Mt Hay Retreat for 2 nights to celebrate my partner’s birthday/anniversary. Anthony was very welcoming from the moment we arrived. Property was immaculate - Complete facilities with fast wi-fi. Highlight was definitely the view. Worth every buck! We’ll be back again. None
- Selby (10/5): Exceptional - Mt Hay was an amazing property. Beautiful and wonderful at the same time. So peaceful and tranquil situated high up on the hill with extensive views over the Berry towards the coast. Pool was awesome and Louise and Anthony fantastic hosts. A must place to stay..
Kindest regards
Selby and Jackie
- Joanne (10/5): Great value for a relaxing getaway with awesome views! - The Rooms were nicely furnished with great facilities and awesome views!
Great Pool, Spa & Walking track & Wildlife at times!
Anthony & Louise are lovely hosts too!
- Steven (9/5): Amazing - We really enjoyed our stay. Such an amazing outlook, a short drive from Berry and the spa/pool complex was great (especially as Mt Hay only has a small number of suites so minimal other guests and all were adults)
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (10/5): Perfection! - The most beautiful place to stay in on the hillside. Perfect self contained unit, breathtaking view, cloud soft bed. Booked for my partners birthday and couldn’t have picked a better spot. Just a stones throw from berry. Perfect indoor pool, and grounds to walk round. Total 10/10. Absolutely nothing
- Greg (10/5): Exceptional - A fantastic retreat and an ideal location for couples to enjoy a little peaceful and relaxing time together.
Our room was both very spacious and luxurious, including a huge bathroom with underfloor heating, very comfortable king size beds, 2 great places to relax and chat (1 inside and the other an outdoor verandah). Spectacular views from all areas through huge glass doors and windows that cover all of the east facing wall . Outside the gardens are well established and maintained attracting a wide range of birds and animals. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful which was much appreciated Nothing
- Mcfadden (8/5): It was thoroughly enjoyable very tranquil and relaxing. - The view and the tranquility were excellent It needs more ‘equipment’ such as cheese boards. Bread knife and perhaps a breakfast basket. Also things like a wine cooler.
- Dean (10/5): Just what was needed - Location was outstanding, and the views amazing, so private, perfect for a weekend getaway nothing really!
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lou (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Narelle (10/5): Most beautiful view! - The view was lovely to wake up to. Anthony looked after us and the bathroom was amazing. Such a relaxing weekend!
- Barakat (10/5): Exceptional - It was amazing, very relaxing. Beautiful scenery. Driving for the first time up the mountain was a surprise.
- Amanda (8/5): Very good -
- Dominique (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maria (10/5): 3 days stay felt like a whole week of relaxation. So peaceful, relaxing but close enough to shops and restaurants and na - Stunning views, heated and sizeable pool, privacy and host was very attentive. Berry Village very close by with lots of charming cafes, restaurants, shops and nature sightseeing, if one was inclined to do so. Was not anyone’s fault and it was mentioned beforehand but due to the recent heavy rain, quite a few potholes on the drive up on the private road. However, my understanding is it’s a very temporary situation.
- Luke (10/5): Bloody beautiful - Great
- Kenneth (8/5): we had a great weekend but given location I suggest they offer more services. Breakfast for example. - the location and facilities are awesome.
view is amazing
very peaceful and relaxing the balcony needs table and chairs to enjoy the view
doors and windows need fly screens to enjoy the location and fresh air without the bugs.
balcony sun lounges needed a clean
- Jewels (9/5): Superb -
- Nik (10/5): relaxing and ambient. the views and air and large spacious room and huge balconies were amazing. - amazing views and location.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (10/5): The calmness, the stunning views, the friendliness of the owners = complete package - Luckily we travelled in a 4WD as the road up to the retreat is quite steep and ruff in places. It's both bitumen and gravel.
However all that is forgotten once you reach the top. It truely was like the rest of the world didn't exist. Calm just settled over you. We own a small property out of town so it's not even the fact we were out of town, we are use to that. I can't describe it as anything else other than calm.
The view was intoxicating. Due to the privacy out there we could leave the blinds open and the massive windows were like our own private view of the landscape. From the sun rising to the storms rolling in, the rain on the tin roof to the songs of frogs at night, it just took you to another place.
The last night of our stay, after a nice hot shower, we wrapped ourselves in the robes supplied and lay out on the lounges on our verandah watching the lightening put on a mesmerising show across the sky.
The calm of Mt Hay Retreat has already got me thinking about our next stay. And the pool & spa.... sigh! Not a single thing!
- Andrew (10/5): A most delightful interlude in a busy trip - wonderful setting
peaceful location
- Debbie (8/5): stunning - perfect hideaway retreat. stunning views nothing
- Dominic (9/5): Superb -
- Emily (9/5): Superb - Mt Hay Retreat was amazing, we loved our stay. The room exceeded our expectations, the view was beautiful. Pool and spa were also great after the drive from Sydney. Anthony gave us great recommendations and was very warm and welcoming. We only wished we got to stay longer, will be back for sure!
- Matthew (9/5): Peaceful getaway - The pool was fantastic and the spa, as was the view from the huge balcony, the room was spacious and beds were comfy. The narrow bumpy road leading up to the property.
- Darryn (10/5): A perfect retreat if you need to get away from it all and just relax. - Views, luxury unit, private, clean, very comfortable, access to beautiful indoor pool, friendly owners. Absolutely nothing.
- Knife (5/5): Passable - great views! the staff were lovely. the room was a bit outdated with fairly random assortment of furniture. The bathroom overlooked a private garden but was not maintained and had empty pots sitting around, wasn’t very appealing. the private road in and out was filled with pot holes that were not well maintained.
- Charlotte (9/5): Superb -
- Bianca (10/5): Exceptional -
