- Stacy (10/5): -
- Joseph (10/5): We had a wonderful stay and went back on the road feeling completely recharged. -
- Tahni (10/5): - Our stay at Oakey Creek was amazing. So peaceful, secluded and quiet (apart from the birds of course but they just added to the atmosphere and experience). Perfect location for trips to Noosa, Eumundi, Kenilworth, Maleny, Mapleton, the list goes on. Gav was a great host and always available for questions. Bonus points for the free popcorn and oreos on arrival! Highly highly recommend
- Ashby (10/5): - This was a lovey get away for a weekend, friendly owner happy to help Nothing
- Charlie (9/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): - Oakey Creek was the perfect secluded getaway for my hubby and I to have some quiet time to ourselves. The owner Gav was prompt with info, helpful tips and good directions. Close enough to Kenilworth, state forests or a drive up to Maleny or Montville. I'm sure we'll be back again in the future.
- KAREN (10/5): Great host easy to communicate will definitely stay again. It was lovely -
- Edit (9/5): Private, hidden cottage in a bush. - Gorgeous hidden cottage next to a charming lake. It is very private. Friendly staff and comfy stay.

- Elizabeth (10/5): Excellent! - Everything about this stay was amazing! The tranquillity, location, the accomodation was beyond our expectation. Gav was extremely helpful and responded promptly to any questions we had. Loved that it was only a short distance to Kenilworth as well. Would highly recommend this stay Nothing
- Samantha (8/5): Peaceful location. Neat getaway. - Peaceful location. Beautiful wrens nesting right at the door. Advertised photos must be quite old. The property is more overgrown and not as neat and landscaped as shown.
- Justin (10/5): - Everything we absolutely loved being secluded in nature it was super relaxing The horse flies haha! But can't do anything about that
- Joel (10/5): - Lovely night away to escape from the craziness of life. Beautiful, peaceful location with a comfortable cabin- will definitely be coming back!
- Adrian (10/5): - Great cabin in the countryside.
Very clean. We enjoyed the firepit
- Joanne Tammo (10/5): Gorgeous little escape - Clean, cosy and super cute 😍 Nothing!
- Curtis (9/5): How’s the serenity - Beautiful and secluded. Tranquility and isolation (the good kind of isolation).
The place was incredibly clean and tidy. The welcome bag of popcorn was a nice touch.
Gav was very responsive and very helpful (maybe I got myself a little lost and turned around trying to locate the property hahah) but Gav guided me through.
Really can’t say enough good things about the place. Loved it. Wifi would be nice - but not essential, because I suppose the whole point of this kind of stay is to unplug and unwind.
- Anthony (2/5): -
- Shrestha (8/5): -
- Lucie (10/5): Great welcome thanks to Gav - The calm and the environment

- Stephen (10/5): We had a quiet relaxing stay and happy to recommend it to others. - Fantastic. Very private. Oh the tranquility. One of, if not the most perfect setting to switch off, relax and recharge. The accommodation was clean, modern, comfortable and focused towards relaxing. There was nothing to dislike.
- Chris (8/5): Very good -
- Matthew (10/5): Was a very comfortable stay - Loved the seclusion
- Amy (9/5): A relaxing and restful weekend in tranquil nature. - We stayed here for a couple of nights at the beginning of December. To be surrounded by nature in such a private & serene setting was exactly what we needed. Gav was very friendly and accommodating. We were even fortunate enough to see a firefly on the window one night! Oakey Creek Retreat is a beautiful place. Little touches like air con & radio on when we arrived, and fresh milk in the fridge was great! We hope to visit again.
- Jed (10/5): Beautiful welcoming getaway - The free snacks, the aircon waiting for us <3, the fact that there was reception was a bonus. And of course the fantastic setting and beautiful scenery. Lots of birds to hear and watch. And above all else, it was a wonderful quiet get away. A chrome cast or a box set with Netflix or something would be great, but obviously there was plenty to do besides watch tv! And the radio had Bluetooth anyway.
- Brigi_camino (10/5): Exceptional - Peacefull!
- Stephen (8/5): Very good -

- Peter (8/5): Excellent and peaceful stay. Will come again. - Wonderful location - quite isolated. No visible or audible sign of other human life. Very peaceful. Very friendly duck waddled up to greet us upon arrival and hung around us a good part of day, and came back each morning when he (?) saw we were awake. Enjoyed a few tit-bits of course. Next to very nice scenic pond. Nice to sit around a log campfire as the day cooled. Cabin rooms fully equipped, comfy bed. Nothing we didn't like. Only comments are that a bit of refresher could be done, especially to paint on verandah, and to garden area.
- Shane (7/5): Good -
- Bronwyn (10/5): Beautiful place to stay. So clean and well presented. A great getaway and great host. - Close to everything
Quiet and peaceful

So clean and tidy Nothing at all. It was amazing

- Brendon (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (10/5): Great remote escape from the city - Fantastic if you want a secluded escape from the city. Quiet and peaceful, great outdoor fire pit near the lake and warm inside the cabin in winter.
- Melina (9/5): Superb -
- Luke (10/5): Exactly what we were looking for; A cabin in the woods, a warm fire and distance from the city/work. - A bit more bushy than the photos. But gives you a bit more sense of isolation.
When you do want to leave isolation; Close proximity to Kenilworth Dairy (yum), Montville and Maleny.
Quite cold in the mornings; travel smart. Pack your oodies ;)
Site appears to be on tank water. Slight discolouration but no discernible "taste". Nothing really comes to mind.
- Neville (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucy (8/5): Very good -
- Rob (10/5): Incredible, cannot wait to return! - The location, the tranquillity, the peacefulness. These three factors made for a wonderful end to a wonderful trip. We couldn't think of a better way to finish our days than coming back to the sounds of the Queensland wildlife with stunning views.
- Prince (9/5): Superb - Location was prefect for a getaway retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Beautiful settings surrounded by trees, birds and a small lake and stars so bright at night.
- Alison (9/5): Superb - Beautiful little cabin, so peaceful and private. Would have been nice to have somewhere to sit by the water, but really no big deal.
- Mike (8/5): Very good -
- Stacey (10/5): Loved staying here and will be back! - Location is absolutely beautiful, very secluded. Very clean, bed was really comfortable!
- Carissa (10/5): Lovely relaxing time away in a beautiful setting. - We loved how secluded we felt. Gav was great, there was not enough fire wood so he personally delivered some. He was easy to contact and genuinely wanted to help. Unfortunately previous guests had broken the BBQ so we didn’t get to cook on one and there were a few cobwebs and some dust in the house but it just needs a once over and then will be fine. Gav did apologise for the BBQ which was lovely
- Elysha (9/5): So so Quiet. NO noise. Just the two of us. Short drive into town. - Gav was great with communication and offering help to find his secluded hideaway (Wasn’t needed though as his retreat comes up in Maps really well). There was milk in the fridge ready for us when we arrived. So quiet and peaceful. No need for music to be on.
Bottled water might have been nice. Some may be concerned about tap water?
Friendly dog visiting may be concerning for some.
Free beer would be great :) hehe
- John (9/5): Superb -
- Amber (7/5): Good - Secluded, tidy property Missing amenities - missing BBQ and outdoor seating by the pond
- Rhonda (8/5): Very good -
- George (10/5): Perfect place to recharge - Beautiful oasis. So nice to fall asleep listening to the birds, bugs & frogs. Clean and well equiped house. Good location near walks and swims as well as civilisation.

- Dragonflysusieq (10/5): Exceptional - The cabin was neat and tidy, and Gavin was extremely helpful. He was very accommodating and ensured I felt at home and comfortable. The bonus for me, the cicadas, was an amazing sound and brought back some precious childhood memories . If i had to find fault
..The taps splashed water everywhere when you turned them on too fast.
