From the moment we arrived, we were completely blown away by the breathtaking location, world-class facilities, and warm hospitality. If you're looking for the ultimate escape into nature without sacrificing luxury and comfort, this is the place to be! This retreat has thought of everything to ensure a comfortable and luxurious stay.

• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Naomi (8/5): So relaxing, would love to return for another stay. - Stunning views, comfy bed and facilities. Very relaxing stay. Instant coffee instead of pod machine. Everything else great.
• Pam (9/5): Superb -
• Rollan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giuseppe (10/5): Too short - Beautiful location and property. Would love to spend more time there.
• Rod (9/5): Throughly enjoyed our weekend. Will stay again in the future! - Peace and quiet. Privacy. The George Forman didn’t appear to work.
• Joanne (10/5): - This lady goes beyond a host The cabin itself was immaculate clean and beautiful decor The king bed soooo comfortably We opened all the windows ( aircon available) and let that fresh air in Looked at the big sky all night under the toasty doona No need is over looked down to the insect repellent Couldn't recommend this property more highly
• Steve (10/5): Nice relaxing quiet weekend away, perfect spot & Linda was really nice & welcoming. - Great location, facilities are perfect for a weekend away. Comfy & clean. Will be back for a 3rd time.
• Wayne (6/5): - Very quiet and relaxing with lots of wildlife and bird life. The view down the valley and the morning sunrise were awesome. However when we booked with Wot-if we selected the package to include the breakfast basket for two. The Proprietors disputed this however when I forwarded a copy of the booking confirmation from Wot-if they agreed to honor the booking. We did not receive the breakfast basket as promised. I didn't take this up with the Proprietors as we just wanted to enjoy without any hassles or arguments.
• Suzanne (10/5): - Really enjoyed the ambience, particularly sitting outdoors enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine.
• Gabriele (6/5): Disappointing - Very quiet location, the cabin was private from view of the other guest cabin and main house; view, wildlife such as Kangaroos, Rabits, Birds, comfy mattress and lounge, deep bathtub option Host replenishing insect and desinfectant spray upon request Host giving a hot spot for internet, so I could work the second evening variety of info brochures Host not responding to multiple calls and messages, only responding once booking.com got involved --- and then complaining - quite upset in tone about me involving booking.com and raising cleanliness issues, telling me I knew where they lived, I should have just come up as there was no internet -(in the dark, not having been to the office or residence prior, up a dirt road on a steep hill without lights along the way - I decided to sleep early instead of working) - I believe being a guest comes with little to no inconvenience in exchange for money. And that one can rely on a provided phone number being responded to instead of copping a disgruntled host response. no internet or satellite for tv function first night, had to change my plans because of this issue and them trying to solve it uncomfortable hard dining chairs despite slippery cushions, and also very uncomfortable egg shape patio chairs not replenished insect and disinfectant spray dirty fridge shelves and surrounding floor, dirty microwave, stained and old water containing kettle, dead insects and insect poop and stains on walls, dusty, dirty windows, and tracks with old spiderwebs, dirty outdoor chair no welcome booklet with instructions, TV information had former owners contact number on
• Krystyn den (10/5): - Gorgeous view. Lovely little escape, area is so quiet and the birdlife is amazing. Cottage was very quirky with lots of special touches. Will definitely go back.
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, very private. Fantastic facilities. There were a few minor issues with the room but didn't retract from the experience. Light in kitchen was blown above the fridge area and the bathtub when filled with water sinks and detached from the tile on the wall. No matches left in match box.
• Brendan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (10/5): - A beautiful cottage on a magnificent spot with privacy, quietness, and amazing vistas across the landscape. It was truly blissful. Very generous breakfast provisions were supplied with freshly baked, home-made, delicious bread. There were fresh cookies and a variety of teas and coffees. The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished with many nice little touches that were appreciated. We saw many kangaroos and hares around the property which was lovely. We didn't want to leave and will come back and stay longer next time. It was absolutely wonderful and is located close to the town of Kingaroy where everything is available.
• Michelle (10/5): Peace of paradise - Wow! Everything has been thought through with this property. Fantastic stay quite, birds, kangaroos amazing outlook over the valley and. Lose to town. Breakfast hamper was amazing everything you could imagine, fresh juice, homemade sourdough loaf, milk, ect.. all the little touches made this a memorable stay. Will definitely recommend and stay again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The owners had thought of everything. Just amazing.
• Shannon (10/5): Charming stay - Was out towards Kingaroy for a work trip and I will never stay in town motels again. This place is charming, comfortable and safe. As a solo traveler I felt right at home. Log fire, cool mornings and wildlife to make you enjoy your work trip enjoyable. Will stay again.
• Wendy (10/5): A Truly Fabulous Experience at Deshons Retreat - The accommodation has everything you could possibly need, and it is all to a very high standard. Clean, tidy, nicely decorated and comfortable with great views. We ordered the breakfast for both mornings, and it was a delicious hamper of fresh locally produced eggs, bacon, sausages, home-made baked beans, butter and Alex’s own beautifully baked bread. Cooking this breakfast was no problem at all with the large electric frypan. The electric bbq was also terrific for cooking the best sirloin steaks ever from the gourmet butcher in town. The accommodation itself is private and has a fire box, which was not cold enough to use, and air conditioning. The big louvred windows and insect screening allow for terrific cross-ventilation and the scent of the Aussie bush to come flowing in. The bed was comfortable, and the large windows made for great views while waking up with a freshly made plunger coffee (plunger and coffee supplied). Sitting outside at night with a glass of wine was the best way to view the magnificent night sky filled with thousands of stars. We cannot recommend Deshons Retreat highly enough, and the excellent communication with, and greeting from, Alex the owner. Thank you Alex! The experience was unforgettable and will be treasured for many years. We want to return!
• RUSSELL (10/5): Switching off - Amazing little spot detached from the hustle and bustle. Beautiful!! Great host, and the warm baked bread was a lovely surprise.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful peaceful country retreat - Loved this place! Spotlessly clean, wonderful amenities, amazing views, peaceful, gorgeous décor & welcoming host! Could have stayed longer - a wonderful place to stay!
• KerriPedofsky (10/5): - A hidden treasure. The decor is beautiful. Cabins are private and very comfortable and hosts are lovely. We thoroughlt loved staying at Deshon and would recomend it if you want to relax
• Guan Zhong (10/5): - Fantastic place in the country. Beautiful view and great facility.
• Michael (10/5): Nature friendly - Amazing rooms with a view with nature
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing property. Highly recommended. Very private.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Stayed here as part of business travel. Beautiful peaceful property. Highly recommended.
• Andrew (10/5): Not just a “retreat” - With a work trip in the area and everything booked out I was hesitant to stay at a “retreat” but couldn’t have been more wrong. Arrived late and found the place with the lights on and key left out. It is an amazing self contained cabin that is welcoming and with plenty of space. The view of the stars at night is amazing and watching the sun rise across the paddock. A great place to stay for work or pleasure and will be back when in the area
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet and relaxing. Accommodation was clean andeverthing we needed.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Purple Pleasure - It was a wonderful little place, full of lovely details that draw the eye. We loved the fire which kept the place really comfortable. The tea selection was interesting and I actually a cup of tea for the first time since 2009! We really couldn't find fault at all.
• Nigel (10/5): Amazing place, amazing people - Beautful setting, tranquil, classy and oh so clean. Wonderful hosts who were amazingly helpful. We'll be back for more of this!
