Everything has been meticulously thought of. We enjoyed tennis & our kookaburra friend too. Thank you. Spa wasn't as hot as 35C as mentioned.
- Yolande (8/5): -
- Julie (10/5): Absolute Bliss!! - Absolutely love staying at Clarendon forest retreat, this was our fourth time back here and it never disappoints. This time we were here amidst the floods but Clare and Shaun couldn’t have been more accommodating or thoughtful keeping us up to date with flood warning info and allowing us early access and late check out if needed. The house was lovely and warm and cosy by the fire and it was just the break we needed. Thank you so much, we will be back!

- kim (10/5): Fantastic family Christmas. We all had a lovely time..... thank you to our wonderful hosts♥ - Location was beautiful, serene, peaceful, seculded. The only sound was bird calls. Facilities were second to none, spa, pool, tennis court. Plenty of room for cricket. BBQ on balcony in two of the three houses we occupied. Not the fault of the resort but that gravel road access is a bit tricky.
- VENKATA NAGA DEEPAK (10/5): -
- Rania (10/5): Peaceful - We loved the peaceful serenity of this place. The family loved the peace and that you can choose between relaxing or being active. It was the first time bringing our dog on a holiday and it was perfect. Definitely will be coming back and doing it again. I loved the bird watching especially our kookaburra who was around everyday.
- Shirley Harris (8/5): Waterlily Chalet accommodation, view and location was amazing! Clare & Shaun were extremely helpful. - The location was beautiful! The original cottage we were booked into had a terrible smell about it, it was also older and more tired than we expected. However, one call to Clare & Shaun and they accommodated us in a different villa which was absolutely amazing. The Sanctuary which we were originally booked into was well below expectation and disappointing.
- Michelle (10/5): -
- Jo-Anne (10/5): Really wonderful. - Serenity! Very spacious and comfy accomodation, loads of space and facilities for sporting activities - cricket, volleyball, badminton, tennis etc Nothing. 2 nights not long enough!

- donna (10/5): -
- James (10/5): Very happy - I booked for two nights, and I would love to go back for a longer stay in the future. I was looking for a peaceful weekend away to unwind and distance myself from my current environment for a little bit, and this i definitely got. No complaints, I 100% enjoyed my stay.

- Josh (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location, the serenity was amazing. Perfect short getaway for a young family.
- Michael (10/5): The most relaxing and peaceful holiday! - We had the most amazing time at the Clarendon Forest Retreat. We stayed in the Sanctuary house. The peace and quiet, sitting looking over the hills in the afternoon, and relaxing in the hot tub was so what we needed.
Also, one of the highlights was when we were in the local corner shop, we were sharing with the lady at the cash register that we were staying at the Clarendon Forest Retreat and the gentleman behind us was the builder of the house!
We highly recommend this place!

All in all it was an amazing experience and we can only recommend!

- Ye (10/5): - When someone uses the upstairs bathroom, it is very noisy, but the environment is excellent and it's good place to relax.
- Tyler (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the property. We stayed in the Chapel which was a unique and charming place to spend the night. The 5-6km of dirt road from the highway was a bit tricky but not a big deal.
- Melissa (4/5): Disappointing - The location was lovely
- Caoimhe (10/5): Will definitely visit again. - It was perfect for a stopover on the way back from Gold Coast. Clean, cosy and the scenery is so beautiful. Loved the views from the deck - great sunset. Pretty long dirt road - we didn’t mind in our 4x4 but in a small care I probably wouldn’t have liked it.
- Andrew (7/5): Perfect getaway for adventurous and sporty people - Jacuzzi was nice
Beds comfy
Best air con so far I found whilst on holiday
Peaceful location
Good kitchen
Lovely bathrooms Noisy water pump situated under property (directly under bedroom) seemed to randomly come on during the night even if no one went to bathroom. Would be better located away from sleeping area and in a noise insulated box as very noisy
- Evelyn (10/5): Second visit great dog friendly accomodation -
- Nancy (10/5): Exceptional - Clear instruction. Beautiful house. Quiet and tidy
- Sadiksha (10/5): Exceptional -
