Guest Reviews

Stephanie (9/5): -
heather (3/5): Could not tolerate the noise from pool equipment so left a day early - Rooms were spacious and well presented visually. We were prepared for traffic noise as I had read many reviews. We were not prepared for the continual whining from the pool equipment outside the bedroom window - just a constant metal on metal sound never varying. We asked the staff at the retreat if it could be turned off overnight but they refused, saying the pool was open to the public and had to be maintained. They claimed windows were double glazed for sound but we could see no evidence that was the case. We left a day early as the noise was so aggravating and it significantly altered our planned holiday itinerary in South Australia. The advertised courtyards were not maintained for use, and photos on Booking site quite outdated. All up very poor value for the price.
Christopher (8/5): - Most things. Nice location, good swimming pool and very quiet Not enough dishcloths , and not enough clean towels for the 3 nights we were there. Shower would only produce hot water 20% of the time as the hot / cold taps weren't clearly marked and of course the deadlocking of the door on the inside needs to be stopped as we had to wait until somebody turned up to unlock it for us.
Paul (9/5): We enjoyed the spaciousness and quiet of the accommodation. - We didn't meet the staff but our accommodation was excellent - very spacious and quiet. Breakfast food was in the fridge for us to cook ourselves. I had trouble working out the stove top to cook. I'm sure I could've phoned the host to find out but we didn't bother.
Michelle (10/5): A great place to stay for a couple’s getaway. Quiet and cozy with beautiful view - It’s clean and has a beautiful view. Coffee machine not working properly.
Paula (8/5): -
Stan (10/5): Beautifully renovated and comfortable couples getaway - Great amenities … very responsive hosts and generous provisions. The bed was super comfortable and warm. Recent renovation is fantastic and the bath was great too. It’s a little close to the freeeway, so there is a quiet hum of trucks along the freeway at night. That’s the only negative - otherwise everything else was great
Carol (9/5): -
Kirk (9/5): Great place to get away, clean quiet and super comfortable. - A beautifully presented property that is so warm and welcoming. Awesome place to get away and simply relax plus it is close to some great locations if you want to visit.
Grace (10/5): Memorable stay in a gem property & location. - Beautiful, spacious, comfortable property in a great picturesque location with stunning autumn colours - yet just a short drive to shops. Property management was very responsive and helpful.
Ella (9/5): Absolutely fantastic. - The apartment was extremely nice and modern. It included everything we needed. The bed was so comfy, and the water pressure was superb. Nothing it was extremely nice.
Reuben (10/5): This place had everything we needed and more! - The Breakfast offering were amazing! We were very full and satisfied.
Camilla (8/5): A peaceful and spacious retreat in a beautiful location with great service—would definitely stay again! - The property was in a beautiful, secluded location, making it super quiet and relaxing. It was spacious, very clean, and well-maintained. The staff were also excellent—responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The shower pressure was a bit low, and there was an ironing board but no iron, which would have been useful as we were in town for a wedding.
Kristen (10/5): Exceptional -
Caryn (10/5): A beautiful apartment with all facilities that one needs. - A very generous breakfast left in the fridge with all cooking implements needed to create our own meal when it suited us.
Richard (8/5): Fabulous Accommodation - Accommodation was very spacious. Hot water supply to kitchen.
Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
Tom (9/5): Superb -
George (8/5): Good - Old fashioned style decor clean and well organised Outdoor settings not comfortable and not clean…. Need updating …. Bathroom amazing
Baradhur (4/5): A retreat located just next to a highway is horrendous. Do not come. - - The place was spacious, plenty of space for luggages - The king size bed was comfy - Stirling was nice - The hotel is located a stone's throw away from the highway, constant traffic noise makes that place the opposite of a retreat. We could not enjoy the balcony because it was just too loud - Ikea breakfast, they just shove some ingredients in the fridge and you have to ration it over 2 days and cook it yourselves. - You have to do your own dishes after cooking your breakfast and they do not have a dishwasher! - We literally didn't see anyone during our stay. We were hoping for some convivial interaction but there was just no one - There were some cobwebs in the corner to access the bathroom, and there was some litter below the bed. Terrible. - The pool is a joke. It's not accessible during weekday office hours, and outside of it you have to uncover it yourself and put it back in! - At 330$ a night, this is terrible value for money Basically, if I wanted to cook myself, do the dishes myself, uncover the pool myself, I would stay at my own house! And doing that at the sound of highway traffic noise was just terrible. I do not recommend that place at all!
Gina (10/5): Great place to stay, close to Mount Lofty and Cleland National Parks. - Large bedroom. Two living rooms. Large bathroom with spa bath. Large indoor pool available after hours. Amazing well equipped kitchen with various condiments provided. Reverse cycle air conditioning. Lovely garden. Traffic noise from motorway about 100 meters away.
Brendan (9/5): Superb -
Claire (9/5): Superb -
Glen (9/5): Superb -
Marcus (10/5): Exceptional -
Christopher (9/5): Superb -
Joe (9/5): Perfect retreat to spend some much needed quality time together with my partner - Very peaceful home amongst the trees and much larger than expected. My partner loved the spa bath & the indoor swimming pool was a great addition. Great selection for breakfast included too! We also loved the resident kookaburra :)
Wayne (8/5): Very good - Easy to find and very comfortable Road noise
Paul (9/5): Peaceful - Remote All ok
Leanne (10/5): Exceptional -
Vincent (10/5): Exceptional -
Robinson (10/5): Exceptional - Very neat and tidy and beautiful place relaxing and very peacefull
Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
Burris (10/5): Exceptional -
Ruth (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable and great location for walking The hot water tap in the kitchen sink was very weak
Kiara (10/5): Perfect for a getaway - The size of the room, the facilities and also the breakfast provided.
Ines (10/5): We had a wonderful time - It was just like being at home Nothing
Peter (9/5): Superb -
Anita (5/5): Passable - The breakfast provided was exceptionally generous with lovely products, thank you! Wow, where to start!! Terribly noisy, if it wasn’t the traffic from the motorway right next door to the property (which negates any enjoyment from sitting outside in the lovely garden) it was the other guests above our suite who stomped around all weekend like a herd of elephants! It is not an exaggeration to say that when these guests checked in late on Friday evening we legitimately thought the office next door was being burgled!! Although the staff have put together a very thorough list of instructions for utilising the property I feel they should ask themselves why? Having to read a novella prior to being able to use any of the facilities on the property does not make for a relaxing retreat experience hence many features could not be simply enjoyed ( e.g. TV in main living room, coffee machine, swimming pool access to name a few). Finally the property looks a little tired with things not working (e.g. power point in main bedroom) and some other considerations that might enhance the functionality of the property (e.g. no light over main bathroom mirror, no heat light in bathroom and heater not working) are missing and detract from what was anticipated to be a 4 star experience.
Rory (10/5): Exceptional - The bed was fantastic, the bathroom was huge the bath was great. It was super relaxing, very quiet.
Liz (9/5): Stunning place for a group stay in well equipped and decorated apartments. - We loved the fact that we could join the two apartments and socialise together in the larger kitchen and outdoor terrace. The breakfast food provided was very good and we enjoyed having access to the indoor pool on site. The convenient location is great for access to main roads but you can hear the motorway noise when outside in the garden.
Terry (10/5): Exceptional -
Carrie (10/5): Exceptional - I loved where it was and the facilities Nothing
Meriel (7/5): Comfortable stay, enjoyed the provisions but the edge taken off by the traffic noise. Not for light sleepers! - Clean, roomy, nice balcony, lovely setting and well provisioned. Freeway traffic noise day and night. Wasn’t a big problem in the main living space with the door closed, but very noticeable on the otherwise lovely balcony and in the bedroom, particularly for light sleepers!
Poyner (10/5): Exceptional -
Noble (10/5): A well set up and comfortable suite and kitchen with beautiful views of the gardens and kookaburra’s - Spacious and comfortable in a great location Traffic noise
Joanne (9/5): Lovely retreat - Fabulous breakfast
Jordan (10/5): Such bathroom ency - The bathroom - have left having such bathroom/bathtub envy We were given beautiful food by the host in the fridge. The pool was awesome Absolutely everything about this place was exceptional. I could break it down but highly recommend everyone just to go and stay here for at least 1 night to experience this beautiful place themselves Nothing. Everything was absolutely amazing!!
Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
Donna (8/5): Very good -
Hannah (10/5): Exceptional - We enjoyed how comfy it was to stay in the house and we loved swimming in the heated pool!
Frauke (6/5): Spacious apartment in pretty setting marred by freeway noise - Spacious apartment, Pleasant aesthetics, including luxurious looking bathroom, big bed (reasonably comfortable) and great big bath Generous fridge, filled with large amounts of good quality local produce, including eggs, bacon, mushrooms, etc, bread, cake, Berenberg products, great coffee machine with good coffee, large selection of teas Beautiful looking bunch of native flowers (unfortunately, I am allergic so had to put outside) Netflix, Apple TV, etc Heating was good The pool is large and warm (we were told) and while we didn’t use it, it was empty and available most of the weekend 1 The noise from the freeway was far worse than expected. We were told that it was ‘a very quiet apartment on the inside with closed doors’. I could hear the traffic noise at night despite warring noise cancelling EarPods (not quite as bad during the weekend) 2 The shower’s hot water was just a trickle and the ability to regulate with the cold water dial was effortful and time consuming. Dreaded it every morning. 3 Only one set of towels (each) on the thin side 4 No tissues and had to ask for more toilet paper (delivered straight away, but a nuisance) 5 Lack of detail re cleanliness and overall presentation: eg., cupboard above stove covered in grease, big shampoo bottle in shower and hand soap dispenser filthy with spilled soap, bed linen all crumbled and I had to rearrange the top sheet. Patios all covered in leaves plus the back one had 5 dead pot plants 6 The kitchen cupboards were far too tall for us. My husband just managed to get down some tea from the 2nd shelf - a small step stool for those on the shorter side would be good 7 We found the drive to get into Stirling tedious
Lucius (9/5): hunnymoon - the piece and quiet, the comfort and the styling nothing
Anonymous (10/5): Absolutely devine & I wish it was for longer - There is nothing more stressful then searching for accommodation online in a city you’ve never been before, the unknown of what to expect. The moment I drove into the driveway, I was beyond excited and could not wait to see what was awaiting me behind closed doors. This property is so beautiful and had such a warm feel, the perfect place for a leisurely stay. The lovely fresh produce provided for breakfast was such a treat and added the sweetest touch. I am so grateful for having the experience of staying in this beautiful home and I would highly recommend this to all of my family and friends. There was nothing I didn’t like about this accomodation.
Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
Peter (9/5): Beautiful property - We stayed here for three nights and it gave us relaxation after a lot of touring. Warm welcome on arrival. High quality coffee machine and breakfast provisions. Loved the location, easy for walks, short drive in to nice little town of Sterling and caught bus from Sterling in to Adelaide. Summit of Mount Lofty and wildlife reserve a short drive away. Use of swimming pool was great, it is used by non-residents at times but equality we did have plenty of access to it. We loved our stay here, massive indoor space, lovely bathroom and beautiful location. Although most of the property was exceptionally clean it was let down by quite a few cobwebs in the bedroom and courtyard areas were very neglected. Otherwise this place is a gem.
Peter (10/5): a place where you’d love to return - peaceful, clean and relaxing nothing
Kirsten (8/5): Great accomodation, very comfortable- it would be fantastic to have better access to the pool - Fantastic space, very comfortable. Wonderful breakfast supplies in the fridge. I loved the bath in the bathroom It was advertised as a pool being available but this was used predominately for swim school so felt we couldn’t use this when we wanted to
Alison (10/5): Exceptional -
Brittany (10/5): Exceptional -
Yin (9/5): Great home away holiday! - Very quiet and relaxing. Love the swimming pool,just next to the room. Lovely fireplace as well. Nothing
Dianne (8/5): Getaway - Was a great location for exploring around the hills that is why we stayed there also the food provisions were great bacon egg's etc we had the balcony view apartment The one thing we didn't like was how close it was to the freeway it was very noisy you could hear the traffic all the time very hard to sleep
John (9/5): Superb -
Steve (10/5): Exceptional -
Lisa (8/5): Very good -
Greg (10/5): Exceptional -
Susan (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful place to stay; it was just like being at home with everything you could possibly need. It would be a fantastic place for a family group for a stay in the Hills!
Jenna (10/5): Exceptional -
Melissa (10/5): Exceptional -
Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the space. Huge bathroom. Great place to stay. Home away from home. great breakfast provisions.
Jessica (9/5): Superb - Beautiful spacious accommodation with excellent breakfast provisions and friendly helpful staff. Some highway noise depending on room. Tripped a switch losing power to fridge but staff were quick to fix as soon as contacted
Murray (10/5): Perfect for an Adelaide Hills Getaway. - The retreat was fantastic. A great location for exploring the Adelaide Hills. Breakfast provisions were exceptional and all facilities were excellent. The open fire was a great treat.
Tegan (7/5): Good - The location was great, the expansiveness of the room and bathroom was great, the privacy was great, the breakfast was substantial and delicious, the fireplace was a nice touch and very much necessary in the winter months. We made use of UNO and the other games supplied. Bridget supplied great instructions on arrival. The finer details were missing (especially for luxury accommodation) - particularly with cleanliness - the vegemite in the pantry could do with wipe over, the oven needs a clean and there was mould in the dishwasher. The robes, although a nice touch were very scratchy and the white towels were yellow. There were also towels (dirty?) left in the wardrobe. The heating was very slow to warm the house and bedroom, but once warm, were great, however, it was not working in the bathroom making it quite unpleasant, especially in the mornings. I believe these are easy fixes that should not deter future travellers from staying here. Overall we did enjoy our stay.
Michael (9/5): great relaxing property - great location and facility for all family a bit of noise from freeway and faulty heater (timer in the bathroom)
Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
