First impressions certainly last a lifetime. Vintage is one way to describe the residence. Had to call the cleaner, I use the term cleaner loosely, on arrival. We called the cleaning company as there was a card saying to do so if the property needed attention in any way. Where do I begin. Dusty surfaces throughout, the toilet was not... More

We had a wonderful time at the Dusk villa; we enjoyed the amenities so much that we ended up spending a whole day in the villa and only left for dinner. Bottom line, although the housekeeping is disappointing, this place is quite magical and very different to the mainstream. This is a great retreat for a couple. The bed was... More

The room was very nice, there was no wood for the fire, even thought the book said it was kept under the house. The bed was extremely soft as was the sofa. The heater was very noisy so couldn't be left on over night. Be prepard in winter just to have a bath as the shower is outside. The scenery... More

My husband and I stayed 2 nights as part of a daily deal. The deal was great value and the setting of the villa, Dreaming, was superb overlooking a sloping bushland block with a stream running through the property. I believe there are 4 villas but I think we were the only ones there at the time. Communication and directions... More

We stayed at the Blue Hills Retreat after getting a deal online. Like one of the previous reviews, we found the deal to be excellent value and really enjoyed our stay. The villa itself was spacious and well equipped and we loved the open fire and comfy bed. It is a little outside of town but we didn't mind the... More

We just returned from Dreaming and it was perfect for us. Lovely villa surrounded by cliffs and bush and there were kangaroos at the entrance of our retreat. The spa and sauna were clean, we used the lovely fire and enjoyed the serenity from our deck The bed was comfortable with crisp linen. We had read the provisions were basic... More

I purchased an internet special deal for this retreat which proved to be excellent value and included vouchers for a local cafe and the Hepburn Springs Bathhouse, a place which is well worth a visit if you're in the area. We found the retreat easily enough thanks to the excellent detailed instructions given by the owners and were delighted at... More

My husband I had a mid-week getaway for two nights to Blue Cliffs Retreat – Dusk cottage. It is a lovely setting and very peaceful. The cottage is nicely designed and has a good layout. Unfortunately – that’s where the positives end. For the price the owners demand they should realise that people expect value. The whole cottage was dusty... More

We stayed in the 'Dusk' villa which had a great spa, nice indoor shower and a great little sauna. The enclosed tree patio area with the outside shower looked great too. As we had purchased a group deal the price was discounted, so overall for the price we were happy. Email communication with the owner was prompt and professional. The... More
