We came for the yearly Truffle Festival but we will be revisiting just to spent more time in the company of Yvonne and Greg and to re-live the sense of sheer relaxation found within the retreat. My husband and I are frequent international travellers and we know how rare this gem is. We would have liked to keep the secret... More

Yvonne and Greg run a fabulous house with cottages in the garden. Only 20 minutes from Perth airport so a great place to relax. Beautiful gardens with lovely pool. You can walk in the National park via their back door. The best dogs ever and v friendly. Looking forward to returning

It's less than an hour's drive from Perth, but a million miles away in terms of its calming, restorative qualities. There's 17... More

My room - my cottage - was lovely A wonderful place to slip away for an afternoon... More

My husband and I were in need of some rural tranquillity but time and my lack of health meant we could not travel far. After hours on the computer I was amazed to find the Core Luxury Retreat which was only an hour from home and still in the Perth CBD. Right from my phone call to Yvonne I realized... More
