Very tranquil.

What an awesome location, surrounded by bushland with a variety of wildlife. The facilities were of a great standard and an ideal place to relax and rejuvenate. There was some great local produce along with some magnificent home made bread supplied for us on our arrival.Our hosts Brian and Helen were fantastic, definitely a pleasure to meet them. The picturesque township of Stirling was a stones throw away with excellent food and coffee if you chose. I would certainly recommend The Retreat for that special get-away.

Skøn lejlighed med alt, hvad man kan få brug for. Super venlige værter og lækker morgenmad, man selv tilbereder. Lidt støj fra freeway'en, men ellers et skønt område.
