Mountain Retreat
Disappointing that the spa bath in room was non operational and apparently all spa baths were the same. Shower complicated control system. Tried to go fancy but failed. Included breakfast good but doesn't start until 8am. Dinner nice but exorbitantly overpriced. Single lane gravel road into property dangerous with lots of blind corners and cars travelling too fast. Had a number of near misses.

Excellent. Make the detour here!
We chose this to break the journey to Russell but, could not have been more pleased. 5km down a single track dirt road, slowly climbing up a dirt road. An amazing journey to get there and well worth it. DEFINITELY book dinner. Delicious food and a real destination hotel. We will definitely come back and would recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very luxurious and will book again. My only comment would be the road to the property was quite scary and dangerous. We drive a 4WD Ute and I’m so glad we do because we arrived in the evening and it was raining quite heavily. The roads became muddy and slippery and there is no lighting on the road. Other than that amazing stay!

Probably the nicest place for the money I’ve EVER stayed. Quiet, beautiful setting with spacious, luxurious accommodations. Lodge is situated on top of a hill with panoramic views. “Villas” are widely spaced with big windows and verandahs to take in scenery. Generous tiled en-suite with two-headed shower, spa bath. Luxury is the word that comes to mind.

Luxury! My husband and I stayed for one night for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were greeted by lovely staff for our checkin. Very warm and welcoming. We stayed in Villa 10 which was a short walking distance to the pool and spa. We used both of these facilities. There is also a sauna that we didn’t get a chance to use. The Villa was beautifully furnished. It had a modern rustic feel. The bathroom is huge with a shower for two, seperate basins and a bath. The bed was my absolute favourite thing. It was so comfortable and the pillows, linen and duvet were just luxurious. They provided a beautiful sleep mist also. Such incredible small touches. We loved the gas fireplace which we used to warm up after our spa / swim. We had the 3 course meal and a cheeseboard. Every meal was so well thought through and absolutely delicious. The eye fillet is the best steak I’ve had, compliments to the chef. 5 star quality! There was also delicious shortbread provided in the room with the tea and coffee options. A breakfast is also included in the price, good range of choices. My husband and I wished we’d had two nights there. It was just so peaceful and relaxing. We definitely would stay here again and absolutely recommend it. You can feel how much love and effort is put into every detail. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.

This property is lovely. Rooms atre decorated well and clean. Lovely flowers and double showers. Stylish furnishings and lovely touches like baked biscuits on arrival, an espresso maker and umbrellas. Beds comfortable and linen great. Disappointing the spa baths did not work. The restaurant and main lodge area is beautifully decorated. The staff are friendly and the food lovely. Special thank you to the head chef who specially made a cheese soufflé for me. The dining room is lovely and the breakfasts superb. Overall I would highly recommend this property.

Mixed feelings about this place. Would definitely not recommend the place in summer - the rooms are boiling hot - no AC (we requested a fan which they gave but it hardly helped) and the room and bathrooms were filled with bugs (maybe needs a bug bomb) the neighbour's kept coming outside our area forcing us to close the curtains (so no view) which means there isn’t that much privacy. I paid through Expedia and the receptionist charged my card again (she did not say she was going to charge me for the room she just charged it again I assumed she was going to put some sort of hold on my card) I advised her during checkout and she said she would transfer me - she ought to have put it back in my card as fast as she took it out. (Still no payment received) breakfast looked average which is why it’s complimentary- we skipped it. The place allows unvaxxed people which I was uncomfortable with (they do not check vaccine passes unsure it’s it’s legal) they do not do room service because of “covid” but do dine in (so it’s not ok to drop off food but it’s ok to eat with potential unvaxxed strangers?) considering they don’t check vaccine passes it’s strange to think they don’t do room services due to covid. The receptionist was nice just a shame that the place was equivalent to a 1star motel. We went for a special occasion it was a bit ruined due to all of this. The views were nice but maybe the place is not worth the price we paid. I would have rather spent that on a hardworking Airbnb
