The Hideaway Villa / Cottage at Blue Cliffs Retreat provided the perfect venue for our two week summer getaway. Located at the far end of the property, Hideaway is surrounded by trees and is private and quiet. The only sounds we heard while there were the bubbling creek, the wind in the trees and the sound of thunder during a mid-summer thunder storm. The images of Hideaway on line were taken some time ago (I could tell because the trees are now much taller than in the pics!), so do not expect Hideaway to look the same, but the essentials remain: a gorgeous spa bath (with hand-held shower attachment), an out-door shower, a very serviceable kitchen (we ate at home most evenings - steak and salad, casserole etc), a relaxing day bed, comfortable bed with wrap-around mosquito protection, plenty of under-tree benches, and the west-facing balcony with views of the Wombat State Forest. Our host Paul was promptly responsive on the only occasion we needed something, and a cleaner refreshed the house, linen and towels mid-way through our stay. Hideaway is otherwise a self-service venue and as such we brought all the provisions we needed. There is a super-size smart tv so we didn't go without our streaming services! Otherwise we did little but read, meditate, exercise, explore the property, watch the locals (birds, echidna, kangaroos), and occasionally head into "town". After two years of in-out lockdown and crazy contagion, we were craving the luxury of time and space, and that's exactly what we got at Hideaway.
