Absolutely amazing
We stayed just 2 nights at the Jodha Bai Retreat but wished we had stayed longer. The love, care and hard work that Cliff and Susan have put into making the Retreat a special haven shines through. The service provided by them was warm and friendly and the quality of the fittings and furnishings outstanding. We will definitely be going back.

Nowhere better ...ever!
Honestly the best place we have ever stayed! Just a pity there is not a 6 star option because we would give this 7:) Susan and Cliff are outstanding hosts. Friendly, knowledgable, hospitable and most of all kind! It is really difficult to capture Jodhai Bai in a few words. It is a place of beauty and serenity and peace. The very walls and pillars welcome you like an old friend. The accommodation is of such a high standard - beautifully decorated and prepared by the couple. You feel their influence and welcome in every room and every nook and cranny. It was our favourite place in Australia and we travelled a lot. Susan and Cliff we cannot thank you enough for eveything. We loved meeting you both and your amazing children and as you know we had a ball.

Absolutely amazing weekend getaway. Exquisite architecture everywhere you looked. The suite was beautiful, clean, comfortable and warm (it was very chilly outside), plus the food and drinks were amazing. But, what really made the stay were our hosts, Cliff and Susan. Beautiful people. Highly recommend for that special getaway to relax and unwind.

A unique experience in a beautiful setting with amazing views of the coast and mountains, and wonderful hosts who go the extra mile. Thoughtful attention to detail - loved the warm welcome, the complimentary drinks and snacks, the wine recommendation and the delicious big breakfast! The fireplace was also a treat and added to the cosy vibe of the bungalow. Wish I had known about the full luxury package in advance!
