Location is suberb even though parking was difficult as the adjoining car was also a 4WD and the space between cars made opening doors difficult. The interior decor is excellent. Even though we don't drink port, the supplied chocolates were appreciated. We will definitely return - next time to the lakeside pavilion which might be more protected from road noise. We loved the small dishwasher and the enclosed balcony area.

Sound proofing the property from road noise would help both day and night. The coffee machine didn't work and the repalcement was infested with an ant colony! We resorted to instant coffee. Scissors would have been a good adddition to the supplied utensils and we have come to expect a mid-week change of towels, supplied tissues and toilet paper to last the 8 days. We struggled with use of the induction cooktop and there were no supplied instructions. The neighbour was noisy during the day, with the TV and music turned up too high.

it's truly tranquil 95% of the time, and the other 5% just reminds you you're not too far away from a main city which gives me a lot of comfort. The rooms are top notch, the hard wood floors, the modern bathroom, wow! There is also a lot of space. The staff make you feel very welcome on approach and the room has a few extra welcome comforts that really made it nice.

just the little window above the bathroom and bed means you can hear more than is preferable. didn't mind it though I will be back very soon regardless. Nothing that headphones or a walk to the beautiful balcony can't remedy.

The retreat was very quiet and relaxing, the Manager Sue was very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast in a delightful dining area was great. Lovely gardens and forest surrounding the rooms and cabins made it very tranquil and pleasant. Mount Cotton location was well suited for our daily travels.

The only negative comment was it is not easy to find or access from Mount Cotton West road. Needs larger protruding signage that can be seen from winding road (so it can be easily seen whichever way you are approaching.) On first visit better to arrive in daylight hours.

The bungalow was very spacious, private (when we stayed) and comfortable. Loved the enclosed fly screened verandah overlooking the lake? (water). We stayed 2 nights while our car was being modified for camping at Slacks Creek. We chose this location because it was close but we also wanted to relax after a long stint of work in nature. We did exactly that. The staff were so friendly and helpful.

We didn’t have a car with us at the time and I thought we would be able to do some waking in the bush but it wasn’t really set up for that. We were right at the top entrance (lake view) It was a little noisy on the road at times with cars going fast along this road nearby which was a shame otherwise it’s a very peaceful environment.

Cabin no. 1 was very private & quiet, except for the cicadas chirping, and extremely comfortable couches and bed. The cabin was very clean. Loved the fly wire enclosed decking!

Just a little thing which was a minor irritation was there wasn’t any tissues or paper towelling provided and for a five night stay only one tea towel. As I say very minor but annoying.

Great location to relax in the peaceful surroundings. Lovely undercover and fly screened balcony to enjoy overlooking the trees and serenity. Great bathroom and good kitchen facilities. Comfortable bed. Airconditioning and fans throughout the cabin. Really enjoyed staying at this property and would highly recommend. Washing facilities would be an added bonus.

The location was peaceful, calming & relaxing. Well placed in close drive to shopping & restaurants but set in quiet secluded bushland. The timber hotel was beautiful, lovely timber decks with glass frontage overlooking bushland while enjoying high tea was a memorable experience!! Having your own private deck to sit outside & relax enjoying the silence was another favourite, I can't wait to book a private cabin next visit! The customer service was exceptional, Sue was very gracious host. Sue was attentaive to her guests, always making us feel welcomed & attending to anything we needed. She also went out of her way to arrange a high tea booking outside general hours due to our limited time, which we will never forget, thank you Sue.

I haven't experience the private cabins, but as general feedback the bathrooms (rooms) in the hotel would benefit from a more modern renovation, and possible a new bedroom decor (bed frame, curtains, floor rug & outside table set), this would lift my rating of the facilities. Also I am unsure weather a breakfast service is provided, the hotel dining area is large and amazing, the property would benefit from a breakfast dining service being available.

It was lovely to have some cereal for breakfast, as we had been provided with no information about the food, and had thought there wasn't anything included.

There was complimentary coffee sachets in the room, however there was only 1 in date. The other ones went out of date in March 2024 and March 2023. I opened one of them and the coffee was black and had gone off.

So amazing secluded and quiet location, waking up to the natural bush and trees. Sitting on the balcony watching the Australian gum trees and the birds. ZERO city vibe. This is what a RETREAT is all about. The room was very high class clean and tidy and in great taste. Host was very responsive and positive. Definitely coming back again.

This place is already 10 out of 10 experience and value for money.
