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.

The accommodation was perfect. Beautiful, clean, comfortable. The balcony was an amazing addition to the room which was situated within the homestead. Incredible views, quite, relaxing and really enjoyed sitting on the balcony to watch the sunrise. Bathroom was spacious, had a heater built into the lights, very hot water, very clean with all the little extras like body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Has a little room which contains a bar fridge, microwave, clothes hanging facilities as well as an iron and ironing board. There were complimentary chocolates and milk in the fridge, coffee, tea, sugar, plates/cutlery/glasses on a small table all for your use. Free wifi and smart TV and plenty of room to unpack your luggage. Large thick rug on the floor which was lovely and warm on the crisp weather mornings. Check in was so easy considering we were arriving after hours. LOVED LOVED EVERYTHING.

Nothing.

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.

Private cabins set in a quiet secluded bush setting. Full kitchen and dining area. Theres also a covered screened balcony attached to the building. Parking outside the room. Close to walks.

Wifi is only available up at reception which made planning what to see and do a little more challenging. The kitchen window didn't open and there was no vent over the oven to remove the cooking smells. The bed was very firm and needs a little padding on the top.

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.

The staff were incredibly friendly, warm and helpful, especially Nicole. We loved the peace. Great water pressure in shower, and comfortable beds. Great location close to shops and cafes yet secluded.

Came back after 9pm one night and the road was so dark we couldn't find the driveway. My only feedback would be to place a light near the entry sign.

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.
