We stayed in The Chapel at Clarendon Forest retreat and loved the whole ambience of the property. Loved the full sized spa in the bathroom. The property was clean and comfy and had everything we required (even a little step to help us get into the huge & comfy bed - so thoughtful). The peaceful and serene atmosphere is heavenly and thoroughly relaxing. This was our 2nd visit to Clarendon Forest (different accommodation to last time) and we fell in love with the place all over again. Thank you for having us.
The gravel road to the property made the car a bit (or a lot) dirty ;) LOL... and having to leave to go back home :(

Location was idyllic. We enjoyed all of the facilities that were obvious too us - tennis, badminton, spa, pool, walking on fire trails, cards and games, DVDs. The bed was great. 'loved the style of construction - raked timber ceilings, timber furnishings, tiled and marble flooring. 'also loved the distance between the villas - we felt like we were alone (but not isolated). Our dog had a great time. The selection of table games was good (however, see note below) - UNO, a clean pack of playing cards :-), puzzles, Cranium, Scrabble, Chess. Thanks also for the port and chocolate eggs.
Loved everything

Absolutely love staying at Clarendon forest retreat, this was our fourth time back here and it never disappoints. This time we were here amidst the floods but Clare and Shaun couldn’t have been more accommodating or thoughtful keeping us up to date with flood warning info and allowing us early access and late check out if needed. The house was lovely and warm and cosy by the fire and it was just the break we needed. Thank you so much, we will be back!

This chapel is a magical place. The area and nature surrounding is beautiful and there’s a lot to do. The Tennis court is great and the equipment very good. The Chapel itself has everything you need and you can feel the history in it while still being super cozy. Clare and Shaun leave everything one could need. All in all it was an amazing experience and we can only recommend!

The cottage was lovely and very private which we love. We will definitely be visiting again. It was everything we could have asked for.
It's not that we didn't like it but we felt the spa was filled too high and when we got in we were too worried to move as the water was rising almost over the edge of the spa and spill out onto the floor. One other thing was when you have a shower the water spills out past the "doors" of the shower.

Beautiful, peaceful location, very quiet & lovely mowed grounds The views over the property were amazing in sunset & sunrise The spa was an added luxury The stars were amazing at night & I understand why they called it The Sanctuary
Could have had some cereal for breakfast, which would have been wonderful

Stunning country location for a wonderful winter couples getaway by the fire & watching the sunset. Everything has been meticulously thought of. We enjoyed tennis & our kookaburra friend too. Thank you.
Spa wasn't as hot as 35C as mentioned.

The location was gorgeous but with all the amenities to make it an enjoyable stay for the family. The view from the upper window was a wonderful way to start each day.
The sound from the main part of the house carried into the main bedroom at night but was understandable as it was an A-frame house.

There was no breakfast but the cottage was lovely and full of character. The grounds were open and so peaceful, a great place to unwind and just relax. The resident cockaburras welcomed us and stayed on our table but didn’t turn up the following morning as we didn’t give them any treats the day before.
Not a complaint as my wife thought differently but the bed was a little too soft for me.

It was perfect for a stopover on the way back from Gold Coast. Clean, cosy and the scenery is so beautiful. Loved the views from the deck - great sunset.
Pretty long dirt road - we didn’t mind in our 4x4 but in a small care I probably wouldn’t have liked it.
