The view that the deck backed onto was breathtaking! All the rooms had floor to ceiling views of the view, we were so amazed. The place was sooo fully equipped, not to mention Daryl who was so helpful, organised and wonderful to work with before our stay. We loved the fireplace, the house was very modern and elegant!

We were unfortunate to stay during a bad weather event. No backup system in the event of losing power meant we had to leave.

The retreat was lovely with a stunning outlook. The layout was great, easy to make yourself at home.

It would be nice if the path to bunkhouse was undercover so you do to not get wet when raining. Also difficult to get into main house as no official door that was easily to access. The main room is not very private in the bathroom and unable to keep light in bedroom as no blind where glass is in the bathroom, hard to sleep in.

We had a lovely stay. The living area is spacious and open and kitchen well eqipped. The bunk house was nice and separate to share with 2 families. The property had nice gardens and a view.

Quiet & private. Great facilities. Close to Gold Coast Theme parks. Native birds, lizards, frogs, etc on the property.

This is very nit-picky but it was hard to determine where all the lights were :-( Really nothing to complain about. The weather was even perfect - though the mist and clouds came in on the day we were leaving .

The Retreat is in a beautiful setting , quiet and peaceful, relaxing. Lovely big spaces to share , the view is amazing , fully appointed in kitchen, x-large Tv and the wood fire was just lovely. The bottle of wine to enjoy was very welcome also.

The house was not very clean, in particular the kitchen but that could be because the owner was away for the time we were there. We were there in Winter and struggled to keep the place warm with all heating on, especially the main bedroom.

A lovely private setting looking all the way to the coast. The house has a nice new fully functional kitchen. The fireplace gives the house a warm homely touch. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had.

Helpful staff, cleanliness of the property, spacious rooms, felt like home.

Handle needed on door leading from central area to cabin. Hot water took a long time to come through and although there are 3 bathrooms, only one can shower at a time. There are sharp bits on the backs of tbe dining room chair legs which caught almost everyone at times. Dishwasher was leaking water.

Setting and view. Cool weather. Outdoor large garden for children to explore. Spacious central kitchen/living room. Comfy sfa and chairs. Fireplace with wood. Plenty of dishes, cutlery and kitchenware. We also used the books and games provided to help entertain the 3 year old.

We loved everything from arriving till departure

We arrived to a beautiful house with everything we needed The bottle of wine of arriving was a amazing touch which helped settle our nerves for a wedding weekend Daryl is an amazing host who was on site on arriving making sure everything was perfect and gave a house tour before leaving and was generous enough to let us know if we needed anything to just reach out My beautiful wife had so many precious memories and photos getting ready before our big day which will stay with us forever We can't wait for our 1 year anniversary and will book here again

Cons: - Cleaning not up to standards of other holiday let properties - dusty and lots of spider webs, some leaches - Poor design for accessing bunkhouse (doors to main house close but do not stay closed without locking door - was advised this will be addressed in the renovation ; bunkhouse not suitable for unsupervised young children due to this one way entry and lack of hand rails) - Outdoor walkway to bunkhouse is slippery (some additional grips on surface would help) ; walkway not covered - Bunkhouse needs a refresh as well (cupboard sliding doors do not operate smoothly) - Bunkhouse beds were on wheels and rolled around too easily (lockable wheels would help or maybe some anti slip mats) - Guest towels very old and dank (need to be replaced and kept out of high humidity) - Floors in property could be updated but understand need to be hardy with mud/pets - Main living area could be lit more brightly (or have options for those who like it more atmospheric Vs those who need more light (eg brighter around the dining table - please consider this in your renovation) - Lack of privacy options (eg curtains/screens) for main shower for those not used to having no curtains (my mother in law was very self conscious/felt exposed when showering, which I will know to be mindful of next time) - Front doorway is very cramped. Can be difficult getting in/out of the main door whilst other people are trying to get in/out of the guest bedroom. A deeper entranceway would be helpful with the flow of people. - Guest bedroom (in main house) is much smaller than main bedroom (suitable for children, but consider this if other adults staying here) - Some windows/doors had diagonal bars across them (to prevent going out to what looks like partially built decks). Recommend finish building the decks in front of main and guest bedrooms to increase space and places to enjoy the amazing gardens & view.

Suited us as one of the extended family members had to bring their pet, the property had enough bedrooms/bathrooms and we also needed a flexible cancellation policy. Pros: - Property location on side of north east facing mountain slope - Massive deck with roof and large outdoor table/seating/BBQ/fly screens/multiple sliding doors - Rainforest and back deck gardens well maintained - Lots of windows to enjoy the rainforest/mountain views/birdlife - Lots of cutlery/plates/cups/glasses etc (we cooked a lot so appreciated the plentiful kitchen supplies) - Fireplace (logs took a while to burn due to high humidity/moisture) - Fire starters / newspaper / some kindling - Fresh matches (though was fairly damp and not easy to start) - Provision of outdoor mozzie coils - Large main bedroom and en-suite - Lots of potential to be a lot more luxurious/high-end (there will be renovations in Feb22 we have been told) - Very friendly and informative welcome from property manager - Laundry facilities (but did not use)
