What an awesome location, surrounded by bushland with a variety of wildlife. The facilities were of a great standard and an ideal place to relax and rejuvenate. There was some great local produce along with some magnificent home made bread supplied for us on our arrival.Our hosts Brian and Helen were fantastic, definitely a pleasure to meet them. The picturesque township of Stirling was a stones throw away with excellent food and coffee if you chose. I would certainly recommend The Retreat for that special get-away. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 21 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Owners friendly and professional.
