Marita and Ian are the perfect hosts, so easy to talk with and know how to make things so welcoming with all the little personal touches they put in place. The Rustic Retreat gave us everything we wanted in spades and the location was excellent being just off the South West Highway and equidistant between Donnybrook and Bridgetown. We were able to totally relax and take in the wonderful views from the front of the Retreat. Our sadness at having to go home was counter-balanced by the sight of seven, tiny, newly hatched ducklings down by the ponds as we left. Thank you Marita and Ian. ##### David P.
