We had a family reunion here on the Australia Day long weekend. We booked this 12 months ago, the staff went above & beyond & could not have been more helpful as we made a few changes throughout the year. The accommodation was great, as we had 40 plus people, close to the airport for family members flying in from interstate. Close to the beach, & the Bay for lovely seafood. It was perfect for us and we have booked again. Highly recommend!!

Can not speak highly enough of the staff at The Retreat. They went above and beyond to make our families stay perfect. Thank you to Mel and the team! You are amazing. The place has so much potential. The accommodation is in need of some upgrades but the locstion & staff more than make up for this. We can't wait to see what this lovely place becomes. We will be back.

We have been returning to The Retreat for a dad's weekend away for about 12 years. It is the perfect set-up for this. It's fairly cheap but cheerful. Plenty of room, you have the ability to have everyone under the same roof whilst still having plenty of space (lounge/dining and verandah) for socialising. Great BBQ facilities, fantastically stocked kitchen and plenty of parking. Close to some great golf courses and awesome beaches. It is our group's yearly pressure cooker of life release and the Retreat is a perfect place for it. 15 thumbs up this year and every year prior 👍. Thank you

Great name but a pretty tired looking 'retreat'. The linen and towels were clean, the floors not very clean and the facilities generally pretty average. This is how we found the dog friendly cabin, not sure if the others were of equal standard.
