Amazing Get Away Retreat

Our family recently had a long weekend away at Clifford Retreat. We found the accommodation to be 5 star. The house is very clean and modern. Well heated throughout which was a big plus as we had a 6 week old baby. Bedding was super comfortable, linen was clean. Bathrooms were also spotless and had all the necessities needed. Living room and outdoor areas were spacious and had the perfect ambiance to wind down and relax. Location could not have been any better, we parked our car in the double garage and didn't get in it again until we had to leave. All shops, cafe's and restaurants were a 2min walk away. The owners were brilliant to deal with and couldn't make our stay any better if possible. We will be making this our family get away destination going forward into the future. This place will not disappoint you and we highly recommend you try it out for yourself .

Weekend with Family

We had a fantastic weekend at this property. Annie was very helpful before and during our stay, and the property was so close to the Main Street of Barwon Heads, we didn’t need to use our car all weekend. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Holiday for my brothers wedding

Annie has to be the most lovely and helpful host I have come across, from helping with obstacles within the house to allowing us to change dates the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. She was very responsive. The house was perfect and the best location. We loved our stay. Thankyou so much Annie.

Beautiful house in the best location

So comfortable and convenient! Plenty of room for our family and grandparents and a step away from the main shops and beach. The house was super clean, had a great kitchen and plenty of towels and blankets. The downstairs garage was so handy and parked 2 cars easily. Everything we needed for beach escape. Already planning our next visit!
