Amazing Weekend Escape
Awesome accommodation to enjoy the serenity of the secluded location, while being close enough to Rushworth to meet with friends or buy supplies etc. We will definitely return one day!

Very relaxing stay
The moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by our hosts. The accommodation was wonderful, heating already on, chiminea stacked ready to go and some lovely welcome gifts. Very peaceful surroundings and town was only 5 minutes away by car Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to relax and recharge the batteries!!

A Sticky Easter!
I cannot begin to say how impressed I am! The owners are very kind and approachable and the unit itself is immaculate! The outdoor BBQ area with a fireplace was used.... a lot! Cooking breakfast in the morning surrounded by nature and so many kangaroos was a highlight, to roasting marshmallows at night after cooking some local steaks we picked up in town. The owners also let us know that there was an Easter Festival in Rushworth (aprox 5kms away), and were flexible enough to ensure our check-in was smooth and we didn't miss a thing. The real story happened on Easter Saturday when my family jumped in the Landcruiser for a bit of exploring around the Basin. Long story short, we got bogged. Big time! I texted the owners about my predicament and the were out with the tractor to pull me out straight away! There is a great deal more about this story that I would love to tell, but I'll leave discression with the owners to tell the unabridged version. Or feel free to ask and I'll happily fill you in. Suffice it to say, the effort and support of the owners, and their community was outstanding. We were planning our next trip there in the car on the way home with my 3 primary school age daughters! For a place without WiFi, this is an extraordinary feat in itself! I can't give this getaway enough praise and we can't wait to get back!

About the host

Hosted by Monica

Host profile image
We are situated on a large farm of just over 100 acres. We breed thoroughbreds and also have cattle.

In the warmer months we spend allot of time on the water, being freshwater, is very refreshing and great for boating and fishing and just relaxing.

My partner and myself live here full time and our home is half a kilometer from The Retreat allowing you plenty of privacy.

Always around to answer any questions, and say hello.

Cheers
Mon and Silv
