Great Stay

We had a very enjoyable experience staying at the Tea Trees Retreat. It was the perfect place to stay and celebrate a special family birthday; 95th, so a quiet affair. The host was very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy, lounge was cosy, kitchen very well equipped. I highly recommend this place. CD

Relaxing weekend with friends

Thanks Tracy for a lovely stay at your home away from home. We enjoyed our first night around the large dining table and mornings on the deck at the outdoor table. Beds were comfy, showers hot, and house roomy for our group of 7. Everything provided, even fans for the bedrooms, made our stay easy and comfortable.

Golf weekend

My golfing group used this accommodation, combined with another house close by, for a golfing weekend on the Peninsula. The house was clean and tidy and although it wasn't used for "lounging around in" it was nevertheless, very comfortable. It was well appointed and there were plenty of comfortable beds. This location was excellent for our weekend.

Exceeded my expectations

We loved our stay here, the pictures don’t do the property justice, the house is much bigger in person and there’s no shortage of games and entertainment to keep busy. Tracey was very responsive.

Just great

This would qualify as one of the best places I have stayed, not over 5th top luxurious but just wonderfully welcoming, interestingly decorated, comfy warm beds, great heating for a winter weekend, cupboards full of crockery, cutlery, cooking pots and pans etc, lovely big dining table and chairs, huge library of DVDs, quiet area, lots of off street parking, Fab little coffee shop / bakery round the corner - does it sound like we liked it - we loved it! Thank you Tracy for all the little extras including your great communication.

Girls weekend away

2 night weekend stay. Kitchen well equipped. didn't use outdoor area due to weather on the weekend. Close proximity to local beaches with a car. Very hilly if walking. Driveway is very steep and on the narrow side. 4 bedrooms with queen/double beds although there were lots of fold out beds available I think it would be very crowded if they were needed. There were only 4 of us so we had ample space.

Girls weekend

6 of us stayed in the area for a special hiking event. Tracy’s house was clean, tidy, with all amenities. Communication was easy enough once I succumbed to downloading the app. No other way… the little neighbour dog was annoying at 3am and for some reason the neighbours bright light from his veranda seemed to shine directly our way but the rest was wonderful. Thank you Tracy

A relaxing stay, in a beautifully presented coastal gem

From the minute we opened the door we could see the owners took great pride in this well located holiday home, it was spotlessly clean, stylishly presented with quality linen on all the beds and had absolutely everything to make our stay extremely comfortable and relaxing. Tracy was very prompt and informative in her communications which made the check in process very easy. We also loved walking to the coffee shop just around the corner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you very much.
