Fabulous, modern, peaceful retreat

Spacious & extremely well appointed modern 3 bedroom house in a quiet bushland setting. Spotlessly clean with a fully equipped kitchen & laundry. Living spaces were very comfortable with beautiful views & sunsets. Resident kangaroos also put in an appearance.

Friends Getaway

Fabulous weekend getaway enhanced by great, well appointed accommodation. Loved the original part of the home and the thoughtful extension with beautiful stonework and welcoming combustion fire. The bushland surrounds are beautiful, peaceful and a wonderful way to take in the start of each day.

Luved Benny's

A fabulous location, quiet bushland, no barking dogs, no passing traffic just serenity. How was great, all mod cons and well provisioned for our three night stay. Sue was always contactable and we much appreciated her attention to her guests need in a friendly and amicable manner. We could not fault Benny's Retreat and will stay again. Also the Watervale Hotel is a great spot for a long lunch.

Beautiful house with gorgeous comfy bedding

We had a lovely stay, a beautiful house with lovely bedding. We misread that the property had no TV but we kept busy and a small microwave would be handy because we like to cook and stayed in most nights. The breakfast supplied was fantastic and most appriciated. Thank you Sue
