Great room. Really beautiful place.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful to have accommodation in the Rainforest
Bryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All in all a fabulous rainforest hideaway with all elements of comfort incorporated into an aesthetically pleasing interior. Just loved to step down into the spa ,with wrap around views of the rainforest , and spending time relaxing on the balcony just soaking in the lush environment, being visited by colourful native birds. Loved the privacy of the setting and its close proximity to The Cathedral Ranges State Park, where the hike along the Razorback from Sugarloaf Peak was amazing, albeit challenging. We are also very grateful to the manager , for allowing us to bring our stay forward by one night to make the most of the glorious weekend weather, missing the impact of the downpour on the date of our checkout.

Facilities: Home away from home; Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Spotless; fantastic location and very private

8/10 Very good

Fantastic quiet getaway! Very clean and tidy but for the price you pay there should be a ready supply of wood for the fire at no extra cost.
Jim, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the location and the big spa bath. The view when u wake up looking out at the lush bushland was perfect. There were mice in the walls so could hear them all night, did mot make for a peaceful sleep.

Beautiful

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely property, secluded stay in the forest. The water in the spa came out dirty but otherwise a wonderful getaway. Maybe put some lights up along the path so it’s easy to see at night when driving into the area.
Tanvi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stunning property! Stayed for a couple nights in Jan. Note that cabins are serviced via tank so hot tub water was a little brown due to this. High quality locally-sourced breakfast essentials and toiletries provided. Absolutely beautiful grounds that are very well maintained. Woke up to the sound of songbirds and gentle rain pattering on luscious green fernery. Highly recommend these secluded cabins for a luxurious nature retreat!

4/10 Fair

As soon as we arrived the front door was surrounded in mud.The drainage in driveway is blocked with debris. No attention to detail on arrival and lack of maintenance. Upon entry I tried to boil the kettle for a cuppa. Kettle was broken and leaking! The stove top was also broken and the kitchen fan above stove was filthy and also not working. The toaster was also broken!!The toilet seat was broken.The door leading into the spa/bathroom was smashed in.!! So it's July , mid winter , and the fireplace was going to get a work out...so for 2 cold nights the team at Woodlands retreat supplied me with 5 wet bits of timber!? They told me to go to Coles and buy some firewood!!The cottage was fitted with speakers throughout yet there was something missing...no sound system or DVD player.The outdoor BBQ worked a treat except there were no utensils to clean or cook with. This place is gorgeous and you pay a premium to stay. Ive been here before years ago and loved my stay, that's why we returned. The premium price should obviously be backed by premium service and amenities. I won't come again. New management I guess. The area of Narbethong is breathtaking! Make sure you visit Steavensons Falls In Marysville. Give Woodlands Retreat a miss and treat yourself to accomodation elsewhere. By the way I tried to sort this out with the Woodlands Retreat team directly.....guess what...still waiting for a response. This is the first time I've ever left a poor review. .

A perfect getaway with all you need to relax and enjoy your time of relaxation.

Secluded, romantic, lush and relaxing!

Great for a private, romantic and relaxing stay. It was raining during our stay but it was actually the perfect setting to stay indoors, relax by the fireplace, have a bubble bath and listen to the rain in the comfort of an amazing rainforest setting. If you're looking for anything more, this is not the place for you!

8/10 Very good

Good for one night but not longer

It was lovely, however there was no Information package available, No pressure in the shower and an out dated BBQ. The door to the bathroom wouldn't open but the manager did come and fix it for us. All in all it was a nice stay but not worth the money.

6/10 Good

No matter what we tried couldn't rid the strong smoke smell throughout
