A brief clean stay
Liked: Stayed one night only. Location very easy to find not far out of Dunsborough. Good communication from staff due to very limited reception hours. Large loft room with leafy outlook was comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. Complimentary sparkling wine.
Disliked: Window screens missing on some windows so unable to utilise any fresh breezes. Alarms in the complex beeping for a lengthy period at 3.15am and a guest disturbance cursing/fighting outside caused disturbed sleep and as nobody on site to contact after the limited reception hours, nothing attended. Left voicemail on phone at 3.30am when beeping continuing. No acknowledgement from staff that morning. Note this is not really a hotel, more like a guesthouse of sorts, with limited options for food/recreation if not using the spa services.

The most relaxing mini-break imaginable....
Liked: The feeling of calm and tranquility the moment we arrived. The silence, other than the breeze and birdsong. A retreat in every sense of the word. Absolute heaven! Breakfast on the deck, overlooking the grounds was a highlight.
Disliked: Couldn't fault anything. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful quiet retreat in luxury
Liked: Exceptional breakfast selections. Lovely staff. Adults only retreat was fully booked but we barely bumped into anyone. The lobby room is lovely.

Disliked: You would have to be an extremely fussy person to find anything unsatisfactory
