Hi We had an incredible dinner at the restaurant for my wife's birthday. The waiter Scott really made it so special, what a lovely guy. Great to see the support for local products such as Hickson House, what a martini..........

The staff at the retreat were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The room itself could have been cleaner, and it felt a bit run‑down with marks, scratches, stains, and general wear and tear that hadn’t been fixed. We had dinner at the Me‑Gal Restaurant and everything we ordered was delicious. Our waitress, Iman, was lovely, and the view from the restaurant was beautiful. The buffet breakfast, however, wasn’t as good and the staff there weren’t as friendly, though it was still fine overall. We had a good time, and we would stay here again.

Amazing experience - try to plan enough time to do the zoo at least 2 days and take the nite tour the hotel offers ($25.00 per person) and get an animal view room - so cool to have Koalas sitting in the tree outside the windows Rooms need a good vacuum - corners and ceilings

I really feel like I'm outside Sydney it feels like a sanctuary retreat with such close distance from city centre. The staff are so friendly and kind to us. Accomodating to my husband's need whose mobility is such a challenge. Fresh air, zoo tours are such wonderful experience! We could also admire the Koala just right outside the windows from our hotel room.
