Beautiful stay, unfortunately bathroom as a little under the wow factor of the rest of the room. This is simply because it is older and tiles in shower and discoloured/grout was unclean looking. Also a crack on the wall around there side of the bath that a draft came in as well as a fairly large spider. Despite all of this we will definitely be back!

Comfortable, relaxing and simply a MUST.

My wife, I and our dog recently stayed here (in the Grevillea Cottage) and it was an absolute treat! It was completely relaxing, clean and welcoming. The bottle of wine upon check-in was a lovely surprise, the ingredients for our breakfast all there in the fridge. The backyard was large and we were greeted by the lorikeets in the feeder the next morning. Marianna was wonderful to deal with and very organised. This will not be our last getaway to Glenview. Thank you again.
