Beautifully located opposite Lake Bonney. Great for walking, swimming in summer. Good amenities, some basic pantry items and welcome gifts included, much appreciated. Nice games room at rear for kids and kids at heart. Couch could be more comfy...flooring a bit squeaky but otherwise a lovely little cottage.

We loved the house, the property was completely fenced off so our dog could be off leash, the house was clean and super functional, the games room was so much fun! We definitely recommend the Sunset Retreat!

I stayed with my mother and grandmother, we were very comfortable at the little cottage, next time we will stay a little longer. The only thing i was disappointed in was the heating, it didnt seem to heat very well, Mum and Nan are 82 and 100 yrs old, they feel the cold. Otherwise very beautiful

We were very impressed with the welcome gifts, and the added touch of something for the dog (treats) even though he was not interested in the one we gave him. Everything we could want was available. A very pleasant stay for the family.
