Luckily we travelled in a 4WD as the road up to the retreat is quite steep and ruff in places. It's both bitumen and gravel. However all that is forgotten once you reach the top. It truely was like the rest of the world didn't exist. Calm just settled over you. We own a small property out of town so it's not even the fact we were out of town, we are use to that. I can't describe it as anything else other than calm. The view was intoxicating. Due to the privacy out there we could leave the blinds open and the massive windows were like our own private view of the landscape. From the sun rising to the storms rolling in, the rain on the tin roof to the songs of frogs at night, it just took you to another place. The last night of our stay, after a nice hot shower, we wrapped ourselves in the robes supplied and lay out on the lounges on our verandah watching the lightening put on a mesmerising show across the sky. The calm of Mt Hay Retreat has already got me thinking about our next stay. And the pool & spa.... sigh!

Not a single thing!

Mt Hay Retreat was amazing, we loved our stay. The room exceeded our expectations, the view was beautiful. Pool and spa were also great after the drive from Sydney. Anthony gave us great recommendations and was very warm and welcoming. We only wished we got to stay longer, will be back for sure!

The pool was fantastic and the spa, as was the view from the huge balcony, the room was spacious and beds were comfy.

The narrow bumpy road leading up to the property.

Views, luxury unit, private, clean, very comfortable, access to beautiful indoor pool, friendly owners.

Absolutely nothing.

great views! the staff were lovely.

the room was a bit outdated with fairly random assortment of furniture. The bathroom overlooked a private garden but was not maintained and had empty pots sitting around, wasn’t very appealing. the private road in and out was filled with pot holes that were not well maintained.

the location and view were exceptional and the pool was extraordinary

we had corner room would of been nice to see more ocean view. many cobwebs on veranda. No facewashers

I liked the location; it was a while since I'd been to such a wonderfully quiet and serene place. This helped a lot since I had to study a bit while on site but had no trouble concentrating. The facilities were wonderful.

It would have been nice, however, to have the means to cook a meal onsite as there are no restaurants on the property and going out to Berry to eat every time or having to be happy with ready-made meals if we needed to stay in was a bit of a bummer.

Photos don't do this place justice, the serenitly is like nothing else. The resort is such a tranquil place. We will be booking in regular with them.

There was nothing I didn't like. However I wish I looked at their website prior to arrival as they offer add on services that I would have taken advantage of.

Fantastic getaway from the hustle and bustle, amazing sweeping views of the sea and terrain and a very comfortable bed! And the pool and spa were perfect!

No phones to call reception in the room, however, email responses were very prompt. Bathroom can have heated lamps for the winter months.

Mt Hay was an expectional stay! It exceeded our expectations and the owners went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and they were so friendly and personable!

Nothing

The location and facilities were really good. Beautiful property and well maintained.

The Wifi kept dropping out.

BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. Beautiful room. peaceful. quiet. very friendly staff.

everything was AMAZING.

Idyllic elevated country setting with fabulous views over undulating farming landscape to the sea beyond. Our unit (I believe all are similar) was modern, luxuriously furnished, clean and well equipped. It was not advertised to be fully self-catering and you should not expect this; no cooker but pretty much everything else; fridge, kettle, Nespresso coffee maker, microwave etc.. The grounds are kept beautifully and once inside our unit it felt very private as we could not see any of the others in the small complex. There is a great heated indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, which is good either for recreational use or doing laps; ideal also for cooler autumn, winter, spring months. Very welcoming and helpful owners/managers completed a happy experience for us.

Not a lot. The narrow and twisty approach road may not be to everyone's taste, but maybe best seen as part of the charm of it all!

beautiful location, sensational set up, peaceful, serenity
