Reviewer Comments:
We had an excellent stay at the Royston Retreat. The house is spacious, very neat and tidy, well equipped. Indoor and outdoor areas are well prepared for guests’ comfort and entertainment. It is a home away from home but with an overwhelming holiday feeling. There is a short distance to the beach over the dune which also gives protection in case of the wind from the sea. We could spend a lot of time on the deck of the house thanks to that. The owners put a lot of attention to make the place very comfortable for the guests. We highly recommend the Royston Retreat to anyone considering visiting and staying at Harvey Bay.

My family and I stayed at Royston Retreat for 4 nights and loved how spacious and comfortable it was for a family of 5. Loved the ping pong table and darts too! The only downfall was the cleanliness of the house... eg toilet, vanity (soap scum around taps), dead bugs on windowsills, food splatters on venetians at kitchen window.
