Just wonderful. A very quiet area, lots of native fauna, and the cottage itself is so comfortable and clean. We definitely want to return

You won't be disappointed, Mary and Derek have provided everything you need for a perfect weekend away, just bring clothes, nothing else, Mary has thought of everything else you might need and provided it for you. Hope you like kangaroos, it's a special treat I assure you.

Beautiful place! Very clean, well-stocked, beautifully furnished and on a gorgeous property. Woke up to kangaroos sunbathing all around the cottage. Mary and Derek are friendly, flexible, and responsive. Highly recommend staying here!

Good place, ran by some grouse people.

Gorgeous little cottage. Amazing food, welcome hosts, and glorious bath!

Mary and Derek, we’ve been home less than 24hrs and we’re already missing the peacefulness of The Retreat. We had a wonderful and relaxing time there. The Retreat is extremely comfortable (including the most amazing bed mattress). You’ve included lots of extras e.g. fresh fruit, well stocked tea and coffee assortment as well as snacks, books, board games, DVDs. The kitchenette and bathroom are also well stocked. We loved the fact that we were off the grid so we could completely disconnect from the world and just enjoy the fresh air, the tranquillity, and the beautiful surrounding gardens, yet we were only 10mins away from great restaurants, bakeries and shops. The location is perfect as you can choose to stay at the Retreat the entire time or site see at surrounding attractions nearby. We can’t wait for our next visit!

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here. The accommodation was beautiful, and Mary and Derek were incredibly warm and welcoming hosts. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful location for a romantic weekend away from the city.

A great place for a quick weekend away.

We had a fabulous weekend away. Beautiful and clean, comfy bed, and lots of kangaroos checking us out

We would strongly recommend staying at this lovely cottage. There was not a single detail left unnoticed by Mary and Derek. The cottage was sparkling clean, lovely breakfast provided and they even warmed the cottage up before we arrived in the evening. We will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful time at the retreat. Mary was just a wonderful host and was very flexible with us as there were some challenges we faced before we arrived. Everything was as advertised and meticulously clean and beautifully presented. Wonderful quiet environment with regular visits from the roos and a rabbit or two! Could not recommend more highly!

We loved our stay at Amryhouse retreat, the cottage was beautiful as is the surrounds, cannot recommend staying there enough.

What a beautiful place to stay. Nothing but the sound of bees, birds, and kangaroos. The breakfast provisions were generous and top notch. Minutes to Woodend.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the first moment we stepped inside. How lovely it is to relax amongst the buzzing of bees, pretty lavender and surprise visit from kangaroos! We appreciate the attention to details and thoughtfulness you have given The Retreat. The scones were a lovely treat. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We hope to stay again.

We had such a wonderful time and were so impressed with the cleanliness of the place, as well as the level of detail and care that had gone in to crafting it. Mary & Derek should be very proud of the place they have created.  We will recommend to our friends. Thank you.

We had a lovely, peaceful couple of days amongst the trees at Mary and Derek’s place. Away from the hustle and bustle but still very close to Woodend, Kyneton and other places to see, eat and drink. Heartily recommend the Devonshire Tea!

Place is situated away from town, and it is very quiet. Room is very clean and well equipped. There are many Kangaroos 🦘 on the property which is lovely to see.

Amazing place in the most perfect location, incredibly clean and everything has been thought about, bed is super comfortable and a good selection of movies on offer, enjoy the surrounds, play some basketball, and just relax at this incredible property.

Thank you for this wonderful stay. Your property is beautiful. We hope to see you again!
