Amryhouse is the most beautiful house in a very peaceful location. The home was sparkling clean and everything was excellent quality. Breakfast was Continental with many lovely things on offer. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom very roomy. It was a very relaxing escape just out of Woodend and close to Trentham and much to see and do.

Mary and Derek’s place was absolutely perfect! They were very quick and helpful with communication, even giving excellent recommendations for the area. The space was cosy, convenient, and the amenities far exceeded our expectations. We would love to visit again in the future!

Easily one of the best places we have stayed in. It was beautifully snowing and felt absolutely cosy. The amount of subtle luxuries there made it worth it.

My husband & I recently spent a wonderful weekend at The Retreat at Amryhouse. From the moment we arrived, Mary had made sure that everything we needed was provided to ensure our stay would be a memorable one.

The cottage itself was just so cosy, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming & as we had advised Mary the approximate time of our arrival, the chimenea outdoor fire pit was already lit & very inviting.

Can I just say that the king size bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in (both myself & hubby both suffer with back problems), the bed linens were just beautiful & the cleanliness was of the highest standard.

Generous breakfast provisions were provided, more than ample for our two night stay.

The retreat truly was a place to fully unwind & relax, so uniquely Australian to see the kangaroos hoping past you & the sounds of the kookaburra’s in the nearby trees. We certainly would not hesitate to recommend The Retreat at Amryhouse to anyone who is looking for peace & tranquility & a relaxing getaway.

A wonderful cottage surrounded by bush – It was a wonderful 24 hours. Lovely accommodation, with a beautiful outlook. I wouldn’t hesitate to come again. Mary was warm and friendly and available if I needed to know anything. I would highly recommend staying for a real get away.

Beautiful cottage, warm in winter months. Very comfortable bed with electric blanket to warm it up.

Cosy and comfortable. The kangaroos grazing on the property were lovely to watch. A wonderful deep bath. Continental breakfast made the morning super easy. Everything we needed was just there and it meant we could immediately relax. I highly recommend!

“Beautiful and peaceful city escape. Clean, warm and cosy, with a delicious continental breakfast provided. Waking to kangaroos and wombats on the surrounding grounds added to the charm of Mary & Derek’s cottage. ”

“Beautiful place. Clean, friendly, quiet. Wonderful in every way. ”

Mary and Derek’s place is a beautiful weekend getaway. The bed is so comfy and breakfast was lovely. Very thoughtful hosts, situated in a wonderful part of the world.

Lovely place to stay to explore the Macedon Ranges. Breakfast provisions were delicious, space is cosy and clean, and the outlook is lovely. We enjoyed our stay.

Thanks for everything, we had a fantastic, restful break. It couldn’t have been more perfect. See you next time.

Lovely quiet getaway in a private cottage. Clean, cosy and super comfortable with extra touches that made our stay very enjoyable. Plus kangaroos to look at outside. Close to Kyneton, Woodend and Daylesford. Lovely hosts. Thanks Mary and Derek.

Thank you so much for your hospitality. The house is a picture out of Country Style magazine, my favourite read. We love the decor and your attention to detail. The bed is divine! We put photos on Facebook and got so many comments. Many thanks.

The ambiance, nature setting, privacy, breakfast provisions, It’s got to be perfect.

Really cute little cottage, great hosts. Loved the tennis court.

I wish we had the time to stay another night. The place is beautiful and has everything you need. Spent all night watching TV, playing scrabble and flicking through the books on the shelf. What a breath of fresh air!

“My new husband Robert and I stayed on the night of our wedding and loved the little cottage tremendously. The space is decorated beautifully and Mary and Derek left the cooler on for us for when we got in. There was also a thoughtful surprise in the fridge. Excellent hosts and delicious breakfast. Would definitely return!

The Retreat at Amryhouse was fantastic. The cleanliness, attention to detail and generous continental breakfast were more than we could have hoped for. A fabulous stay. We will be back!

Our stay was wonderful. The location is beautiful and peaceful and the owners were very helpful and accommodating, doing everything they could to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. Great experience all round.
