Definitely the best accomodation experience I ever hadCharla was so welcoming and caring, she took a lot of time to get to know us and arrange things to our likingWe were overjoyed with the gift prepared for my wife's birthday and we really loved the handmade goodies!You will not find the same friendly and caring service from many/any other placesVery relaxing trip in a nice quiet area, the house was very comfortable and had everything we needed e.g suitable kitchen and kitchenware, beds were not too soft, even had a small batch of kids soft toys which my daughter loved!Will definitely be back again, thank you for the amazing experience

We had a wonderful stay - very relaxing. Fantastic views from the deck and main bedrooms. Lovely hosts with a great knowledge of the local area. A very well-equipped house in a quiet spot. The perfect house for a serene holiday.

This is a gorgeous property, with superb water views. We stayed here with friends after the covid restrictions were eased and it was such a treat!The home is beautifully renovated, with brand new stone top kitchen and bathroom and big, bright bedrooms. The lounge has a fantastic fire and we enjoyed sitting there, looking out to the mangroves and waterways. There's also a large deck and outdoor dining, which was a lovely spot for breakfast. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

After winning a competition I was fortunate enough to stay at the retreat and it was superb. Chris and Charla have thought about everything here and the comfort factor is next level. The retreat caters for all.. couples, girls weekend, young families (us).The retreat is spacious and the bedrooms are large with adequate heating and cooling. There is a full kitchen and dining area for entertaining and a lovely deck with seating. We enjoyed the fire and large bath.We organized a gourmet Gippsland hamper and cheese box which was fantastic and I highly recommend doing so.We visited Tom’s cap winery for lunch on Charla’s recommendation and we enjoyed lunch and a tasting. The winery is brilliant for young kids with lots of space outside for them to run. It’s a casual lunch spot so fine dining dress is not required.We will be back again. Thanks again for having us!Erica and Ryan

The stay has been fabulous - it just gets better every time. The view is just mesmerizing and the house is immaculate. Our adult family were sad to leave, having completed so many activities.We just loved our week here and surprised how quickly the days disappeared. The weather was just glorious. Thank you again for the goodies that you provide and the hamper was tremendous.See you again same time in 2023!

Charla has done everything to make this place so great. The location is serene, so quiet and peaceful. It is Located next to a Ramsay listed wetland with kangaroos, birds and an awesome bushwalk starting outside the front door. While on the walk we saw lots of wildlife including black swans and their babies. We didn’t pass anyone else. And did I mention the sunset. Divine.The house is very well equipped with everything one would need including sharp knives (often missing from most places) and an awesome welcome treat. Thanks again for sharing your hospitality.

I had a wonderful time with my family staying at this beautiful and comfortable house. I am very fussy about my bed but I just loved the beds here.Slept very well after being uncomfortable at previous accommodation. I recommend the drive to Wilson's Prom as it is stunning and great to come back to a comfortable home. Enjoy!

We found the Retreat just perfect. The facilities were everything we needed and Port Albert was a picture. Our meals out were scrumptious, the Museum is great and we walked everywhere.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Port Albert Retreat. It is in the best position with great views. The place is beautifully appointed & we were so comfortable. I woke in the morning to kangaroos hppong by as well as bunnies and birds aplenty.Great hosts who left us all sorts of delicious goodies to enjoy.Do not stay anywhere else this is the best accomodation in my opinion and we will be back!
