Not Recommended, host is agressive, place rundown

The pool and outlook were amazing, but everything else fell short. The air con didn’t work on a 35-degree day, lights were out in the main house, and a friend was electrocuted by a faulty power point—serious safety issues. The host was rude when we raised concerns and then tried to charge extra for using the BBQ and fireplace. Needs urgent maintenance and better management.

Poorinda retreat weekend stay

A fantastic place to stay for family groups or a group of friends. We held a 40th here and it was perfect, space to dance on the deck and set up tables and chairs. The bar is so handy for everyone to use. The views and tranquility of the property make it so relaxing to lay or swim in the pool or enjoy a hot spa. Everything you need is provided in the houses, was a great place to stay.

Bridal Party stayed here over wedding weekend

The property was perfect for our wedding weekend, it fit our large bridal party together at the residence. We where able to get our get ready photos and still have different dwellings for both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids. Kerri Lea is an amazing host and was within reach when needed. Thank you for making our wedding weekend so great. The view, pool and spa where excellent.

Come for the view, stay for the comfort.

This property caters for large groups in an idyllic setting. It is a beautiful property. Things to note: - No bedrooms accessible on ground level unless the King Suite is booked at additional cost - smaller villa sleeps 10, in open planned loft type set up, great for a group of older teenagers or young adults - cosy main house has the large open planned living areas with 3 upstairs bedrooms, one with en-suite. - main bathroom in main house is also upstairs with shower only accessible by stepping up high into large corner spa bath. Not accessible for anyone with mobility issues. - No written instructions available for appliances, smart tv, Wi-Fi making it challenging to use ovens, TV. Host is onsite, best to ask her how to navigate these things at check in.
