Awesome Kid-Friendly Fun

I loved the fantastic amenities for the kids at The Retreat! The heated pool with water slides was a hit, and the jumping pillow kept them entertained all day. Our children had a blast, and it made our family getaway incredibly enjoyable!

Spacious and Modern Cabin

We stayed in a three-bedroom cabin, and it was perfect for our family! The spacious layout, large wall-mounted TV, and well-equipped kitchen made it feel like home. The outdoor area was great for our toddler to play, and the cabin was incredibly clean upon arrival.

Great Entertainment Options

The Retreat had a fantastic game room that provided hours of fun for everyone, including adults! With a PS3 available in our cabin and significant outdoor activities, there was never a dull moment. The entertainment options were impressive!

Relaxing Heated Pool

We spent a lot of time in the heated pool, which was beautifully inviting! The temperature was just right, allowing us to relax and enjoy the water. It was wonderful to have such a lovely leisure facility easily accessible during our stay.

We had a wonderful time at the resort, which was such a hit with the kids! The spacious and clean cabins made our stay comfortable. The amenities, including the pool and water slides, were fantastic, although the noise from the nearby airport was a bit of a downside. Overall, it's a great place for family fun and relaxation, and we plan to return.

We had a wonderful stay in a clean and comfortable cabin that had everything we needed for a family trip. The kids loved the jumping pillow and the trickles, making our experience enjoyable overall. However, the windows in our cabin were in bad shape, with some rot and mold that affected our comfort a bit. Despite that, we would definitely consider coming back again for the kids' enjoyment.

I had a fantastic experience during my stay at the resort! The cabin was spacious and perfect for our family, and the heated pool was a highlight, especially for the kids. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach and access to the coastal park path. The only downside was occasionally hearing planes overhead at night, but it didn’t ruin our trip. Overall, I found it great for family bonding with plenty of activities.

We had a mixed experience at the resort. The kids absolutely loved the facilities, especially the pool and slides, which kept them entertained for hours. However, our cabin was in need of a proper clean. The dirty bathroom and odd bits left behind were quite disappointing. While the resort had many fun activities, the issues with cleanliness and the BBQ facilities not being fully operational took away from the overall enjoyment.

The cabin we stayed in, a Salt Bush Shack, was not cleaned properly, and we found hair and mould in the bathroom. It felt like the room was either neglected or cleaned in a hurry.

I had a mixed experience at the resort spa. On the plus side, the facilities were fantastic for kids, especially the pool area, and the security made me feel safe. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired; we had issues with outdated furniture, uncomfortable beds, and some maintenance problems. While I appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere, I found it hard to justify the price we paid for the level of comfort we received.

We initially stayed in a very old cabin that had significant wear and tear, but after moving to a newer one, we discovered that the beds were still uncomfortable and in need of replacing.

I had to call maintenance multiple times to address issues, which was frustrating, especially when it felt like basic fixes were being overlooked.

Location

The resort is located under the flight path, which made for early mornings and late nights with noise from planes passing overhead, but it's also conveniently close to the beach.
