We really enjoyed our stay at Bay Vista Retreat. Our kids absolutely loved the gardens but the house is full of gorgeous antiques and open ponds so you have to constantly supervise the little ones. I wouldn’t recommend it for kids under 5 if you want a low anxiety holiday. Otherwise the place is huge and perfect for large groups.
It’s located out of town so best to self-cater. Our hot tip: The house is in the Woolworths delivery area and make sure you order everything you need as there’s limited condiments provided (no cooking spray or tomato sauce etc) and it’s a 15min drive to town if you need anything.
