We were extremely disappointed with the quality of this property considering the very high price. We decided to leave a day early preferring to end our stay short than pay the exorbitant price tag.

The photos don't show the external of the building and on arrival it was evident that the building itself is unmistakably a converted colour-bond shed ( the original shed's roller doors box clad on the interior of the building and original shed door as our first introduction to the house quickly brought down our holiday mood) . The view is picturesque and the location is lovely, but the property itself seems to be maintained to the minimum standard with very little care given to detail. Old dying plants, empty pots, a rusty mop bucket, broken glass and miscellaneous pavers lay strewn around the decking. The pizza oven area is overrun with weeds and apart from a few nice old fruit trees and the surrounding gums, there is no garden.
The inside of the house has a basic set up- it was comfortably furnished and reasonably clean. But, it is not luxurious and we were expecting more refinement considering the price being asked suggests that their is something exceptional about this house and what it's offering its guests.
Otway Retreats did issue us a refund for the night we did not stay, were responsive to communication and acknowledged our concerns; which was appreciated. But, what would be more appreciated would be a few photos of the external building and a lowered rate for future guests so that they are paying in alignment to the quality of the property.
