Jodie's Golden Beach retreat was everything she described and more. I bought a two night stay for my parents as a xmas gift and they loved it. Situated in a great location in Torquay, in a gorgeous street, very close to everything you need. There was a lovely view from the lounge room to the tip of the ocean and the back room had a lovely view of their trees. Saw plenty of cockatoo's and other lovely birds. It was a very peaceful retreat, we felt at home the minute we stepped foot inside. The design was gorgeous, Jodie has put a lot of time and care into designing the retreat and it really showed. Little added touches of choices of cereal, eco friendly hand-wash etc were very nice. On top of all of this, she was a wonderful host, always happy to go beyond in her hospitality. I highly recommend this property and look forward to my next stay sometime in the future :)
