The Hidden Retreat has character, charm and is better than expected. The home is clean and spacious, the bed and furniture extremely comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. The entire space had a calming, serene feel and all the qualities necessary to escape from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, and without having to leave the city. Walking distance from both Southern Cross and Flinders Street train stations, although closer to Flinders Street. Well worth the expense.
