Stonehill retreat was the great home away from home experience we had ever experienced. With our 3 yr old son with us, we were bit worried how our stay would be. But Jacqui had arranged for him a collection of toys to play with, movies to watch and bedtime story books to read, so he was never bored. Also, he had a great time at the outdoors watching the birds flying down to feed at the bird feeder area and the kangaroos roaming around the bush lands during the early hours.
To view them roaming freely around the estate while having your breakfast in the retreat was one of a kind experience we had. The Open fireplace was a great experience for us, though we had very little experience how to keep the fireplace going with Blaise’s help we learned quickly the tricks. It’s the best place you can get to curling up in front of the fire with a glass of wine from the local wineries and watching the vast movie collection.
Even though the retreat is well isolated from all, everything is being thought through and planned well over there. The heated flooring in the toilets, the BBQ pit, table tennis table is some of the facilities you get to enjoy over there.
Needless to say, we had a wonderful one week stay at the Stonehill retreat. It was really a home away from home.
