The Retreat is truly a home away from home: It offered a beautifully and thoughtfully decorated space that added convenience, safety, style, and comfort to my stay. Meroni and Stephen were friendly hosts who kept the place spotlessly clean and very comfortable for the guests. The place was equipped with all the necessary amenities and plus, and a generous and interesting collection of books and DVDs was definitely a bonus. Location-wise, the cottage is located in the vicinity of many tourist attractions in Mornington Peninsular. I enjoyed driving around for sightseeing, walking on many different beaches, cafes, restaurants and eye-shopping and then being able to return to the quiet surrounding of the Retreat to rest. There are also a few working spaces that might be useful for anyone who wants to have a retreat for creative work like I did. Definitely recommend the place and I would revisit it with friends and family in the future.
