The Retreat at Amryhouse

Have stayed here twice now. Very nice accommodation with a great garden. We used the outdoor fire which was nice. Also great amount of food , tea and coffee provided. Will be back

Great short break We will be back again ?

I surprised my partner with a 2-night stay here to celebrate his special birthday. What a delight to have this delicious cottage all to ourselves, tucked out of sight of others, and surrounded by restful green lawn, hedges, kookaburras, kangaroos and assorted trees and flowers! With everything we could need ready and waiting, including a superbly-comfortable king bed, and everything spotless and tastefully appointed, it was so easy to rest and rejuvenate together at the Cottage. I just wish we’d had more time to laze on the sun-kissed verandah with a book and coffee... but what with all the nature walks, cafes and restaurants, antique stores, spas and galleries etc. in this region, we were completely spoilt for options to fill our time. It’s a great problem to have, in this beautiful part of the world! Thanks very much, Mary and Derek. We had a wonderful stay at your property and would love to return another time.

This is the most beautiful and clean cottage that we had ever stayed in . So peaceful, a place where you can really recharge your batteries. It is close to great restaurants, walking trails and fishing , everything that me and my husband love. We will be definitely going back again.

We had a wonderful time at the retreat. Mary was just a wonderful host and was very flexible with us as there were some challenges we faced before we arrived. Everything was as advertised and meticulously clean and beautifully presented. Wonderful quiet environment with regular visits from the roos and a rabbit or two! Could not recommend more highly!

Tranquil, beautiful and relaxing. Loved my stay and highly recommend.

Extremely well presented cottage with great attention to detail and nice fittings/decor. My partner and I had a lovely stay. Ten min drive to Woodend for interesting old buildings and great cafes.

One of the best retreats we have ever experienced. The cottage was beautifully presented and very comfortable. It had everything we needed and more! The setting is very peaceful and relaxing. We loved watching the kangaroos every day and the garden was delightful with lavender and flowers. Overall an outstanding retreat, not too far from Woodend. Many thanks to Mary and Derek, who made us feel very welcome. Hope to be back soon!

Mary’s retreat was ideal for a getaway not to far from Melbourne. The stay was very comfortable, peaceful and enjoyable. Mary was very easy to communicate with and we can’t wait to go back.

Hubby & I enjoyed our stay so much! It was so cosy & so clean. The breakfast & all the extra goodies provided were also really impressive. Surrounding towns were a short drive away, close & so beautiful. We will definitely be back. Perfect little getaway.
