Jenny - was a very helpful host . she have provided full details of places to visit and things to do. She is a amazing host i have ever seen. There is so many activities that our kids have not asked us for TV and phones during our stay. Kitchen is fully equiped and provided even small things that sometimes we might forget to carry. we spend a nice quality time wth our friends and family but regret as we had booked for only 2 nights.

If you want to get away from it all but still have every modern amenity you have found your place. The property is immaculate with everything you can wish for and more. It’s so spacious that even having 18 of our friends accompany us there was adequate space for everyone with every possible facility. We didn’t leave the resort the whole weekend!! The only negative thing was the fact that we didn’t book for longer. Highly recommended !!!

Great getaway for a family to relax and see some wildlife. Had breakfast outside on the wide decks with parrots and kookaburras while taking in the bush views. Enjoyed a bush-walk, some tennis and a game of pool. Relaxed around the fireplace on the large lounges in the evenings after a home cooked meal with the family.

We booked out all three cabins for 15 adults and I can say that we had plenty of space. The cabins were immaculate and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The local wildlife were very friendly and a few of us had the courage to hand feed them. Highly recommend this retreat for families or group of friends wanting a quiet relaxing weekend away.

Had a great stay with a large group of families and small kids. The lodges are huge. So much space its overwelming. All nicely decorated. Very classy romantic cabins with fire places and quality furnishings. The glass windows are all around giving amazing views of the valley. Kanagaroos and possums come right up to the door. The reck centre is great with tennis court, spa and play ground. The pool was a bit far away at the Eagle reach resort though. It is a bit of a difficult drive up the mountain so take all the food with you. The kitchens have everything you need and BBQs. Worth the drive. Great place.

Seriously I am lost for words when it comes to banjos retreat. Such luxury, such comfort, everything u will ever need is at ur fingertips. The kids were so sad when it was time to leave. We didn't leave the the retreat the whole stay and boredom was never a factor. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a peaceful, relaxing holiday.
