Stayed for two nights with my husband . Sue was lovely but the whole resort is in desparate need of renovation, cleaning and heavy duty gardening. Lake front room we stayed had faulty microwave.(electric sparks- sue replaced it) There is no lake - its a false advetising. At best there was pond there once upon a time.Not this weekend. Just bush with lots of broken trees debris and all in all desparate need for cleaning.Mould all over the place, very dusty, stickly floors and windows. It is clear as day Sue is trying to keep this place running by her self. Respect for her. But we will not be coming back as there are many other options to choose for same price (or less) in better condition.
We loved the quiet seclusion of these lovely cabins, the enclosed balcony, comfortable King bed and peaceful charm of the decor all exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you to Sue and the team for your wonderful hospitality.
I will start with the good. Sue was an absolute delight and upgraded us to a bigger room for free and it was very quiet, which was lovely. The room left alot to be desired though, for an upgraded room, it was not clean enough at all and very out dated. We made a list of the issues that we found, which in itself, is not a good sign. The room was so dusty, my wife had to get an inhaler and I had to get Telfast just to breathe. We had to get antibacterial wipes to clean along windows and side boards. There was only one very small bin, no tissues and an empty toilet roll in the bathroom (there were plenty of replacement rolls) The curtains didn't shut all the way, the screen door was badly broken, the shower had mould and leaked badly, the gutters were beyond full of leaf litter, the grounds were badly over grown, we couldn't find anywhere to go explore the grounds, the air con blades were so mouldy, my wife had an asthma attack. We were hoping to get a massage, as we were on our honeymoon but this was not an option as no services of that kind were available. The continental breakfast was cereal and Granola in jars with no scoops (we couldn't be certain that no one else had put there hands in there) the juice in the fridge was half empty and out of date by 4 months. I'm sure in its day, this place was amazing as there were some beautiful pieces of art work and lovely furnishings but as everything is badly outdated, alot of things like chairs are splitting and the sheets were piling badly. The dining area was also covered in thick cobwebs. I had to contort myself to get to a power point to charge our phones and faced a blast of dust doing it. There were ladders overgrown in the gardens, the water tank was badly overgrown, the kitchen was very dusty and not overly well presented. I feel bad for this review as Sue is very lovely and clearly doing it all on her own but some very simple upgrades and cleaning would boost this place alot. To pay more upfront for checking in on a Sunday afternoon was also not a good look.
Stayed recently whilst attending a wedding location near by. Stayed in cabin 7 with my family (2 adults 2 kids). Was beautiful, heaps of room balcony was stunning looking out over the trees. Fabulous location.
Cannot speak more highly of Mt Cotton Retreat. It's just the perfect setting with private cabins which are the perfect size. The bathroom was bigger than expected, and the whole cabin is extremely clean. The most beautiful secluded view of the forest creating a lovely tranquil feel. Just the perfect distance from the hustle and bustle of the roads and shops, but feels far enough away to relax. Thank you for making this the perfect stay that we need.
