Positive Reviews

Clean, cosy, and restful accommodations.

Guests stated that the tents and cottages are modern, private, and generously-sized. Others added that the accommodations are well-equipped with good kitchens for self-catering, and that the cabins are nice and quiet allowing for a restful stay.

Relaxing location in Soldiers Point.

The retreat is situated near the coast in Soldiers Point and is tucked in a nice tranquil area away from the noisiness of the tourist zones. Visitors also enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and great views as well as being within walking distance of many great restaurants.

Courteous and helpful staff.

The management and retreat staff were praised for their friendliness and professionalism. Visitors reported that the employees were quick to respond to any problems that arose and that the establishment is noticeably well-run.

Negative Reviews

Local fauna can be a bother.

While many guests enjoyed the surrounding wildlife, people also experienced some annoyances with the local fauna. Travellers reported that birds in the area can make a lot of racket in the evenings and that bugs can be a problem in the warmer seasons.

Not a great place for families.

Visitors were disappointed to discover that the retreat no longer allows small children, a recent policy change that does not make the establishment ideal for young families. Others noted that there are a number of rules that some found unnecessarily restricting.

Some amenities need attention.

A number of reviewers noticed some comfort issues in their rooms that they felt held the place back a bit but could be easily fixed. Frequent problems included spotty Wi-Fi, fussy or noisy air-conditioning units, and overly firm beds.
