Beautiful house and very comfortable for 3 couples. Great central location for shops and golfing. Loved the spa after a big day of golf and the large outdoor table on the front patio was a great spot to watch the sunset in the evenings. Host communication was great. Really enjoyed our stay.

Had a lovely weekend at Sunset on the hill. We were a group of 8 playgroup Mums who go away each year. We found the house to be fantastic for a large group. The couches were large and comfortable, great dining table and comfortable beds. Would definitely recommend. Woudefiniterecommend

Thanks Julie! That's great your group enjoyed the house. We'd love to welcome you back again.
I love the split level living with lots of space to spread out and have different things happening in different areas. You can have a movie going the upstairs lounge, card games in the downstairs lounge, cooking in the kitchen, enjoying the spa and playing table tennis all at the same time without being in each other's space. Also super soundproof. We will definitely be coming back. Host is very responsive. It really is everything you need.

Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the split-level layout and made the most of all the different spaces. We'd love to welcome you back again soon.
We had to relocate from Sunset on the Hill to 95 Retreat Sorrento as an emergency had come up only three days before our booking and at first l was so disappointed as sunset on the hill was a beautiful house and just what we were looking for but l definitely was not disappointed!I would highly recommend 95 Retreat, such a beautiful home with so much space and perfect for a group of 8-10 people! It’s very private and quiet and a great spa and pool and a wonderful entertainment area under cover!!I will definitely rebook again and highly recommend this beautiful home!! Kristen was amazing to deal with and very helpful and honestHope you love it as much as Me and my group did!Enjoy from Deb ( Melbourne)

Thanks Deb! I’m really glad Retreat 95 worked out so well for you and your group. Hope to welcome you back again soon!
We loved our stay. We mostly self-catered and the open plan kitchen dining was great for that. A 10 am check-out is a bit tough though, when you also have to put the bins out for rubbish service two days later. Makes the last morning stressful and rushed. We would have enjoyed one more leisurely breakfast together as a group, before going our separate ways. But all in all, it delivered on its promise.

Thanks for your review. We are happy to offer later check outs on request and if we have the availability. Hopefully you can stay again and please don't hesitate to ask for a later check out.
Great size house with multiple and flexible living spaces over two levels. Together with the outdoor spaces (jacuzzi, deck, table tennis table) there was plenty of space for our large group of 10 to spread out and enjoy the house in different ways - this was especially useful for us as the weather wasn’t the best during our stay so we ended up staying indoors more than we anticipated - we commented often that we were lucky to be staying in such a large, flexible house with many different areas to enjoy.
The location is fantastic with only a short 10 min walk to the Rye foreshore, jetty and strip of shops/eateries and 7 minute drive to the hot springs.
Booking process was smooth with clear and prompt communication.
Will definitely look to stay again if holidaying on the Peninsula with a large group in future.

Thanks Cleo! We're so pleased you had a fantastic stay and your group enjoyed the location and space of the house. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
A great family home that accommodates large groups. The home allows you to have a kids zone and adults zone and is extremely flexible. The house was very clean, had everything you need and the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be back.
Absolutely know why this place has its name. Sunsets were glorious. House is beautiful, clean and has room for all. Spa is a fantastic bonus. Close to beach and shopping strip as well as RSL, cafes and Rye hotel. Owners are easy to communicate with and were very accommodating. Overall a wonderful relaxing weekend.

Thank you! I'm so pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay - hopefully you can return again soon.
This is a beautiful property that is spacious and well appointed with everything you need. We loved the spa and outdoor area for relaxing, and dinner on the front deck overlooking the hill was also lovely. A few mins drive from the Rye foreshore and shops. We'll maintained and spotless on arrival. Perfect for families and large groups, we would definitely come back!
