About the host
Hosted by JANINE EPERE
I am CEO of a not for profit called Destiny Haven ( A generous supporter gifted ValleyView Luxury Retreat to us to help us make money to help the women in our residential treatment program. Our women clean and meticulously care for Valley View with pride and are very aware of our desire to make it the most wonderful place to stay. Many guests return again and again because of the location (30 feet from the edge of Mt. George) with stunning views and the luxury we provide for our guests. Check out our worthy cause and know that when you book with us, your rental money is going to an incredibly worthy cause. I was a finalist in the Telstra BusinessWomens' Awards 2017, recognised for Purpose and Social Enterprise excellence. I am very honoured to be founder and leader of this incredible organisation ( that has changed the lives of hundreds of women. Their lives are transformed and they not only recover from their traumatic pasts, 'Destiny Haven' affords them daily opportunity to gain skills and confidence being highly involved in our social enterprise. Our primary goal is to help women to begin to dream big and crazy and to help upskill them to one day be world changers who will influence others.
Why they chose this property
Valley View is pure luxury. Why choose us? We not only have an unbeatable view, our place is filled with top class furnishings, the most comfortable pillow topped beds with 1500 thread count linens and you will not want to leave! I have travelled widely and have made sure that ValleyView includes all the things I WISHED were at all the places I have stayed. It can be a hassle to take little luxuries like good coffee and tea, salt/pepper, sauces, oils and vinegars, candles and staples like serviettes, paper towels and washing powder/fabric softener, even bathsalts. Often I forget a toothbrush or toothpaste. We have put all of these in our luxury retreat and more. Our guests love the fact that these are there, and often comment on the little things that make the difference. I believe they do. We will do anything to make our guests feel at home and know that when you stay, you will have the most amazing time. Our resident wildlife is unique. A colony of roos and wallabies graze at the door and we provide food for you and your guests to have an up close and personal experience with the roos and birdlife. The six person hot tub on it secluded and private deck is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the stunning view over the mountain as it shifts and changes with mist, clouds, sunsets etc. Many find surprising photo opportunities as eagles soar, male roos scuffle or box and many varieties of native birds drop in to feed from our bird feeders (we provide seed for you to feed them).
What makes this property unique
Four bedrooms, all with their own TVs. Huge screen TV (65 inch curve) in the lounge with loads of DVDs. 2 bathrooms, one with spa bath for two. Hot tub on private deck, full size billiard table in its own dedicated games room for some of your group to hang out while the rest watch a movie in the lounge. Two bicycles for exploring the thousands of acres of trails, two fishing rods to visit the lake and fish for trout, feed for the roos and wallabies and birdlife abundant, condiments and all you could need for your stay. Two of the bedrooms have a king size bed (can be split to singles for a ladies retreat), the other two have a double and single and we also have two fold out single beds that can be placed where you wish. The kitchen is fully equipped with good quality pots and ample storage. We have a kitchen aid Nespresso machine and provide ample pod varieties for your enjoyment. A wide selection of Twinings teas, grinder salt and pepper, oil, sauces and essential spreads. We also provide foil, baking paper, cling wrap, paper towels, serviettes and candles to scent the whole place if you wish. Optional handmade gourmet pizzas made from scratch can be purchased for you to enjoy the coal fired pizza oven on the deck or the indoor electric pizza oven. Three separate decks to enjoy the view and relax. One with a hammock, one with alfresco dining and a BBQ and the other with loungers and table to enjoy the view. Our home is metres from the edge of Mt George and all our rooms have floor to ceiling glass for you to enjoy the view. Our home has ducted air conditioning throughout and ample pillows to choose from. We provide a selection of good DVDS and books to read and we have satellite internet if you wish to bring your Apple TV for Netflix.
