Wonderful stay
The house was spacious, clean and very comfortable, huge variety of cooking utensils. We had 5 adults and 2 children 1 & 4 years old, the kids loved the dvds and were quite excited that there were toys for them to play with. Just a little negative was that the Retreat was listed as 1.5km from dundee but its about 15km…. It didnt worry us in the slightest .. we loved the accomodation 😁(Miss 4 year old said it was the best holiday house she has been too 😊j. Will definitely be coming back 10/10

An overall tidy property with a large house. Location is great which is barely 10 min from the Lodge. It is better to stay in that area, rather than close to the Lodge as there are far fewer mosquitoes than the beach/forest area. Nice cool pool. Amazing rock seating area out back.
