It was exactly as described, a beautiful quiet place to rest. Added bonus was full of retro furnishing, we loved it. Also the dog Jake on the property was lovely and friendly and we will miss him. Would recommend anyone to stay that just wants a genuine down to earth stay thats value for money. Thank you Pamela.

We liked the ability to be able to come and go as we pleased however this was over shadowed by the host watching our every move. The accommodation was clean but everything was old and secondhand. The host felt she needed to go through the accommodation every day while we were there to check on our toilet paper. She was very intrusive even to the point of pushing in the door when my husband answered to talk to me while i was in bed. We would definitely not stay here again.

This was a nice, comfortable retreat on beautiful premises. Nothing fancy but everything one needs to get away and relax. Beautiful walk into Bridgetown along the river..(we were unlucky because the pedestrian crossing had washed out..) Beautiful area. We stayed in the chalet and were quite satisfied. Pamela also offers fresh oranges and apples, jams and fresh eggs!

Nice location, rooms are in very poor condition.

Pros: Location.
Cons: General condition of the place is very poor. Most guests don't appreciate sharing bathrooms with one another.
Location: I really enjoyed Bridgetown - there's some lovely views and walks to be had and the café on the main street is fantastic.
Doors at Pamela's Retreat aren't closed using the usual locks with a snib on one side and a keyhole on the other. Instead, a sliding bolt lockable and unlockable only from the outside is used - this means that someone can inadvertently trap you inside your room, and your privacy is compromised because you can't lock it from the inside. Aging wallpaper peels from the plastered walls. The ill-fitting, threadbare carpet shifts around as you walk on it. Pieces of wooden trim hang down in the corners of the ceiling. The bedside lamps lack light bulbs, and the shower is as warm and satisfying as standing outside in the drizzle. To put it charitably, the place is falling apart. On the other hand, the lady we met was nice enough and I love the view from the yard - the place is situated most of the way up a hill and gives a great vista over the valley and across Bridgetown itself. The dog is a quiet, friendly soul who is very pleased to meet guests. My recommendation to the owners of Pamela's is this: close the place for a week or two, and: Remove the peeling wallpaper and renew the plaster and paint. Replace the aging carpet with something a little more modern, and use underlay this time so it doesn't feel like you're walking on a picnic blanket. Get rid of the barely-working showerhead and replace it. Paint the ceilings properly. Delete your cheap excuse for locks and replace them with locking handles which allow security and privacy. Place could be lovely but it needs work.

disappointed

Pros: It was in the country,
Cons: Kitchen/bathroom needs complete overhaul, kitchen contents need to be modernised, needs adequate basic amentities like sheets, light globes and towels
Location: Bridgetown and Blackwood river very pretty, people very friendly, Nannup and forest nearby are lovely
Our room was booked for 4 but could really only cater for max of 3. Sheets were only provided for the double and single bed, the fourth person had to bunk on a very hard sofa bed which was only about 150cm long, or a small matress which was about 80cm wide and not in good condition. Contents of the room were all very old, second hand and tired looking with the exception of the TV and the airconditioner. Towels were clean but one was covered in green paint. Hot water was intermittent making for unpleasant showers. Although lights and lamps were present, only 2 had globes provided. 'View of Lake' was really just a small manmade dam in a paddock, 'pleasant walks' was a 5minute walk to the dam. Kitchen was filled with brikabrak including disposable plastic plates and cups and other outdated junk, fridge is outside the room in the cold. There were signs of 'do not do this and do not do that' everywhere. 'Self contained retreat' is really a small extremely drafty room tacked on to the side of the owners garage. I am not usually a complainer but this is seriously overpriced for what you get. Pictures on the website manage to hide the worst. Very disappointed and couldnt leave quick enough...
