My partner and i plus 3 of our mates had a great stay overall at the retreat. The bungalow was a decent size with comfortable beds although it did feel strange having to all share the bathroom as well as use the sink to rinse coffee cups etc as there isnt any other sink except for the bathroom. There also wasnt any privacy at all for the mates of ours who slept in the other beds as there isnt actually two bedrooms as such, there is just one bedroom with the additional 3 beds being out in an open plan area with the fridge, small kitchen bench, lounge chair and pantry/personal cupboard space room where the beds are all side by side. The bungalow had a wonderful verandah out the front though which comfortably seated all of us and was nicely tucked away behind fencing but still had a view as we were at the top of the hill :) All of the staff that we met were very friendly and helpful and the bbq area was just fantastic. We made most of our meals there and it was always quiet and clean and there was plenty of seating + bench space to prepare food. We did love happy valley as a location and went fishing right in front of the retreat afew times but we were definitely glad to have two very reliable and capable 4wds to get us around to the other beautiful spots we waned to visit as everything is abit of a drive. Happy valley didnt have too much of a range of shops so be sure to bring as many of your own groceries as you can. Overall a peaceful and good value property though.
