This was one of, if not the most beautiful accommodation I've ever stayed at. The surrounding area was truly stunning and the studio itself was clean, comfortable, and stocked with just about everything you could need. We had an absolutely delightful stay and I couldn't recommend this place more.

The Studio was perfect for us, small and perfectly formed with everything you could possibly need for a weekend or midweek break. Spotlessly clean and comfy bed.Very quiet and I loved the tranquility of the views. The gardens were really well looked after and the alpacas, sheep and baby lambs were adorable. Will definitely return.

The studio we stayed in was clean and well facilitate, The view was amazing, we needed to get away from our busy life in Melbourne and relax and Vivere retreat offered just that. We also go to visit Noojee Trestle Bridge which is a 20 minuet drive. Overall this retreat is well worth a visit.

Major issue was communication. Apparently the contact number we were provided with was not working so issues that arose in relation to our stay could not be dealt with in a timely fashion.
