  Fantastic trip to the Blue Cliffs Retreat in Hepburn. The owners were incredibly helpful beforehand providing us with details of places to eat and things to do. We stayed in the hideaway villa which was just perfect. The photos on the website really don't do it justice, with a really secluded feel, and great views from the balcony and bath/Jacuzzi. There are only 3 or 4 properties on the whole complex so younreslly do feel like you have sufficient space. Already planning our next trip back! 10/10!

  Nice looking place, beautiful artwork and great location. But questionable hygiene and safety standards. Screws on the bed, dirty blankets, water heating-cooling issues. Not a good experience if you want a glitch free, peaceful getaway as you'll be questioning yourself constantly as to what is clean and what is not. :(

  Dirty and Disappointing
  
  The pictures on the website show a beautiful lake with a paddle boat in it. THESE DO NOT REPRESENT THE STATE OF BLUE CLIFFS RETREAT.
  
  In reality, the grounds are overgrown, the gazebo is corroded, the pond is dirty.
  
  Hideaway villa, where we stayed was full of dust and cobwebs. The dishes were dirty. The place hadn't been cleaned at all as shown in my pictures. The host states that you should call within 2 hrs of arriving if you have any issues. We got in at 930pm and the state of the place was such that we would have had to leave.
  
  The jacuzzi tub, which is the major selling feature of the property, was dirty and surrounded in a layer of dust. We cleaned it out and tried to fill it, but the water was yellow and as soon as we turned the jets on it blew a bunch of chunky brown stuff into the water. It is so disgusting that we didn't even shower while we were here.
  
  And no wonder the dishes were dirty. The host asks you to do your own dishes before you leave, but the cleaning supplies are just as disgusting as the rest of the place.
  
  We travelled all over Australia and New Zealand and this is by far the most disgusting place we've ever stayed. Holiday Parks and Hostels are cleaner than this. And at $250/night, anticipating a romantic getaway, I can't even communicate how disappointing it is.
  
  We poked around the property and the other places are just as gross. From the photos on the website, they used to look amazing. But this is a false representation.
  
  Would not recommend.

  Secluded location and intimate, yet spacious space. We had the entire retreat to ourselves (visited midweek). Would visit again. Only complaint is that the firewood was damp and there wasn't an axe to cut it in smaller chucks.
