Great Holiday accommodation
The setting of these units are fantastic, leafy surrounds with the sound of birds. Premises are older style but everything clean and what is needed. Airconditioned and fans. Units are nicely set apart giving some privacy to each. Also nice under cover patio with seating making it a pleasant outdoor experience as well. Would always stay there again. Staff a very friendly and helpful.

Great cabin!
Cabin location was near all amenities. Kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfy and bathroom had 2 sinks! The ping pong table was a bonus! And seeing the sand dunes from our cabin was a surprise! The Stockton Beach sand dunes were walking distance from the cabin!

Port Stephens wonderful place to visit (reasonable priced dolphin cruises in nelson bay a must do). The Retreat was a nice budget options, place clean and nice and quite. Hot water ran out quite quick but assume is standard for cabin accomadation. reception staff helpful. Need a car if staying here as nothing really walking distance but by car easy enough to get around.

Ok.just ok
Advertising WiFi and having WiFi are two different things. WiFi was virtually non existent and the offer if "use the office" not much help at all. The cabin itself was OK. The air conditioning is really badly placed being in the kitchen directly over the cooktop. Air-conditioning struggled with the heat. As I say,the stay was just OK.

Dog friendly cabin.
Booked a dog friendly cabin only to be given one that wasn't. Had to pay $80 clean up fee and move ourselves to dog friendly cabin the next morning.The eco friendly cabin certainly was that with ants and cockroaches in the bathroom and kitchen. When you tried to escape these you couldn't open the screen door - door handle jams. Cover on remote control kept falling off and shower screen rails were rusty and dated.This was disappointing as we were staying there to be near a engagement party but this experience has turned us off wanting to stay there for the wedding. Also when we arrived there was a naked man and drunk blokes hanging around the barbecue area and making lots of noise.

Nice cabins near the sand dunes
Only stayed 2 nights but the cabin was clean, warm and comfortable. Staff friendly and very helpful. Sand dunes at back door and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise atop a dune overlooking the ocean, whales passing by on their migration north.

Affordable Christmas stopover
The resort was more of a caravan park feel than a "resort" but very friendly staff and lovely surrounds. Pros - The cabin was extremely well equipped, carport and balcony great. Cons - the bed not as comfy as hoped and I don't like a shower curtain. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and made full use of the laundry facilities after camping in the rain the previous couple of days. A great place to stop on our road trip without spending a fortune.

Great location, lovely bush setting,
Convenient location, many beaches close by to choose from, shops and pubs short drive away. Not too crowded, privacy in cabins. Great pool. Lovely games room. Excellent BBQ areas. Cabins equipped with everything you could possibly need. Well behaved dogs welcome ( which is great if you like dogs, not so great if you don't).
