“Hillside Retreat”
The area was great such a peaceful back deck and yard. Once we worked out the door it was easy and great. I was able to throw from my phone to the smart TV so that was good. Plenty of room for a group with comfy beds and lounge.

Hello. My daughter’s stay in Belgrave has ended and she has left for her home overseas. I would like to take this opportunity to give you a run-down on the condition of the Zen Retreat as follows:- • The gas heater in the lounge room was very noisy, making an irritating rattling sound continuously when working • The washing machine did not spin the washing dry, resulting in a masses of hand-wringing of sodden clothing. Since she couldn't spin dry the washing, she couldn't use the dryer • The kitchen sinks drain was partially blocked • The rubbish bins were full of rubbish, so there was no where to throw out the new rubbish • There was rotten food in the fridge • The amount of kitchen utensils was absolutely minimal, particularly cooking utensils • Bed and bath linen was supplied without any fresh for changing after 1 one week. Used towels were left behind the bedroom The owner of the Retreat is overseas and although he was very responsive to requests for clean bed linen, or for flooding to be cleaned, it was quite tiresome to have to go through this procedure. It would have been much better if the house had been in better condition and properly equipped, and not have to hear repetitive apologies for the noisy heater, or the semi-functional washing machine, etc. Thank you for your attention to these issues.

“The Little Crooked House of Belgrave”
The location was good as it was only one block away from the train station and only 8km to the venue we were attending a wedding at. Area was lovely around the location of the house and was nice to walk and explore. The hostess was pleasant and friendly and had no issue answering any of my questions as we were coming 800km away with four young children. Was clean and offered linen and towels.
