Perfect for a short couples escape. Beautiful and convenient location. Super easy check in. The only complaint we had (if we were to be picky) was there was no bread knife to cut the delicious fresh bread that was supplied. Would absolutely recommend

The bed was terrible, though it was aimed so you could each adjust your side this property is advised as a romantic place to go and you don’t want the separation line down the middle of the beds. It also felt like we were sleeping on a lilo The included breakfast very poor considering the cost you pay. And could use an upgrade to smart tv. Would not stay again or recommend

Hi Kate, I wished you had have called us, we never knew about the bed, our carers don't lie on it before they make it. The beds are sleep number beds, sold all over the world that you can inflate to your set preference, we have had them for years with no problems, in fact we often get asked about them and where to source them. After your stay (not before) we noticed the bed was augmented and not right, we looked into it and there was a bed slat broken and the inner workings of the bed where completely wrong and had to be refitted. There is now no problem with the bed, it was an easy fix, unfortunately we didn't know of the problem, I think you would agree we would have daily complaints if the bed was always like that. In future at any accommodation please call first we are there to ensure you have a pleasant experience. We advertise and leave a continental breakfast, artisan loaf of bread, local hand made muesli, spreads,local jams and vegemite, Melbourne Roasted Nespresso coffee and T2, as well as juices. We have options for other breakfasts should that be needed.

Great space to stay and soak up some relaxation, stayed for four day and loved every moment. Amenities were great, spa was so relaxing and fire was relatively easy to keep roaring.

Nice hotel in a pretty bush surround.
The accomodation was pleasing on the eye. The room was nice and cool on arrival with complementary wine, breakfast food tea and coffee. The hotel was in a pretty bush setting with easy walking distance to restaurants and cafes. Blue Bean Restaurant was very enjoyable with great food for dinner and breakfast and a lay back atmosphere. It was a lovely quiet private spot to spend the weekend.

AMAZING!! Perfect romantic getaway
It's often pictures do not look like the room at all when you arrive and you're left disappointed but for the first time ever our villa looked exactly how the pictures do and everything about it was amazing!!! The spa in the living room, perfectly placed to sit and enjoy a bubble bath with a glass of wine while watching a movie, then relax on the spacious couches that certainly doesn't leave you fighting for more couch space. The bathroom and shower area was also spacious, bed had electric blanket which was great for the cold night. Had all the appliances I needed including nespresso machines, kettle, breakfast for our morning and other condiments. The wood fire place was perfect, and complimented the time spent in the spa and watching movies. We couldn't seem to locate a remote for the tv in the bedroom or work the microwave/oven but no big deal. I would definitely return for a romantic getaway in a heartbeat

Good stay although plenty of bugs.
Kudos Villas - Temple was good. The spa was fantastic although as we entered the room there were plenty of bugs and throughout the night there was a spider that came out which scared the hell out of me. On the ceiling there were little black worms which one fell to the bed which was quiet frightening.

Getaway without the kids
Grab your wine and food and then you don't have to leave the room. Late check out (midday) makes for relaxing next day start. Place warmed up before we got there. Fire at night, very roomy. Great little extra touches. Highly recommended.

Great location, excellent accommodation
Accommation was easy to find, access to the villa's was also simple. No need to sign in or out but able to make contact with poeple if necessary. The villa contained all amenities mentioned and included smallest of details, such as candles, complimentary wine, marshmellows and other food and beverages. Secluded and serene the villa was nestled amongst nature.
