Mountain View Retreat

Terrific venue for families/groups, but equally food for couples too. Picturesque venue, with common area kitchenettes and lounges

We didn’t end up stay the 2 nights
I know it wasn’t a 5 star motel but it’s not what we had expected
The description of the property was deceiving and misleading
I think the wording needs to be modified to say that the accomodation is a hostel kind of living and that the rooms are adjoining other rooms and not small cabins
This accommodation was not suitable for a family and very claustrophobic
When I called to discuss the accommodation nothing was mentioned and I was lead to believe it was a cabin
They didn’t seem to bother that we left and didn’t stay the allocated nights
It wasn’t the cleanest with bugs in the beds and didn’t feel comfortable
I wouldn’t stay with a family maybe if I was back packing

Everything is best about this place, magical views, nearby shop to rent snow gear, coffee shop just outside, and restaurants close by.
Owner/manager is really friendly and just a call away.
Highly recommended.

I wasn't aware it is a school camp. Rooms are small but if you are only sleeping in their that's fine. There is a general shared kitchen/lounge area. Rooms are clean, lounge suits require a good clean though.

Easiest check-in ever, felt at home as soon as we walked in. Amazing coffee and home-made sausage rolls in the van out the front, as well as ham & cheese croissants and hand-made masks raising money for defibrillator batteries. Back to the room, it was beautiful and cosy, we very much enjoyed our stay in Harrietville. The heater already on when we checked-in was the icing on the cake.

Great owners of the retreat! Super friendly and hopeful us my group and I, knew lots about the area and the mt Hotham. The place we stayed at was very clean, always stocked up with breakfast items, soft beds and heated rooms during the cold nights we were there. They went out of there way for us and would highly recommend this place. Will be staying again when we come back!

We were a group of 20. The rooms were spotless, queen bed was comfy, dorm style room layout. Food was flawless and the hosts were very friendly.don't judge this one by the exterior alone.

This place has a really lovely situation at the base of the mountains, and the owners are fantastic!

We had a brilliant stay, swing rope obstical course was great fun, river behind was beautiful, great fun for the older kids.close to everything, and the owners were an absolute pleasure to deal with and very helpful.will not hesitate to stay there again.building was very clean, beds comfortable.can't thank the owners enough.thanx for having us. (family with 4 children, 10,8,1 and 4.5 months old.)

Amazing family business with amazing friendly service. Fiona always goes above and beyond. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Good value and great location! Was the best offer we could find for 3 persons for 2 nights of stay. Very welcoming and tips were handy.
The place and sheets/towels were clean and well equipped.
Only wish they had a place where we can cook (they do have a BBQ) and a more balanced breakfast (was mostly cereal options and toast).

Perfect location and ideal for group and families. We stayed there for a night and it was a good experience. Self service breakfast included.

Very noisy dying day and night due to group events being allowed to play music too loud
Complained to host but they did nothing

Fiona and her husband run this very friendly, fun and cosy place. Our hosts could not have done more to make our stay enjoyable. They are top quality people. The room was warm, very comfortable and quiet. We just stayed for one night, but would very happily return for longer. Our hosts kindly kept some of our things overnight before we stayed (e.g. Our bicycles) as we went on a hike in the mountains. They even watched out for us to make sure we got back safely. They gave us an excellent dinner recommendation. This is a reasonably priced local place and it should appeal to all those who want to enjoy this lovely part of the world, but who do not seek a shiny/corporate hotel experience. I would highly recommend the Mountain View Retreat.
