Guest rating: 5/5  - Rachelle, QLD - March 10

"Excellent. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It had all the amenities you would need for a short stay. Having breakfast served to you in your own cottage is also a rare treat that starts the day off well."
Guest rating: 4/5  - Trish, VIC - February 10

"Great quiet retreat. Jenny was a perfect host.
It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. The cottage was homely with everything you need down to the wine and Pink Lady chocolates and was unsurpassed in cleanliness. "

"What a delightful place! We enjoyed our wine and chocolates by the warm fire in the evening and a cooked breakfast plus a walk by the Emerald Lake in the morning.The decor is tasteful, the bath is huge [if you can cope with the water-guilt] and Jenny our hostess offered helpful advice on places to visit in the Dandenongs.I didn't know pet-friendly places could be this good."

Guest rating: 5/5  - Sue, VIC - September 09

"The Accommodation was great and secluded even though we were next door to the owners. The breakfast that we were served was terrific,beautifully cooked and delicious. Comfortable beds added to the relaxation and not far from Emerald Lake which made for a lovely walk. Many beautiful walks around the place as well. The Chocolates and Wine on Arrival made for a lovely welcome. (The Chocolates were top quality as well). The Location was great because it was not far from Melbourne which made for an easy drive home on the Sunday. My Wife fully enjoyed her Birthday present."

Guest rating: 5/5  - Anna, NSW - December 08

"Absolutely perfect! We were totally spoilt. From the yummy chocolates and champagne on our arrival to the wonderfully fluffy towels and robes which enticed us into the spa. The luxurious bedding made waking up VERY leisurely only to be outdone by the indulgent cooked breakfasts. Lovely garden setting to enjoy the colourful birdlife. Great massage too! Excellent! Will recommend to everyone looking for peace and tranquility.

Guest rating: 5/5  - Richard, VIC - July 08

"Our stay was absolutely superb. The first thing we noticed was the fresh clean air. It was a well-appointed, delightful cottage with all amenities including spa and a private fenced courtyard for our puppy. The cooked breakfasts each morning were sensational - and with so much to see and do, we would highly recommend Glenview Retreat as a fabulous getaway to anyone. So close to Melbourne and yet so liberating! Thanks again!"

"Our 4 legged baby enjoyed it just as much as we did. Jenny made us so welcome, she made our dinner reservations, had the fire on and cabin toasty warm, and made my husband the cutest little cupcakes to wake up to on his 30th b'day....and all for under $200!!! (oh and the brekkie...mmmm"

"Very relaxing stay in a beautiful area. The spa bath was awesome, and the complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates were much appreciated. It definitely served it's purpose, which was to get away from the city for a night of relaxing and luxury."
Guest rating: 4/5  - Tracy, VIC - June 07

"'Glenview Retreat' is the perfect home away from home. We had a lovely time! The cottages are private, a perfect little hiding spot to get away from it all. The little touches that Jenny goes out of her way to add are lovely: the chocolates, the wine, the fire already on when you arrive and even little birthday cakes and candles with the breakfast tray!! We had a double massage in the cottage too, which was the perfect start to our relaxing stay. THANKS!"
Guest rating: 5/5  - Alison, VIC - May 07

"Sheer delight- was the first impression on entering our cottage accommodation. The one night stay was not long enough but it was all the time we had at our disposal. There is nothing left wanting, as Jenny has thought of absolutely everything for the comfort of her guests. She was very generous in allowing our terrier inside with us. It was very cold weather and we all appreciated the gas/log fire. Our cooked breakfast was served piping hot and right on time. We had a pang of regret at having to leave. Jen is the "hostess with the mostest" and what a lovely person she is. We certainly want to visit again and stay longer in that delightful bushland setting. Congratulations to 'Glenview.'"
Guest rating: 5/5  - Bruce, VIC. - May 07

"I enjoyed the cottage immensely, especially the gas log fire. It was so relaxing and the service was sensational. I have to admit the hot cooked breakfasts were a real treat!"
Guest rating: 4/5  - Kylie, VIC - April 07

"My stay at 'Glenview' was fantastic. My cottage was absolutely perfect for what I wanted; a quiet time. Service was of a very high standard, and I will certainly be going back."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Georgia, VIC - April 07

"I can't rate our stay at 'Glenview' highly enough - it was perfect. I can't fault Jenny's hospitality and service. The accommodation was idyllic. And the price was incredibly reasonable, considering how lovely everything was. When we arrived we stretched out in front of the open fire with a bottle of complimentary bubbly, which was an immediate indication of how relaxing our weekend was to be."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Tara, NSW - April 07

"A truly wonderful stay, just what we needed and wanted. We hope to return in the future.
Wonderful atmosphere and a great brekkie."
