Excellent house

Beautiful house and very comfortable for 3 couples. Great central location for shops and golfing. Loved the spa after a big day of golf and the large outdoor table on the front patio was a great spot to watch the sunset in the evenings. Host communication was great. Really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing for larger groups and families

I love the split level living with lots of space to spread out and have different things happening in different areas. You can have a movie going the upstairs lounge, card games in the downstairs lounge, cooking in the kitchen, enjoying the spa and playing table tennis all at the same time without being in each other's space. Also super soundproof. We will definitely be coming back. Host is very responsive. It really is everything you need.

We had to relocate from Sunset on the Hill to 95 Retreat Sorrento as an emergency had come up only three days before our booking and at first l was so disappointed as sunset on the hill was a beautiful house and just what we were looking for but l definitely was not disappointed!I would highly recommend 95 Retreat, such a beautiful home with so much space and perfect for a group of 8-10 people! It’s very private and quiet and a great spa and pool and a wonderful entertainment area under cover!!I will definitely rebook again and highly recommend this beautiful home!! Kristen was amazing to deal with and very helpful and honestHope you love it as much as Me and my group did!Enjoy from Deb ( Melbourne)

Beautiful house, great for entertaining

We loved our stay. We mostly self-catered and the open plan kitchen dining was great for that. A 10 am check-out is a bit tough though, when you also have to put the bins out for rubbish service two days later. Makes the last morning stressful and rushed. We would have enjoyed one more leisurely breakfast together as a group, before going our separate ways. But all in all, it delivered on its promise.

A fantastic stay

Great size house with multiple and flexible living spaces over two levels. Together with the outdoor spaces (jacuzzi, deck, table tennis table) there was plenty of space for our large group of 10 to spread out and enjoy the house in different ways - this was especially useful for us as the weather wasn’t the best during our stay so we ended up staying indoors more than we anticipated - we commented often that we were lucky to be staying in such a large, flexible house with many different areas to enjoy. The location is fantastic with only a short 10 min walk to the Rye foreshore, jetty and strip of shops/eateries and 7 minute drive to the hot springs. Booking process was smooth with clear and prompt communication. Will definitely look to stay again if holidaying on the Peninsula with a large group in future.
