Tailem Retreat was a very clean, comfortable and modern place to stay. Every thing was easy to use and air conditioning was very efficient on the hot days we stayed there. Don't think we have stayed in a nicer place, highly recommend this rental property. AAA

5 Star Accomodation

The house left a great impression on us. It was impeccably clean and tidy, with all the necessary amenities to ensure our comfort. The owners were excellent communicators, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We were able to stay warm and cozy throughout our visit. Without a doubt, we will be returning for another stay.

Business trip but accommodation felt like home

The property is immaculate with every modern convenience you would need. Beautifully decorated and felt very much like home. Comfortable beds and pillows & lovely soft towels I travelled with a work colleague, and we were able to have our own space after working together all day. Was lovely to have coffee and tea provided and a coffee machine! Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Beautiful property, so comfortable and clean!

Beautiful property, beyond our expectations. So very clean and well maintained. Reverse cycle heating/cooling, beds and sheets/pillows were all very comfortable. Beyond what we expected, this property has ample living space for 8 guests, lots of little touches like coffee pods to use, fast free wifi, TV's with netflix/prime/etc all available and easy to use. Great vicinity to shops (Foodland etc) and an easy drive to The Bend Motorsports Park.

Perfect Bachelorette

My girls and I came for the weekend to celebrate my bachelorette and we fell in love with the place! Chris and Betina were very easy to reach and very accommodating for some minor changes we requested. They presented us with a very well prepared place in terms of providing basics and more. The last night we had a dog enter the property and bark for hours on end, so a strong fence would have made us feel much safer, but other than that, would definitely come again! Massive thank you to the owners.

Hi Yashvi, apologies for late response and the issue you had with the dog. We had been trying for quite a while to get a proper fence and gate installed but had trouble with trades. We finally have the new fence going up next week. Hope you can stay again. Thank you for your feedback.
