Outback experience in comfort

Really enjoyed our short getaway at Katz Retreat. Accommodation has a character - used to be Sunday School house, which is next door to Willowie old church. It is very comfortable with all the bells and whistles. Awesome kitchen - lots of appliances to cook up a storm. Air conditioning works very well through the house.Goat farm and hence many goats, chickens, horses, etc. outside the sliding door adds a country charm experience. The host Katherine is a lovely human being. Thanks again for having us as your guests!

Katz Retreat is a lovely place to stay. The house is spacious and comfortable, Kat is very hospitable and it is wonderful to interact with all the animals in the yard. It's about 20 minutes from Remarkable Ranges National Park. Just note: tap water is not suited for drinking, make sure you bring enough bottled water for drinking and cooking.

Glorious location wonderful house

Unfortunately we only had one night here. Enough for one glorious sunset and one glorious sunrise. We loved the animals in the pens nearby and loved the fabulous kitchen. The host gave us some great insights into the history and geography of the countryside.

Great stay at Katz retreat

My family of 4 including 2 kids aged under 10 had a great time in the comfortable tidy cottage accommodation, the heating works a treat in winter and plenty of amenities. On the property with some friendly roaming goats, lambs, roosters and alpaccas, sheep and a few horses in the paddock. The kids loved it, Kat offers feeding with the animals and is very very welcoming and friendly, and provided us with knowledge of neighbouring towns in the southern flinders and northern. Look foward to returning.

Lovely outback experience

We where looking to escape the city and spend some time in beautiful country Australia. The owner was extremely welcoming and showed us around as soon as we arrived. We had a gorgeous outdoor BBQ and our son loved feeding the animals in the morning…. Would recommend

Enjoyable stay

It was a really good stay after a long day travelling from Coober Pedy. The kids all loved the animals and couldn’t wait to help Katherine feed them in the morning. The kids want to come back and check on the kids (baby goats). Would highly recommend

Awesome quiet family spot

Kat was wonderful to deal with and provided a property perfect for our group with four young children. They loved the space to be outside and the interaction and feeding of the many animals. Kat has done a wonderful job of setting up the outdoor area for guests to use. We'll be back again.
