Had such a lovely stay at Vivere Retreat. The accommodation was incredibly cozy and peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind. One of the highlights was even spotting a deer nearby — such a beautiful and calming experience. Would definitely love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Vivere Retreat (23–25 December)! Julie and Rod’s cottage was cozy, welcoming, and very comfortable, set in beautifully peaceful natural surroundings. Our kids loved the space and being close to nature, and everything was thoughtfully set up for families. Highly recommended for a relaxing family getaway!

This was one of, if not the most beautiful accommodation I've ever stayed at. The surrounding area was truly stunning and the studio itself was clean, comfortable, and stocked with just about everything you could need. We had an absolutely delightful stay and I couldn't recommend this place more.

The studio we stayed in was clean and well facilitate, The view was amazing, we needed to get away from our busy life in Melbourne and relax and Vivere retreat offered just that. We also go to visit Noojee Trestle Bridge which is a 20 minuet drive. Overall this retreat is well worth a visit.

The Studio was perfect for us, small and perfectly formed with everything you could possibly need for a weekend or midweek break. Spotlessly clean and comfy bed.Very quiet and I loved the tranquility of the views. The gardens were really well looked after and the alpacas, sheep and baby lambs were adorable. Will definitely return.

Major issue was communication. Apparently the contact number we were provided with was not working so issues that arose in relation to our stay could not be dealt with in a timely fashion.

Lovely and cute... Nice getaway for our little family and there were even toys for my three year old to play with and entertain him all night. He loved it and he loved the big spa bath also. We relaxed in front of the fire with a cheese platter and freshly cooked chocolate & raspberry muffins made from our lovely host Ange. Thank very much.
