Received extremely poor customer service by the FOH staff (Yvette & Dana) shortly after checking in. Walked into our room to find the couch broken and in an unusable state and the room only partly cleaned. Yvette & Dana were extremely unhelpful and dismissive.

The BOH head cleaner (Bec) was extremely helpful and a great problem solver. She had us in our new room about an hour and a half after checking in.

This was our 3rd time staying at the Retreat and couldn't believe how unhelpful the FOH staff were. Wasted 90 precious minutes until Bec was able to get us in a room that was fit for purpose.

Very disappointing way to start our vacation.

Upon checkout 2 days later, the FOH staff on this occasion was the very experienced Peter, who was actually working his last day at the Retreat. He was great, apologetic and had the empathy to understand why we were upset and disappointed at the state of the room, and more importantly, as to why we were upset at the treatment that we received from the FOH staff Yvette and Dana.

The room/chalet was probably better than the rooms at the Crown in Perth, though just make sure you take an insect repellent & a USB with all your own movies on it - the WiFi is average due to it coming in by satellite and you pretty much only have a choice of normal TV and Foxtel Premier Movies & Comedy Movies.

The room/chalet is luxurious, polished granite floor tiles, a spa tub & shower, a fully functional kitchen with Miele appliances, spacious, adjoined to the back of the room is a beautiful private wooden deck with a BBQ; which overlooks the tranquil bush land, etc, etc - it blew me away actually!

In the morning while sitting on the wooden deck while watching the sunrise, a Mother & Joey kangaroo hop past about 10 meters away - the whole stay was an awesome experience.

The only real negatives I could say (apart from the 2 mentioned above) were that the mattress was quite hard and so were the pillows.

Overall - 9/10

Peaceful getaway, well appointed chalets

Very well maintained chalet with above average amenities. Washer, dryer, fridge and other kitchen appliances were relatively high end and great to use. Washer and dryer were surprisingly quiet, which is good for families with young children as parents are putting them to sleep. Chalet was spacious with 1.5 baths and 2 bedrooms.

The only thing to point out is that the rooms do not have individual heating or cooling. The living area has a gas powered heater and the dining area has an air-conditioner. So you can control the temperature of the living and dining spaces but not the rooms. We went in winter and so the floors would get really cold at night and the first thing in the morning.

There is not much to do at the retreat - there is a beautiful lake, where you can take morning strolls and maybe do a spot of fishing, but that’s about it. About 20 mins out from Margaret River town centre.

Well designed, spacious and clean place in a nice location for visiting wineries. Decent kitchen, washing machine, spacious bathroom.

The pillows supplied are hands down the most lumpy uncomfortable I've slept on in the 300+ hotels and hostels I've stayed at. Other than that the place is flawless.

Nice. But has maintenance issues.

Our stay at eight willows was mixed. Firstly, we enjoyed our apartment. Lovely location, spacious and convenient. However, upon checking in, when we were going to shower the kids, we found the shower hose has fallen off the shower head. As it was after 5pm (reception closes at 5pm) we had to wait till the morning to get this reported and fixed. We ended up having to ‘shower’ 2 young kids in bathtub. The other issue was the cabinet door of the washing machine. It was loose and it fell on my foot. When I reported this to the front desk, the reception acknowledged that it was a known problem and she will look into getting it fixed. Was disappointing that there was no sign on the door to warn guest of it falling since the problem was already known. Thankfully it didn’t happen to the kids!

Hopefully our next stay will be a more positive one.

Disappointing

Cabin was clean and spacious. Grounds are pretty.

However, the truth is wifi is almost non-existent, so “free wifi” as it is marketed, isn’t true. When asked, the staff told us the wifi has been a long-standing problem in the last few years, but this isn’t made known on the website, for obvious reasons. You can’t receive emails, texts, send images or even Google anything at all. Very frustrating to say the least.
Housekeeping is only done on the 3rd day, which was fine by us, except it was also completely not done at all. They completely forgot to do BOTH our cabins we booked.
We were very upset because we had no more clean towels and were expecting them. Reception closes at 5pm, so when we returned from a day out at 6pm plus, and saw our cabins completely undone still, we called up to ask what had happened. They apologised but said they were off work for the day, and we were therefore left on our own to figure things out late in the evening with trash bins not emptied, damp and dirty towels from 3 days of use, and beds not made.

We checked out the next day as scheduled, and they apologised, and that was about it.

This was a very disappointing experience for such a well-reviewed hotel. Wifi and housekeeping are basic things paying guests expect.
