We had a lovely stay with a very warm welcome. The food hamper was amazing, full with fresh eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon and sausages. The cottages are very spacious, a small down-side was that the kids have to sleep in the living room, an extra room would have been a bit more practical. The Alpacas were funny, but the biggest...

We just had my husbands 60th there and was a great success. We had around 36 people ranging from 4 months old to 84yrs old. Everyone had a great time. The pool/spa was great and the cottages great, very spacious. We used the gazebo, using the tables and chairs that are there. We sat 36 people. We used diamonds catering... More

Loved this place, so quiet away from the hussle and bussle of the city. You couldn't even hear the cars from the nearby road. The cottage was fully equipt with a lovely breakfast hamper for the next morning. The real log fire completed the place. We had views of the rolling hills and the lake. Relaxed in the pool and...

Madison Mountain Retreat has become our ‘bolt hole’; we are quickly approaching double figures having stayed there now nine times. Why do we return? If you are busy and needing time to rest and relax this is the place to go. The primary reason we enjoy it so much is you are left alone to rest, but the friendly staff... More

We recently visited Madison's Mountain Retreat during a visit to the Blue Mountains. Everyone we spoke with said we had to stay at Madison's so we checked it out. We stayed in the Train Carriage so that the children would enjoy it the most, even though there was 5 of us (one was only 1 and had his own bed).... More

We stayed at this retreat a while ago, but since they started advertising more widely we feel it is important to warn people that we found the train carriages to be totally unacceptable. We raised this when we left, but no concern was shown for our comment, and we were not in a position to argue at that stage. If... More

You say that you stayed a while ago - that must be correct because we have fully refurbished the trains. They have been painted inside and out, new linen, new kitchen (new cupboards, full sized fridge, convection microwave, glass cooktop), new flooring, new TVs, new DVDs. When you stayed, it was the cheaper option by $50/night, but now they are... More

We thought the idea of staying in an old converted railway carriage would be be a unique experience for our daughter's birthday. It was quite spacious and the main bed was comfy with nice pillows and quilt. The second bed in the living area was just OK, but with older bedding and lumpy pillows. It was noisy when opening the...

We provide a selection of 5 different types of pillows in each cabin/train carriage. If the pillow on the bed was not to your liking, you could switch it with one of the spare pillows provided. Some people prefer feather (providing "lumpiness") and some prefer polyester. You did not mention that your adult daughter soiled the bedding on the first... More

Set in the blue mountains (via Richmond), this place was so impressive. Big fun for kids, heated swimming pool, alpacas, chickens, ducks, beautiful scenery. The cottages were not spotless but clean overall, furnitures were a bit old but we had no issues, event hough we are very picky of places we stay. More
