“Fabulous place, wonderful owners and staff”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

I had the privilege of staying at Big Blue Backyard in late March. The setting is beautiful, the rooms are charming and one of a kind, and it's a first class experience all the way. What stands out, however, is that Lisa and Paul, who own the place, are nothing short of amazing hosts. They couldn't have been nicer, and... More

What can I say that hasn't already been said! I have a 2 & 3 yr old and I had forgotten what relaxed truly felt like until we stepped into the BBB Bush Retreat. We holiday at least 3-4 times a year as a family for at least 2-4 weeks at a time so I am lucky to be able... More

I fell in love with this place but it's the service that really stands out. We housed VIP's from the US and UK here for a conference, and were able to share in the ambiance and the wonderful service and food over a few nights. The rooms are wonderful - You can't go wrong whichever you choose. Comfy beds, rainshower... More

We stayed here for one night and just loved the experience. Lisa was so welcoming, we loved our Bush Retreat room where everything was so simple but so stylish and comfortable. We had lovely massages and then just relaxed and enjoyed the surroundings. The outdoor bath is such a great addition to the room and it's all so private but... More

We went away for the weekend to enjoy a little extravagance and recover from the heart break of miscarrying our first baby. It was amazing, so different to standard accommodation and we loved every minute of it. My partner proposed while we were relaxing in the bubbles in the outdoor bath, enjoying the sound of the sea and the trees... More

We stayed 2 nights and loved every minute of our stay, including a few visits from Roxy the blue heeler, who was very polite and didn't enter the room even though the door was open the whole time. The food was absolutely fabulous - delicious fresh and extremely generous serves. The pavlova was the best we'd ever had and we... More

We stayed at beach hideaway for two nights. Lisa and Paul made the best, healthiest food every morning. We were travelling with our two little kids. They loved it too. Places like this (romantic, totally private) do not allow kids in this area, but Lisa was kind enough to let them stay too. Attention to details in the hideaway was... More
