We absolutely loved our three days at Deshon's Retreat (red cottage - pets welcome). The cottages are perfect - modern, meticulously clean and very homely - eco-friendly amenities, huge comfy bed with lots of pillows and crisp linen. The food was amazing - the cheese platter (lasted for the entire stay), evening dinner and the breakfast hamper all made up of exquisite homemade and local produce. Sitting in front of the woodheater indulging in wine & cheese looking out over the Booie Range was very satisfying. As the retreat is pet friendly our kelpie accompanied us and stayed in the fenced dog kennel provided while we visited the surrounding boutique wineries. Wonderful hosts Frank & Jayne encouraged us to walk the extensive tracks throughout the property - breathtaking from the summit. We were also lucky enough to meet the resident eight week old labrador puppies - all 8 of them.
