All aspects of my experience at Stirling Range Retreat were excellent. Third time I’ve been in three years. Great value and an exceptional customer experience. All staff couldn’t have been more friendly and considerate.

A fantastic place to switch off and get away from it all. Very friendly welcome and lovely staff. We used it as the base to stay before climbing Bluff Knoll and stayed in the rammed earth cabins. They are rustic and simple, they have a fridge, gas hotplates and microwave, everything you need. Showers are hot and beds are comfy. No consistent mobile data (even Telstra is patchy). Drinking water is rain water that is treated on-site, so if you are not a fan of a slight chlorine taste, then take some water with you.

Outstanding rammed earth cabins. Glorious views of mountains and nature from the windows. Ideal base to climb the Stirling Range mountains. I also travelled to the Porongurups during my stay. Walk trails around the site were a welcome bonus on rest days. I saw an echinda during one of my walks.

Very friendly reception, beautiful scenery, comfortable cabins (or camping if you prefer) and scorching hot showers. And a forest full full full of birds - flocks of hundreds of Purple-crowned Lorikeets shoot through the canopy. What a delightful place to stay !

Perfectly located, well kept, amazing facilities for the cash. I love that they have a compost bin and cash for containers. If they had a soft plastics bin I’d give them 6 stars. Amazing bird life too! Apparently I need to use 200 characters to review……:)

This place was very well kept and maintained- the pool was a welcome delight after a day spent up a mountain. Very basic kitchen - a cook top and bbq burner. Please note you will have to bring your own utensils/ cutlery/ pans/ plates as there’s none available. Fridge available. Laundry facilities available however dryer is unserviceable. The dry earth unpowered campsites are located on rocky terrain which makes driving pegs down near impossible to do. PLEASE NOTE that everyone who climbs Bluff knoll for sunrise WILL wake you as they pack their tents up at 2am which is extremely frustrating. We stayed 3 nights and were woken each night same time to noisy campers packing up and driving out. Just be smarter than us maybe and camp closer to the outskirts of the site.

Got a complementary upgrade to a 2 bedroom chalet. Clean ensuite with hot water on demand, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, with all linen and bedding provided. Fully equipped kitchen with an electric stove and microwave, and the staff light a campfire in the evenings. Keep in mind that this is a remote location: BYO drinking water or use the rainwater tank. No TV.

Beautiful Bushland setting, however, very disappointed with the rammed earth chalets. Very old and tired so overpriced at $145 for the night. The microwave was manufactured in 1993, kitchen area not up to standard neither were the other furnishings.
