  This was just what we needed to spend some time away from it all.Beautiful setting of bushland, animals and close to an amazing beach. Lovely bushwalks easily accessable and just an amazing setting all round.The bath was the best part with bush views and wildlife to gaze at.

  My wife and I had such a great stay at the Eco Retreat. It is very beautiful setting, but also the thought put into every aspect of sustainability within the property is impressive. It is a truly sustainable place, and Mae certainly inspired us to start doing the same with our home in Melbourne. While we were there we saw kangaroos, a range of native birds, a blue tongue lizard and an echina...so clearly bursting with wildlife. And the views are amazing. Thanks so much.

  We spent the weekend staying at Mae's wonderful retreat in Venus Bay. The cottage is set up with everything you might need, including a bath with your own private view of the bush surrounding the property. Mae is incredibly knowledgeable about the native trees, plants and animals in the area and is only too happy to share her knowledge with you, including doing guided nature walks around her property which I highly recommend. We were lucky enough to be visited at the cottage by some of the local wildlife, including Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Kookaburras, a Wallaby and a Copperhead snake! Mae's commitment to having an ecologically sustainable retreat that she can share with others is commendable and I would highly recommend staying here. I just wish we could have stayed longer!

  Me and my partner had a wonderful relaxing time here for four days over the Christmas period, immersed in the Australian bush - Mae is doing an amazing job regenerating the land. Part camping (cooking outside - being close to nature), part luxury retreat (amazing bath, good quality extras, comfy bed, sumo bags!) With walking tracks, the beach, and cycle routes nearby you can be as active or as inactive as you like. The authentic sustainability ethos also strongly appealed. Highly recommended - we hope to return.

  What a blissful weekend! My partner and I enjoyed a perfect couple of nights at the Eco retreat at Venus retreat in November. The accommodation was beautifully equipped with everything you needed, nestled in amongst the trees with the wallabies and bird life... Walk to a secluded beach, have a luxurious bath with a view or relax in the sun in the hammock on the verandah. Couldn't rate it more highly. Can't wait to return!

  Bird watching galore, wombats everywhere. Great walks. High level if reforestation and love for the environment. Not only that, but I left a shirt there and it is in the post straight away. Loved it.

  The accommodation is a lovely cabin,with luxurious bathroom and super-comfy bed. The location is the best bit of this place, it's nestled right in natural bushland, so you are pretty much guaranteed spotting some wildlife, we saw Kangaroos, Echindas, wombats, and countless birds.The host is welcoming and friendly, and the shops/cafés of Venus bay are only 10 minutes down the road, the beaches are even nearer.It's a good base for visiting Wilsons Prom, which is definitely worth the trip.If you want to get back to nature, you couldn't do much better.

  My wife and I, plus our two little girls had a wonderful weekend away at Mae's place. The setting is tremendous........the Eco Retreat is in the middle of a beautiful Banksia woodland with a wetland on one side and the beach on the other. Mae is a great host and extremely knowledgeable about the properties plants and animals and the whole Venus Bay region which found out on her guided walks. So for a weekend getaway immersed in nature, beach and on the doorstep of many other food, wine and art opportunities this is the place to stay.

  My husband and I decided to come stay at Mae's beautiful retreat for our 5 year wedding anniversary.This was by far the best trip we've ever taken.The cabin was perfect. The animals we saw was amazing! Kangaroos with their precious Joey's, wallabies, blue tongue lizards, heaps of beautiful birds, even a tiger snake. Mae's knowledge of the native bushland, wetlands and animals were amazing. We were so educated on our walks.Her heart, passion and dedication keeps the bushland and animals alive.I could t believe how close we came to the animals. They felt safe as we were educated on how to act.Mae supplied us with a number of markets. We went to a couple and came back with the most delicious gippslamd produce. We will most definitely go back.I must say we've never slept as well as we did !!This is a retreat you must attend. Btw there is a cabin which has all the amenities you require. We stayed 4 nights. Perfect stay and would even go for a longer period next time.

  My friend and I had two nights at the Eco Retreat. Really had such a lovely time. Can highly recommend to everyone. Loved all the organic food and products. The big modern bath with a view was fab!!! We enjoyed the abundance of wildlife, and were delighted to see a gorgeous Koala next to the cottage on our last day. Very magical time with easy walks, great swimming beach, and great cafes nearby. Mae is to be admired for all the positive work she is doing. Very inspiring. Very relaxing. Very keen to go back!!! Loved our stay!!!
