The Retreat was perfect for our Christmas/New year family holiday. The layout with sleeping downstairs and entertaining upstairs was great with balconies on both levels. The upper level is open plan with plenty of very comfortable lounges, great modern kitchen and outdoor eating. We couldn't see the beach from our house (No. 18) with the upper level at tree height,... More

The location is ideal for a romantic getaway or a casual family gathering. We enjoyed the unique Stand alone units with bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs and kitchen & living room areas upstairs. The open air casual units are nice and comfortable. Laundry inside the unit was an extra bonus. Easy and fun walk to the beach from the property. Unit... More

We have just returned from a 10 day break at The Retreat and I want to say how awesome it was. Upon entering, you drive into this beautiful place, you are welcomed with the gardens and the bush wildlife and of course, the lovely Maria. We quickly went to our individual beach house and it had everything you could possibly... More

Recently stayed at The Retreat and found the beach house we stayed in to be a perfect getaway. Proximity to the beach was excellent and the natural surroundings were stunning - very private and very little noise from the highway. Our beach house was spacious, light and airy and extremely clean - nice touches throughout (fresh flowers, etc) and the... More

I had high hopes for The Retreat, and had reviewed some of the previous reviews which were mixed. On balance, I think it's pretty average and the website presents a more favourable view than I think in reality. The surroundings were lovely, and it does have good beach access. However, I agree with the other comment that the finish is... More

Thanks for your comments and review Grace G and I agree that Peregian Beach is lovely! I was very disappointed the accommodation did not meet your expectations and that the design of the house did not meet your family’s needs although many of our regular guests do have young families. They are furnished and decorated in a relaxed, beachy eclectic... More

but were very disappointed at the lack of cleanliness of our house and attention to detail. It was a pity that the two "north facing balconies" were so dirty that we couldn't use them until we complained and a half hearted attempt at "cleaning" the house was made. As owners of holiday rentals ourselves I would be horrified if our... More

Sue R - I was also very disappointed to read your review and the lack of details regarding shortcomings in housekeeping – I don’t think that at any time as manager that I showed “so little care” regarding your concerns about the leafy decks (yes the beach houses are nestled in a bush setting) and the dirty coffee mug. When... More

After reading the positive reviews on Tripadvisor, we decided to stay here on our first trip to Noosa. We were so glad we did because Noosa Heads is nice to visit but is crowded and everyone seems on show. Peregian Beach is a sleepy, slightly daggy, town, and we loved it there. Great coffee and places to eat (see my... More

Thanks for posting your review, I am really glad you enjoyed your stay although I am not sure that locals would agree with your description of Peregian Beach as “daggy”!! ... diverse, eclectic, shabby chic and stylish capture the vibe ;) I was disappointed that the beach house was not as sparkling as it should have been and have discussed...

We've just finished our stay here. Lovely spot, very private and convenient to all the tourist spots on the sunshine coast. The houses were far bigger than I expected with a very modern design. The deck overlooking the bush and the sea is stunning. We will come back! More
