The property was clean and the Host was wonderful. It’s pet friendly but you need to keep your dogs on lead as the wildlife is close by. We had an enclosure with us to put around the patio. Would have loved to have a toaster for toast.

Bushland Retreat is off the beaten track and is wonderful for total peace, quiet and relaxation. There are so many birds and it is a refreshing change to see so many stars at night The property is located not very far out of Portland.Some items in the property were a little outdated. The host was very helpful and her directions excellent.If you want to get away from it all and don't mind no internet, this is the place to be.

Bushland Retreat is just that..the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace while the weather was cooler... then as the weather warmed up we were able to swim at the beautiful Cape Brigewater beach.

Location was great, but the house needs an update. Lots of unnecessary clutter.
