Orchid beach retreat holiday stay
Property was not what was advertised very disappointing. 3rd bedroom was an open area and walk way to the other to bedrooms and bathroom so no privacy . Cleaning was poor , mattress in the 3 rd bedroom was very uncomfortable. No hot water pressure for showers . The sight was very hard to find with no clear directions and could not contact the owner . I would not book this location again

Nice house Orchid Beach
Great house, very comfortable. Lotsa crockery, cutlery etc but no toaster ? Friendly welcome from caretaker and wife. Had a weird experience on the last night when a shower screen exploded into pieces around 11:30. Guys next door came running thinking a tree had fallen on the house! Caretaker came over next morning and we got all the glass out. If it was me I’d just install a shower curtain. Overall very fun stay in clean well equipped house. No power points in bathroom. We will return

Great place to stay for a large family or group of friends, nice to have two bathrooms (can be rare at Orchid Beach) and will let you stay for just a couple of nights, not a minimum week like so many other places.

Property and caretaker were excellent
Property was nothing fancy, but that’s exactly what we wanted. Heaps of indoor and outdoor space, great fire area, and clean. Caretaker was really nice and helped us out with some things we needed but otherwise was nowhere to be seen (yet always available just next door). A fantastic bloke :)

Perfect location
Orchid Beach Retreat was the perfect choice for our group. Plenty of space for all of us. We had everything we needed in regards to power, and having a chest freezer to store our food for 6 days was a great bonus. The breezeway is brilliant, kept us cool on the hot days. Will absolutely book here again.
