The experience started when the owner (Mel) contacted me to confirm my reservation and took care of all the needs we had from restaurant reservations to helicopter tours. We simply showed up 4 days later and everything was taken care of. The retreat is gorgeous and provided us with the privacy we were looking for, yet had all the amenities... More

My wife and myself stayed at Somewhere Unique for 3 days and I have to stay we had an unbelievable time. The cottage, food, atmosphere and location was truly unequalled. The whole experience for couples has been so well thought out, this is what it sets it apart. Thanks Melanie for a blissfully stay Thanks Peter & Rhonda

We recently stayed at 'Somewhere Unique' for two nights midweek to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. It was absolutely wonderful. The accommodation was nothing short of superb as was the help of Melanie and Grant who have thought of EVERYTHING when creating this OASIS! We will definitely be back!

We were lucky enough to spend 2 nights in this wonderful accommodation. It was everything we could want - peaceful and serene plus everything on hand to make it a great escape. Lovely gas log fire for those cool nights and an exceptionally large bathroom with a lovely tub. We would always love to come back here.

From the moment we booked and received our confirmation email from Melanie, my husband and I knew that Somewhere Unique would be the perfect place to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. The detailed comfirmation email regarding our "romance package" was impressive. The attention to detail in the retreat was amazing and welcoming, from the jazz music playing when we... More

Somewhere Unique is both a tranquil and peaceful getaway spot, it is also very indulgant and romantic. The accomodation is nothing short of brilliant. The location and view were remote, and peacefully tranquil, and the view from any where in the accomodation was breath taking and humbling. It reminded me why the Australia countryside is constantly referred to as "Gods... More

Spent two wonderful nights at this little treasure of a retreat. Beautifully appointed inside & out, with so many wonderful touches that made our 25th wedding anniversary celebration very special. My favourite part was waking up each morning and watching the honeyeaters on the grevilleas outside the bedroom window. Anyone looking for a peaceful place to celebrate a special occasion... More

We told our adult children we were going camping in the Hunter Valley...this is our idea of going bush and what a luxurious tent. We have stayed in some pretty nice places, but this one wins. The architectural design of the retreat we stayed in (Allawah) was brilliant, excellent use of space and views from pretty much everywhere. We had... More

From the moment we stepped into the retreat, I knew this had been the right decision. Within the first 10 seconds my wife had decided that our 2 night stay was already too short. The ambiance and attention to detail really is incredible. Candles, soft music, chilled wine and food hamper there was hardly a need to venture any further... More

This was the perfect escape especially as we had discovered our house had been burgled just before leaving for this weekend away. Although our arrival was later than expected, the moment we walked through the door we could see this was the perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life and the events of the day....
