12/2022We absolutely loved our stay. The house was huge - perfect for a large family. 2 separate Lounge rooms was a bonus and 3 toilets /showers was perfect. 4 bedrooms were spacious and the balcony was perfect. Thanks so much for hosting us. We’ll definitely book again 😁

10/2024Just stayed at Richardson’s Retreat for a girls’ weekend, and it was absolutely perfect! The views were breathtaking, with beautiful ocean scenes from almost every angle of the house. The rooms were spacious and comfortably accommodated all seven of us, giving everyone room to relax and unwind. The living areas were great for hanging out as a group, with plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was fantastic, too – fully stocked with all the essentials, making it easy to prepare meals together. Every detail in this home is well thought out, which made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend Richardson’s Retreat for any group getaway!

12/2024Me and 7 others stayed here for 6 nights, the beds were comfortable and the house was clean. There is two living areas, both having a nice cozy feel to it. The top floor balcony had a nice view and could stargaze at night. 3 bathrooms suited us well and there was no issues with them. Overall a nice place and the owners responded quickly and even gave us an earlier check in.

09/2025Really loved our stay! The perfect holiday home. We cooked a little while we were there and found that the house came with everything we needed. We also loved having a second living area downstairs. We would love to come and stay again. The location is perfect - it is only a short walk to the beach and the main strip of Lorne.

10/2025The accommodation was so beautiful. It was spacious enough for many families to spend, and there were various tableware and children's toys. It was also great to spend time lighting the fireplace. Above all, it was easy to find because the house lights were turned on in advance even with a late check-in, and it was so nice that you responded immediately even when I contacted you because of the Keylock password.
