Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Retallack Resort By Away Resorts from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Retallack Resort is known for its spacious lodges, with some accommodating two families comfortably and others, like the exclusive barns (e. g. , 32 The Meadows), sleeping up to 12 guests and featuring large decking areas with hot tubs. The park itself is considered very pet-friendly, extending to the restaurant. While generally well-maintained, some guests have occasionally found the furnishings a bit tired or the outdoor decking lacking secure fencing. Guests appreciate the convenient on-site restaurant and the short drive to beautiful beaches and towns.

Satisfactory Lodge Stay

spacious lodge stocked shop on-site restaurant hot water missing instructions broken doors

I stayed in a spacious lodge. It had a well-stocked shop, that I found very useful. The restaurant on site was convenient.

There was no hot water one morning. Instructions for the washing machine was absent. Doors to the shed outside was broken so they blew open.

Acceptable Stay, Several Issues Observed

dirty windows slow wifi

The lodge was spacious and offered enough room.

The windows were notably dirty, which affected the overall impression. The decking looked worn and could benefit from maintenance. The slow WiFi made television viewing difficult.
