Mountain View Retreat - Harrietville

I wasn't aware it is a school camp. Rooms are small but if you are only sleeping in their that's fine. There is a general shared kitchen/lounge area. Rooms are clean, lounge suits require a good clean though. Rooms: 2 Service: 5 Location: 4

I would have not written this review but I believe others should be aware before booking this place. We booked 3 nights for the Easter holiday but the hotel cancelled our booking because they have a large group booking coming in on the same date and will be unable to honour your booking . Not sure how another group appeared to be more entitled despite of later booking, but we felt left out and very disappointed. We were suggested to try another motel which was completely booked out. Although the cancellation happened around 2.5 months before the booking dates, as Easter is a high season we struggled to make the new booking in the area, ended up having 2 nights instead of 3.

Easiest check-in ever, felt at home as soon as we walked in. Amazing coffee and home-made sausage rolls in the van out the front, as well as ham cheese croissants and hand-made masks raising money for defibrillator batteries. Back to the room, it was beautiful and cosy, we very much enjoyed our stay in Harrietville. The heater already on when we checked-in was the icing on the cake.

Great owners of the retreat!! Super friendly and hopeful us my group and I, knew lots about the area and the mt Hotham. The place we stayed at was very clean, always stocked up with breakfast items, soft beds and heated rooms during the cold nights we were there. They went out of there way for us and would highly recommend this place. Will be staying again when we come back! Rooms: 5

Good value and great location! Was the best offer we could find for 3 persons for 2 nights of stay. Very welcoming and tips were handy. The place and sheets/towels were clean and well equipped. Only wish they had a place where we can cook (they do have a BBQ) and a more balanced breakfast (was mostly cereal options and toast).
