Cottage cosy with character. Features such as comfortable king bed, spa bath and cast iron fire were much appreciated. Extras such as bathrobes, champagne and chocolate, and food/dining vouchers added to the experience.

Mark Australia

Loved the layout, wood fire, spa bath, super comfy bed and natural surrounds

Hutchinson Australia

Nice quiet location, convenient to town and attractions.

Andrew Australia

My husband and I spent a relaxing weekend away at Heavenly Retreat Halls Gap. The cabin is clean and inviting with everything you need, even champagne and chocolates waiting for us in the fridge. We especially loved the inside fire place, it kept the cabin cosy and warm. The spa is big enough for 2 people and overlooks the trees, such a relaxing way to end the day. The cabin is surrounded by beautiful Australian bush and native birds, and is walking distance to town, with so many nice cafes, restaurants and pubs. I highly recommend Heavenly Retreat for a weekend away.

Carolin Australia

Location was great, halls gap is beautiful and heavenly retreat was a beautiful place to stay. Good restaurant (fire brothers was a must) Amazing sightseeing of nature

Tymica Australia

It was so charming and cosy. Very clean, very well kept. The amenities were perfect, everything you could need. The spa was a delight.

Victoria Australia

Very comfortable & had everything we needed, loved building a fire each night which kept the place very toasty and there's heating as well plus electric blanket if needed. Very tranquil spot and had cockatoos coming to visit on the balcony, the bed was super comfortable and massive. Nice, thoughtful touches like a coffee plunger and ground coffee, champagne and chocolate were appreciated. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Peter Australia

Everything about the accommodation was fantastic. I would be happy to stay here again.

Daniel Australia

Amazing location, close enough to walk to restaurants but still felt extremely secluded and intimate.

Joanna Australia

This was a fantastic stay! The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect- just a short stroll into Halls Gap CBD!! The host was easy to contact and set everything up very clearly. The bonus was enjoying a spa after days of hiking in the Grampians! Definitely recommend.

  • My partner and I are in our 60’s. We are celebrating our 20th anniversary. Your accomodation looks perfect. However we have a small dog. She is a 7kg Chinese Crested Powder Puff. She does not lose fur. We see that u are pet friendly. Do u have a fenced off area around the property?
    Sorry for my late response. Yes we do sometimes have pets stay unfortunately we don’t have a fence around our property. We do charge a small pet stay fee and pls note pets are not allowed access into the Grampians National Park. Regards Louise

What to expect on arrival....Champagne, chocolate, deluxe spa, guest products, FREE WI-FI & more! Escape to the beautiful Grampians National Park and immerse yourself in the private and luxurious Halls Gap accommodation of Heavenly Retreat. Unwind in the tranquil setting of majestic cliffs and native bushland and pamper yourself in our couples-only accommodation. Let life's stresses dissolve away as you immerse yourself in the deluxe double spa. Enjoy our luxurious king bed with freshly ironed linen, log fire, complimentary guest bath robes, quality linen and towels, guest coffee/bakery voucher, champagne and chocolate. Peaceful. Private. Perfection. Heavenly Retreat is the perfect getaway for two!
Just a quick note for the overseas guest Ross is able speak some French & Spanish he also has a good knowledge of Mandarin and German. After growing up on a farm in South Australia near Robe. I now realise what an amazing part of the world this is. I miss the beaches, wineries, fresh air and friendly locals. Nowadays I live in Richmond in Melbourne that's how we decided to purchase a house in Halls Gap as its half way between where I live now and where I grew up so we pass through often! We started renting out properties over 15 years ago and Ross and I are now lucky enough have two properties in Halls Gap (The Grampians in regional Victoria) Heavenly Retreat & The Escarpment / Halls Gap. Also 2 others in Richmond (TWO FIVE ZERO & Bellevue on the Park / Richmond). We hope will come and stay with us soon!
Take a walk in the winter wonderland of the Grampians, when the scenery is lush, the local wildlife is lively, and the fireplaces in historic wineries are welcoming. Outdoor adventurers can get the adrenaline pumping in rugged surrounds, food and wine buffs can warm up in cellar doors and restaurants with breathtaking views, and art aficionados can swap the elements for inspiring gallery spaces. There's something for everyone in the Grampians.
