House is very clean and bigger and nicer than we expected! It's perfect for a family getaway with enough bedrooms for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids (plus one extra bed available), 2 loungerooms and 2 bathrooms! The pool and table tennis table were a huge hit and gave us lots of relaxing time at the house!

Thank you for looking at Wendy's Retreat. I'm a retired music teacher and have lived in Mount Gambier for over 35yrs . I'm sure you will enjoy the private use of the property . It is like a home away from home. Enjoy the comfort and facilities, especially the pool, Gym and table tennis . I look forward to your stay.
The neighhood is known as Conroe Heights, It is a quiet friendly suburb, with walking paths and bike paths meandering around the area. Just around the corner is a childrens playground for families to enjoy. There is an IGA, hairdresser and laundromat two minutes drive from the house. A golf course is around the corner for golfing enthusiasts and the Umpherston sink hole with beautiful gardens just off the highway. A wonderful spot to take the family to feed the possums in the evening. The main centre of town with shopping is only a five minute drive from the property.
