The host Sarah was more than accommodating. We stayed in a lovely cabin with views of the surrounds, kangaroos grazing as the sun started to leave us. Everything in the way of breakfast was provided for us to help ourselves. Main kitchen well stocked and there was also a huge spa. It was lovely and relaxing and exceptionally quiet just as we liked after a long drive. Thank you very much Sarah, the cabin was cozy and comfortable and just what we were looking for. Recommend a stay out here for sure, especially take a few friends and enjoy some time around the fire pit of an evening and relax

A nice quiet little place that is suitable for a short time stay. We used the spa, was very clean and quite spacious. Room was small but nice and the breakfast provided is in the shared kitchen common area, toast, cereal, etc. In terms of value for money, its a nice place to stay.

It's in a very nice rural landscape with a view onto a pasture with Kangaroos and birds. Close to Axedale, Heathcote, and Bendigo. Been there twice and have enjoyed it each time. We found the staff and owners very accomodating. I highly recommend Aligning Health as a fantastic place to escape Melbourne's bustle.

The property was clean and peaceful. The surrounds were calming and it was lovely seeing the ducks waddle and kangaroos in the distance. Loved the open space of the dining room and the extensive books on offer to read. Our room was clean and cosy. Breakfast was provided.

Liked: Staff & service
I arrived late about 6.25pm, and had been told my room was number 1 off the kitchen/lounge area, and to make myself at home. I went out to a meeting and got back about 9.30pm. My room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was continental and serve yourself. This was disappointing - I had breakfast of toast and honey which was all I could find. I do not eat wheeties! I left the property at 9.45am, and did not see or speak with anyone at all. I would not go back again.

Room was clean & had most of what i needed, except milk in the fridge for my morning & night coffee. Area around the shed accomodation could be improved/weeded....& if you know your having a visitor into one of the stand alone metal accomodation rooms, you could at least sweep off all the cob webs from around the entrance door.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The area was beautiful and the owners were lovely, but the bugs were horrid. Definitely need a spot light out the front to deter bugs from the door as we had thousands of bugs on the door, entering when opened of an evening.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Arrived at night: very hard to find numbers on cabins. LOADS of trip-hazards outside, path edgings made of protruding bricks, random posts. Inside clean and functional. Daylight revealed the place to be akin to FI-FO mine-camp cabins, not a Health Retreat. Breakfast items provided but no milk at all, so what to do but check out.

Good value for the price, but not flash
As this is budget accommodation what you get for the price is reasonable, we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there again, but don't expect anything flash based on the "Retreat & Day Spa" name. We stayed in a room that was attached to the common lounge and kitchen. This wasn't something we were expecting as the room description didn't mention it. It has its pros and cons. Pro is you are close to kitchen for coffee and any cooking you want to do. Con is that others use the lounge area which is right outside your door, and they can be very noisy. The location was great, halfway between Heathcote and Bendigo. Some small things that could be improved 1. the kitchen tea towels were not absorbant and were not changed for the 3 days we were there 2. the kitchen fridge has the door on backward for the space, switching this to open the other way would make a HUGE difference it the ability to use it 3. brecky options were very basic. Bread for toast, butter and small amount of strawberry jam. no other spreads available. Strawberry jam ran out and was never replaced. 2 cereal options which were very basic. 4. spa tub was basically not useable. The water was too low (at least 10 cm below the minimum mark), and the temperature was too cold. I am guessing it was set at 39-40 degrees, whereas most spa's start at 42-44 degrees. 5. rooms only came with 1 towel each and we had to ask for more towels to use with the spa. Rooms should come with 2 each to cater for this without asking.
