Perricoota Vines Retreat

We have been visiting Perricoota Vines for well over ten years, as a couple, and also on yearly family Summer holidays. This is the first time we ever cut our trip short, because we were so disappointed. Yes, the grounds are still beautiful. The cleaners do a brilliant job of leaving the rooms immaculate. But other than that no maintenance has gone into this resort for a very long time. The pool is in a bad state- concrete tiles are lifting up and lying around. At one point we witnessed kids picking them up and throwing them around as sinker toys. I suggested to management that they be removed from the area as they were dangerous, but this never happened. On day two of our trip my husband was sitting in a pool chair and it completely broke under him. He ended up badly bruised, bloody, and scratched up. I called management to tell them what had happened and they gave me bandaids and Betadine, then sent me on my way. At no point did they check on my husband. The spa in our room was temperamental. The button for the jets often got stuck and the jets would be stuck on. A cockroach was in the bathroom. And the worst of the worst was the lack of internet. You should not have to sit in your bathroom to check your emails or do your banking. Thank god our son doesn’t rely on the internet for entertainment, because he would have been bitterly disappointed. In the past we have been made to feel like valued guests at Perricoota resort. But now it feels like Management just want our money. They are never in the office, and you need to call their mobile if you have an issue, which leaves you feeling like you are disturbing them. We won’t be staying here again, which is very very sad after ten years of memories.

Could not have found better accommodation to celebrate a special occasion with the extended family! Space, activities, attention to detail - the tennis court, pool, pool table, table tennis & firepit all got a solid workout to keep a mixed group ages 14 to 70-something well entertained, while also having plenty of places to relax together throughout the lovely grounds. Many thanks!

This is my 4th year back at PVR we get the room on the lake. It is so quiet and relaxing , Mindy/Pete can’t do enough for you. We both have stressful jobs and to spend a week and abit up at PVR is the best. We do t do touristy things we go up there to wind down read/swim/walk

We stayed in a 2 bed garden spa villa with our dogs and it was very spacious with lovely high ceilings and early morning sun. Whilst not modern or new it was still very nice. We really enjoyed the villa, couldn't believe how big it was, with enclosed courtyard, sunroom with a spa, full kitchen with coffee machine and complimentary wine from the local estate. The beds and pillows were very comfy. The grounds had beautiful gardens, tropical feel with lots of decking overlooking the lake, 2 pools, games room, tennis court. Not much else you could ask for. We will be back with the kids next time.

We were really happy with the villa we stayed in. It was clean and very open plan. Loved all the timber inside. We stayed for two nights and had our two furbabys with us. They loved it too. It was very nice to relax in the spa with the complimentary bottle of wine. Peter and Mindi were lovely. Only drawback was the bull ants in the courtyard but given the rustic garden surroundings , it was not a big problem. We will definately be back again. Thank you

What a wonderful experience, unfortunately we could only stay two nights but the setting is superb. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well appointed and the balcony overlooking the lake was ideal for that quiet relaxing glass of wine after a day of exploration. We heartily recommend Peericoota Vines for anyone seeking a relaxing and comfortable break. Will definitely be back.
