Romantic Getaways & Riverview Rise Retreats

We headed up to Riverview Rise Retreat for our first wedding anniversary really looking forward to a great romantic getaway.
Most places claim luxury accommodation, however they don't seem to care about your stay once you have paid them the money! This place however is just amazing!! I would call it beyond luxury!! It is a great combination of luxury with the laid-back Australian atmosphere!! Wink and Michael are to be congratulated on their retreat! We arrived Saturday night to a gourmet arrival platter, red wine, champagne, edible hibiscus flowers and a huge amount of chocolate!! The retreats are sheer luxury and are set up so well for a couple wanting to have that romantic getaway!! The next day we were indulged with a luxurious massage for two! And that evening we were provided a gourmet BBQ platter which we enjoyed on our deck whilst playing darts!! Our third night there we enjoyed an in-house dining experience with the most talented chef! Meredith prepared a 4 course meal of gastronomic delights!! You don't need to take any food up with you if you are going for one of their packages! We took a couple of crayfish which we ended up giving to the chooks because we couldn't fit them in with all the food they provided!! Wink took time out of her day to take us around the property and show us the wildlife she has saved. I had the most amazing cuddle with her kangaroo, "Blue" who is such a sook! And obviously loves his Mum (Wink) very much!! She showed us her emus, the joeys she is rearing and even her turkey...(no we weren't tempted even if it was before Christmas). I would recommend this retreat to anybody!! And I am already working on my parents for their anniversary in January this year!! Thank you Wink and Michael for an amazing first anniversary!!
