We stayed for 3 nights over here and we wished we could have stayed longer.
The house is really private and each morning and evening (dusk and dawn) there were a lot of kangaroos, rabbits and deer in front of our house, we loved this. 
The retreat itself is really nice. It is spacious, clean and has all the amenities you need (washing machine, dryer, dishwasher etc.)
The terrace in front of the house is great and we loved sitting here watching the wildlife.

If you want to visit or dine in Halls gap you need a car, it isn't doable by foot, but this didn't bother us.
We also got an complimentary wine, which was really appreciated.

I you visit the grampians (and you should because this is one of the gems of southern australia) we recommend to stay over here you won't regret it.

Fabulous

This place is exceptional. Beautiful large villas extremely well set out & great facilities;  wood fire, king sized bed, bath in the lounge, kitchenette, BBQ, amazing views with an abundance of wildlife, echidna on arrival, kangaroos, emus, deer & so many beautiful birds. It’s a great place to wind down & relax. Absolute pleasure to stay here!

Wildlife, views & extreme comfort

Stunning scenery, peaceful, clean & the little extras made our stay memorable & very relaxing.

Just returned from a fabulous 3 night stay at Blaze Rock Retreat. Very secluded and quiet and just what we were after in a city getaway. Ample wood provided to keep the wood burner going to keep us warm during the cold days and nights in winter. Also a split system air conditioner for those not keen on fires or for cooling in the summer. It's an easy drive into Halls Gap for supplies, morning coffee's and to enjoy the lovely walks and sight seeing nearby. We enjoyed sunny afternoon sunsets on the side deck while watching kangaroos and wild emus graving in the paddock, then spectacular star gazing at night. The unit has everything you need for a self contained stay. We cooked 2 evenings and enjoyed a very tasty Indian take away from Halls Gap the other. Limited phone coverage and no wifi was a nice change to disconnect, but still enough coverage to get the odd message or email out if you so wished. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice romantic weekend getaway. We'd certainly return and recommend to friends and family. Leanne the host was very easy to deal with and let us extend our stay with a days notice. Several wineries and other farm shops nearby which made for nice stop offs. We thoroughly enjoyed the drive back to Melbourne via Dunkeld and the Victoria Valley road detour - would highly recommend this if you have time and looking for a secluded country drive where you literally won't see another car for miles! We didn't use the TV/DVD player but there was a range of DVDs to watch. We brought our own speaker with pre-downloaded Spotify music but there was an older style CD player there that you could play your CDs on if you still own a CD! We had a great stay, so relaxing!

Wonderful stay

Great retreat in a stunning location, with kangaroos and emus at your doorstep. No wifi and limited mobile reception was great as you can really disconnect. Minor downsides were the TV being hard to work but overall I highly recommend Blaze Rock.

We had four winter nights in this really lovely spot. Yes, its out of Halls Gap but the privacy and quietness is delicious. The interesting buildings are so well designed and cosy, with everything needed for a self catered experience. The claw foot bath was a joy, and the kitchen worked well. It's chilly in winter but the wood fire and heating was great. Wifi was a walk to the front gate, but that walk included the owners beautiful bush garden, with a huge variety of natives, so wasn't a burden at all. A bottle of red on arrival, and lovely decor touches made this a really special stay. And there were plenty of flowers in the bush too! Great walks a plenty.

glorious views and a luxury feel

Amazing... Amazing view. Its really quiet place.  The kangaroo, deers roaming around during the day are so lovely to look at. Then we have the stars at night. It takes your breath away.

We had a wonderful two days stay at this little paradise in nature. Watching a colony of kangaroos in the morning and the evening and enjoying the landscape in the bathtub after a good hiking tour. The hosts ver very friendly when a question occurred. Thank you so much!

Great Escape

It was secluded, which is what I wanted.  The knives needed replacing, and the pillows were lumpy.  The shower was excellent. The wildlife was beautiful - deers, emus, kangas and birds. I did not think it was worth the price though, especially as I was there during non peak season. There was no much shade around, which I understand due to potential bush fire threat, but some shade around the accommodation would be good.  Also, I wanted to be close to the walking tracks near the Grampians, it was not a 1 min walk to the tracks as advertised online.  It was a 10+min drive into Halls Gap to get to the tracks.

With only 2 villas on the property, this retreat is for couples only. Very private and tranquil with deer, kangaroos, emus, rabbits, blue wrens and rosellas in abundance grazing the property. So beautiful to sit up in bed watching the wildlife. A clawfoot bath is central to the room and relaxing in the bath with the views was just idyllic. There is no phone reception on the property so was lovely to be out of touch for the few days we were there. Very well set up villa, clean and very spacious. The complimentary local wine went down well and was an added bonus. Only 7kms from Halls Gap, it was absolutely beautiful and all we wanted in a romantic weekend getaway.
