Staying at Madison’s Mountain Retreat was the perfect getaway and experience for my family. We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed the atmosphere of the grounds. Anne’s warm welcome and knowledge about the animals was excellent and we all enjoyed feeding the Alpacas, Llamas & Goats. The indoor pool was great for a quick swim & we felt nice and cosy in the rustic cabin accommodation
which had a lovely view of the alpacas and farm. We will definitely be back.

The property was a good place to stay in but the manager could have been more polite and courteous. The hot water ran out while we were filling up the spa for the 1st time and there was no hot water for our showers thereafter. Thankgod it was summers!

Large Roomy cabin clean inside. Grounds are in need a good clean up there is a lot junk laying about the grounds. Charged an extra $15 to stay on the grounds because we were 55 minutes early, told to either pay up or return later. Needs to improve her PR

Alpaca and goat feeding was a hit with the family. It was a good experience for my son to collect eggs for breakfast. Nice and quiet night. We didn't even notice the other families that were staying there.
Excellent experience and stay. My son is already asking for a return visit!

We stay during the Ester holiday, the room is not so clean, bathroom light is not working, and no tissue paper, the mop was broken. However, had fun in the swimming pool and feeding the animals.

I saw the converted train carriage online and thought my kids would love it being huge train fans. Our getaway did not disappoint. The kids loved the train and the animals, as well as the swimming pool. My husband and i loved the area and thought the train was great and very spacious. Staff were very hospitable. We would definately visit again :)

Fabulous experience. Peaceful and tranquil, a great weekend break. Farm animals add to the experience with knowledgeable staff to enhance the stay.

The refurbished train carriage accommodation was a unique accommodation experience. Kids loved the London bus bunk bed. They also had a whale of a time feeding the alpacas and the goats. Great outdoor time and accommodation experience for city dwellers.

We love the peacefulness of this retreat. The verandah views are pretty and the cabins are well fitted out with comfy couches and wood fired burners. The brekky basket is generous too. All up this is a wonderful weekender which we will surely return to.

Madison's was in a beautiful remote location and provided plenty of free activities to keep both adults and children busy all day. We stayed the night in a spa cabin which was spacious and spotless upon arrival and the included breakfast hamper was delicious.
The only negative was the early checkout time of 10.30am. Not being early risers it felt a bit rushed in the morning which was a shame as it would have been nice to relax and enjoy the scenery a bit more before we left.

This was a family getaway to celebrate a special birthday. We had 5 cottages/train carriages so we had space, comfort and scenic views. There's a large games room with tv, DVDs, fireplace, large table, kitchen etc. coupled with the peaceful surroundings and alpaca feeding, it was a memorable weekend.

Fiona greeted us enthusiastically with our breakfast basket filled with goodies. She has also left us some delicious freshly baked cupcakes. Farm animals, quiet location, heated pool helped us to relax. The cabin was clean, spacious, and supplied with all we need for cooking a good meal & a good nights rest. The only thing was the insect net seals on the windows had gaps, so at night time all sorts of insects made their way in while we were cooking. But otherwise an excellent stay. Recommend for everyone.

Madison Mountain Retreat is exactly what it says. A retreat in the Mountains, away from pesky 'real world' interferences of internet, email, phone calls, texts etc.
Blissfully peaceful, rustic, but lovely cabins, lively alpacas, glorious birdsong, beautiful surrounds.
The staff are lovely and friendly, and will supply basic foodstuffs (bread, milk, cheese, bacon) on requests, as well as eggs daily from their free range hens.
This is a wonderful place to unwind and relax.
There's plenty to do locally as well.
Highly recommended.

Anyone who leaves a negative review on this hotel was either very unlucky to have chosen a stay on a rare off day or are just natural whingers. The trains were a huge hit with the kids while being very comfortable for the adults as well. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Feeding the alpacas and goats was a highlight. You cant go wrong with a stay here.
