Great location

Good property to stay at for visiting the gourmet region. Accommodation comfortable and roomy. Unfortunately we run out of gas when preparing the meal on the first night and there was no spanner to change over the bottles. The agent responded quickly and came around promptly to rectify the problem. Other than that we had a good relaxing stay.

Better than expected

We were so excited to stay in this old church. It looked great in the pictures but was even better than we anticipated. Cosy, comfortable and quiet. Thank you, will definitely be back again.

Stunning property, quiet, clean, everything we needed

We would definately recommend The Church Retreat Whorouly. The property is a tranquil setting, a beautifully renovated church and gardens and stunning views from the rear deck to the surrounding countryside. Loved the high ceilings, big bath and the timber floors With the sports oval up the road it was perfect for the teenage kids too. A good distance to drive to Myrtleford and Beechworth. We are looking forward to returning again soon

Vey dissapointing

No care or consideration for the comfort of the guest. EVERYTHING in the premises was supplied to the absolute minimum quantity and standard possible. The cheapest item was evident in every aspect, the market will decide if you can get away with it but i would never recommend or return

UNIQUE PROPERTY

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is beautiful and creatively converted. We had a memorable stay after we bought basic supplies and did some cleaning.Here are some suggestions to enhance the experience:1) define what is included in the starter pack, your offering is below standard2) provide a spare bin liner3) a washing up sponge was provided, do provide dish washing liquid to go with it4) do not restrict dish washing tablets to 4 for a 5 night stay5) add a bin to the bathroom not just the separate toilet6) clean the fridge better there should not be traces of food remnants7) clean the ice tray, it had brown marks, fill it with water8) clean the kitchen drawers, the cutlery trays are stained, we felt compelled to wash all cutlery, dishes, mugs before using them9) large cobwebs by the dining bench and under the small table in the smaller sitting area10) netted door to deck does not shut properly and has holes in it11) the quality of the pillows was basicThe communications were all in writing and very matter of fact. I suggest you consider making it a bit more welcoming in addition to the cut and dry instructions, guests are paying customers expecting hospitality.We travel worldwide extensively are have stayed in many properties. We would rate the location, architecture, location and furnishings highly. Please heed my well intended suggestions, it will improve your guests experience tremendously.

Peace in the Valley.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 595 Whorouly Road Whorouly. The Church Retreat.Yes - it was a Church - once - but now converted. In a lovely rustic/rural spot in Whorouly near the pub and general store - opposite the footie field. The Church has been renovated quite well. Still some creaks but that just added to the atmosphere/charm.Perfect for walks any time of the day. Two good bedrooms and a good bathroom - with bath. It has a reverse cycle heater in the main area and two convection heaters - as well as a nice little wood burner in the main sitting area - no wood supplied so maybe bring some if you can. We walked about and collected some local wood which worked very well. It is Tank water so don't expect a waterfall in the shower. If you intend bringing kids, I'd also suggest bringing a small heater for the second bedroom - just to take the edge off at night. We found the main bedroom OK. Winter is cold in this area - down to zero or below some days. We found the heaters did the job though - aided by the wood burner for a few hours at night. Bring good PJs and sox for sitting around the fire at night. Maybe some fire starters too ... :}Good undercover parking - well lit if needed - lovely grounds overlooking some picturesque farm land with local cows which come and say hello. A lovely back deck. Excellent kitchen - big fridge, stove, hotplates and microwave. Dishwasher etc etc. All the usual pots and pans - plates etc.We took our little Mio Modo Lavazza coffee machine, and pods, too, which helped. She shop is basic but has the essentials - including the paper. Pub is quirky but enjoyable - lovely people - warm and welcoming.Excellent WIFI and a great little spot to set it up in the old entry area of the Church. The pub is great - excellent menu - ribs, fish (awesome), Parma's - great on Parma Wednesday. Lovely spot to eat on their verandah.But - its the position that counts. Its sort of situated between Beechworth / Milawa / Myrtleford

Fantastic views

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’d always wanted to stay in a converted church and The Church Retreat Whorouly ticked the box.Beautiful garden welcomes you and the accomodation was just like the photos. The back deck was lovely to sit, relax and watch the sunrise and reflections at sunset.Tastefully decorated, comfy beds and good heating for comfort.We received an email stating that there would be basics to start with. We had booked for 4 nights and would have expected enough basics to get through but there wasn’t. At a minimum there should have been enough toilet paper, dishwashing liquid, firestarters, soap, shampoo and conditioner.There was no laundry liquid which although we didn’t need I think should be there. Spray and wipe, extra kitchen sponges and teatowels (only 1 ) would be a plus!The dishwasher didn’t work and neither did the back deck outside lights which was a shame. Wifi stopped working after second day.I contacted the agent and he was very apologetic, I hope it’s fixed for the next people.Place was clean but there were dead insects and spiders in multiple kitchen and bathroom drawers and cupboards and no product to fix this. There was $165 cleaning fee and I would have expected it to be spotless.At close to $500 a night I would have expected better.We travel regularly and usually Air BnB and have always found them well appointed with what I have mention + more.I’d think twice about stayz again.
