Featuring garden views, Whitsundays BNB Retreat offers accommodation with patio, around 2.8 km from Boathaven Beach. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay. The bed and breakfast provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is beautiful and well maintained. It truly felt like a retreat space. The communal kitchen was clean and well stocked. We booked the budget room, which was a little bit on the smaller side but was well worth it for the price. Leonie and Salt were wonderful hosts, and we enjoyed getting to know them both. We would definitely recommended this place to others and stay here again!!
