Canyonleigh Retreat

What a great find in the Southern Highlands with fabulous welcoming service. Unfortunately, my husband and I could only stay one night (which is difficult to do over weekends), but this place was perfect and made the weekend special. Peaceful outlook and not overly crowded like the big resorts. We would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Canyonleigh Retreat in a family room with three girlfriends, and it was just perfect! The room was beautifully presented with lovely decor, comfortable beds, and high-quality linen that made for a restful sleep. Kush, Issy, and the rest of the team were fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, making us feel right at home. The setting is tranquil and peaceful, a perfect escape to enjoy nothing but the sounds of nature. We loved exploring the beautiful woodland walk on the property and were lucky enough to catch a fabulous sunset—just breathtaking. All our meals were from Audrey’s Café onsite, and they were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed breakfast there both mornings, and evening treats delivered to our room added a lovely touch to our stay. We booked direct and were rewarded with a lovely bottle of wine on arrival, which made us feel instantly welcomed. The location is ideal—peacefully tucked away, yet close enough to explore the abundance of wineries and quaint historic towns just a short drive away. We had a fantastic time and couldn’t recommend Canyonleigh Retreat highly enough. We’ll definitely be returning!

It’s a definitely perfect retreat and super relax experience! Here you can do everything you want to fulfill yourself. ROOMS: very spacious, cozy and stylish. The room is divided into two zones: bed block and entrance with a sofa and a coffee table. Every room is equipped with a big fridge, teapot, coffee beans. There is also a chimney in the room for your hygge stay:) Big bathroom with a shower. Near the room there is a relax zone with chairs and tables - here you can have away break or just chill. LOCATION: directly under the stars! If it’s not cloudy you can see stars and some planets from the terrace. FOOD: the restaurant works until 3pm, we’ve had an awesome breakfast there. Menu isn’t big, but you’ll find something for you. They also can prepare anything you want. Portions are big and all meals were very tasty! There are a local plantation - so, all vegetables and berries are natural and organic. FACILITIES: good wi-fi, barbecue zone (gas), many open zones where you can chill or make a fire (if you want, the stuff for that is provided), small shop with local products, soft beverages and wines, some desserts. There hotel located next to the forest - so, you can take a 7km round walk through it or also there is an opportunity to rent a horse for it. STAFF: very very hospitable and friendly, here you feel like at home! You’ll 100% would like to come back there!

Beautiful and clean place and very quiet and peaceful.I would highly recommend.

The room was very nice - it was compact but had everything we needed. It was clean and new. The freshly baked scones brought to our room was a very nice touch! Only thing was there were chairs in the outdoor space but no privacy so it wasnt very comfortable to sit there.

Had such a nice evening at Canyonleigh retreat. From the moment we arrived Kush was a fantastic host. Very friendly and welcoming. We took some wine and cheese for the evening and bought some Jalapeño Jam sold at reception which was incredible. Room was really nice, comfortable bed, nice couch and building a fire was as fun as always. We sat at one of the communal areas to watch the sunset with a glass of wine then went back later to see the stars (which was incredible). Really relaxing by and fun evening, would go again and recommend anyone else after a short break from city life does the same.
