Not sure about the 'retreat'. Owners seemed indifferent to our arrival. Didn't introduce themselves or even explain the facilities or offer us the breakfast menu. $27 for breakfast was a bit rich anyway our room had tiny window 6 feet high so couldn't have eaten and looked at a view. Shower was cold and seemed to be on some sort... More

From the time we set foot in Perth we enjoyed the hospitality of Jon and Shelley at the Guildford River Retreat, this well equipped idyllic boutique facility situated in the picturesque suburb of Guildford was a wonderful place to stay, I would personally like to keep it a secret however the tourist world needs to hear about it. Within walking... More

When recently attending training in Perth we had the usual rigmarole finding accommodation that was both practical and affordable, but also nice to come home to after a long day putting your butt to sleep. Where others chose accommodation close to the training venue I chose to stay at the Guildford River Retreat. The reasons for this covered everything from... More

My partner and I stayed here during our WA holiday. The hosts were welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. They had a good selection of DVDs that we could borrow for free while we enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the balcony room, which was beautifully and comfortably appointed.

We booked our room as we were seeing family in Mandurah but because our flight was arriving very late and after a 24 hour flight we decided to stay somewhere near the airport to rest up before heading on (we also didn't want to use the usual chain hotels). This place was a perfect compromise. We arrived at about midnight... More

We have stayed in this lovely old school building many times over the past 2 years as we are from the country and find this the nicest place close to the airport. Guildford is a beautiful old area and there are many restaurants and shops nearby. Parking is secure and although this place is opposite the trains we never hear... More

We booked the Guildford River Retreat for two nights to attend a family event in the Swan Valley. We went for the basic studio room as we were not going to be spending much time there. The room was very, very clean and tidy, with airconditioning, a small fridge and kitchenette. Bathroom was spacious and also very clean (possibly recently... More

finding ourselves at the airport with flight not until the next day we checked online and telephoned to find this gem of a place. Jon couldn't have been more welcoming, even tried to sort out the fully booked hotel to find us a room to rest and shower in the following day as our flight wasn't until late the following... More
