Do yourself a favor and spend a few days at The Retreat. Set on a large acreage with manicured gardens, it offers a very quirky ambient, with lavish ornaments and truly world class food, mostly grown in-house. Although it is classified as 5 stars, the staff are very relaxed and friendly. I have traveled extensively, staying in many different hotels, but this place is somehow quite unique. It is only 10 minutes from the CBD,
