wouldn't recommend the retreat for people with mobility or health conditions. No phone signal. no help in an emergancy.Roads are like tracks with farm vehicles having no concern for drivers.notice concerning snakes a bit of a worry.but my main concern was for my husband's safety. Left and came home after one night.lf you want to be solitary and never found ideal.advert needs to be more informative saying how isolated it is
