The Reconnect Retreat 2025
Learn. Relax. Reset

Information for your stay…
Room Keys: Each room is equipped with an automatic locking mechanism that engages upon closing the door. While the door can be opened with the assigned room key, once shut, it will lock automatically, preventing entry if the key is left inside. Please take extra caution to ensure you do not lock your key inside your room as there is no master key and a call-out fee for a locksmith will be charged.
Wifi: TheAmalfi
Password: password
Heating: To turn on the heater in your room, rotate the dial on the bottom left or right side. You will notice numbers on the dial indicating the heating level (0-8)
Parking: The Amalfi has a designated parking spot at the rear of the premises. Parking is also available in the entrance drive at the front.
Fire Safety: Daylesford and the surrounding areas are currently in the fire danger period. Please do not light any outdoor fires, including using the BBQ.
