The place is very clean, very well organized and we always feel as at home, very relaxing and enjoyable. The units are designed in modern, comfortable and pleasant manner. The owners are very friendly.

The cleanliness and precise placement of everything did offer a challenge! It is not a bother, but the gutters do need a clean. That is all I have on possible improvements!

This is one of the most perfect places we have stayed. I will not list everything, but it has everything. It is spotless, comfortable, well laid out and very private. It has the most precise layout of crockery and cutlery that I have ever seen.

charming chalet with lovely wooden floors and furnishing.

Can’t think of anything. Maybe that we had to leave.

This is a beautiful property that the owners have maintained to the highest standard. You are surrounded by the use of wood both inside and naturally in the bush and outside. It was such a pleasure to call it home for 6 nights. Top class appliances and utensils made it easy living with no exceptions. There was even a shoe rack at the back door we were kindly asked to use for our muddy boots. It was so beautifully worded you wouldn’t say no.

Everything- location, facilities, clean, view.

The villa was clean and the view is excellent. Location is absolutely amazing- very quiet and the view from the windows is just staining.

bed was a bit on the small side. Would have preferred the option of singles.

The remoteness. The peace, the tranquil setting, the birdsong in the morning. The space.

There was nothing I didn't like.

Very quiet and private. The decor and amenities were exceptional. Absolutely beautiful 👍

Random knocking and banging sounds, unsure where it was coming from, hard to sleep. Not windy so it wasn't the weather.

Loved how lovely and clean it was, bath was amazing, very relaxing, great space.

Very quiet, secluded location adjacent to bush. Accommodation was lovely in every respect. Spacious and beautifully appointed. Kitchen with everything you need. Nice touches with ground coffee and flowers in each room. Massage on site very good too.

We didn’t expect poor water pressure in the shower and toilet, front door difficult to lock, lack of any rugs on the cold floors, doona too hot for spring and alternative blanket not warm enough. One single 200ml full cream milk.

Beautiful space, quality appliances and furniture, unusual design, views from bedroom window overlooking bush. Spacious rooms. Good kitchen. Loved the wooden floors and sleek wooden furniture, super comfortable bed and pillows, comfortable sofa. Welcome chocolates, plunger ground coffee, selection of teas. Cute recessed spaces in walls for ornaments and books.

No negatives.

Loved the quiet, home like feel, the isolation and the cleanliness. The hosts are excellent and very welcoming and helpful.

Couldn't find the laundry, but didn't bother the hosts, decided to wait to do it as our trip was nearly over.

Loved this property, particularly the curved window in the bedroom which had a view of the trees in the garden. The bed was also extremely comfortable, and there was plenty of storage/wardrobe space in the walk in robe.

The instructions to find the place was easy to follow. Aiyana Retreat was clean, had lovely view of the forest and everything you may need during a holiday was available at the accommodation including the kitchen/amenities. The jacuzzi bath was lovely.

Such a great location and a beautiful place to stay with so many positive notes to mention. I would humbly suggest for a winter stay if the retreat could provide soft cosy blankets for the couch. The place did not seem very well insulated for winter. It was absolutely freezing when we arrived and took a long time to warm up. I would suggest turning on the heating before guests arrive to take the chill off if possible. I felt bad to leave the heater on for the length of time that I did, but it really did drop in temperature the minute you turned it off. The right side of the bed, the electric blanket, wasn't working but working on the left side. It took me a while to find the full-length mirror. After finding it on the inside of the wardrobe door, I found it awkward to use as you have to stand so close to the wardrobe to see yourself. Adding a beautiful wooden framed large full-length mirror somewhere with good lighting like near the entrance would be 10/10. Shorter people would find it hard to do their hair and makeup in the bathroom mirror. I'm not sure if it states this in the description, but the woodfire burner is a gas/electric type, not a real one. This is great for a lot of reasons, but we do enjoy a fire in winter. Maybe our own fault for not reading the description thoroughly.

The style was beautiful. Stained glass windows and all the woodwork, stunning. Everything was of great quality, including the towels and bedding. The curved window in the bedroom was a nice touch. Equipped with electric blankets and bath robes. The bedding was really comfortable, and the pillows were great, too. I had the best sleep as I like my mattresses on the firmer side. Gorgeous lighting everywhere to suit any mood. All the furniture was of great quality and well maintained. The couch was extremely comfortable. The tv was working well and easy to use, foxtel and netflix. Wifi was great, no problems at all, and password displayed in an easy to spot location. The bathroom had plenty of towels and toiletries provided of generous amounts perfect for the length of our stay and the number of people staying, well thought of. The bath was amazing with spa jets. The kitchen was very well equipped, and everything was clean and easy to find. Big tea selection, brown sugar, Nicaraguan coffee with coffee plunger, and small milk in fridge. The outside was beautiful. Every window you opened had a view of gardens, and outside the living room, there is a water feature that you could hear if you opened the door. We stayed in winter but I can imagine a summer visit would be much better. There is an outdoor shower you can use as you arrive back from the beach, which is only a short drive or an hours walk. We only stayed 2 nights, so we didn't need to use everything, but there is a full laundry room accessible from the outside well equipped with an ironing board, too. The retreat was easy to find with helpful instructions from the owners. Very close to the town centre. The retreat offers family-friendly services such as a cot and extra room with 2 single beds. Really appreciate the staffs help for my request of surprising my wife with flowers on arrival. The presentation and selection were beautiful. The chocolates on the coffee table was a nice welcome also.
