You get a complimentary breakfast hamper which was enough to sustain us for 3 days. Great place great hosts. ##### Shona Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Just what we needed. Very relaxing. Loved the room and the extras. Breakfast hamper on the first day was lovely. lovely drive. Close to the coast but fare enough away that we could be in the peace and quiet. Some more personalized information about the area and local restaurants with maps/directions in the room would have been more useful than a bunch of brochures to attractions. Could have done with an extra sofa, even a small single seat one. All the DVD's provided were scratched up (I did not get a chance to mention this to the owner) so take entertainment. I am not sure if there is WIFI because I did not check. Loved the cling film, it was highly useful. the room was lovely and well presented, we would consider going back. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna 31 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was in an idyllic location.

Extremely peaceful and relaxing vibe. The owner Craig was very welcoming and a great bloke who provided us with tips on the best places to eat and drink and must see locations. The facility had a lovely pool which we could swim in at any time of the day and night. Overall perfect location for a couples getaway. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An absolute beautiful experience at Alaya.

Craig has worked hard to make this place special. You can do as little as you like and just use the pool, and steam room to soak up the vibes. Or you get out and about and visit the wonderful surrounding towns and countryside. Thanks for a wonderful stay! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen, Gympie, Qld 29 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Escape to Alaya - Relax and unwind Craig and Molly from Alaya Escape promise "Relaxing, Reconnecting, Renewing and Recharging" - and they deliver! From the moment you walk through the gates of this Bali on the Sunshine Coast, you can feel yourself begin to unwind. Craig personally came to check that we had settled in, as well as hand-delivering our delicious breakfast hamper. Our bungalow (Ubud) was clean, comfortable and had everything required to feel like home. A mini 'library' provided a selection of books and DVD's - that's in case it happens to rain I guess...the gardens and outdoor pavilions are too lovely to stay indoors for long. Magnificent tropical gardens surround the pool and hide pavilions just waiting to be lounged in. Hammocks, daybeds, a library, sound system, water features and help-yourself mini-bar all create the perfect environment for doing absolutely nothing! Or for those who are more energetic, mountain bikes are available. I liked the extra touches of Craig and Molly's "Favourite Food Experiences" in the local vicinity. We tested a few out and were not disappointed! We didn't try the other services available such as Massage and Sauna, so we'll save that for next time... I highly recommend Alaya Escape...I definitely will escape there again! ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kreisha, sydney 20 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful rainforest retreat This gorgeous retreat is perfect for couples: the rooms are thoughtfully decorated, with a spa bath and gorgeous views. Craig was the most welcoming host and couldn't do enough for us. We'll certainly be back. ##### kreisha Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Morgan, Sunshine Coast 5 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing!!! My partner and I spent the weekend just passed at Alaya Escape and we had the most amazing time! Craig and his family are very hospitable and made every minute of our stay comfortable! The rooms are absolutely amazing, the environment surrounding the rooms is amazing. Honestly, everything about Alaya is stunning! The thing that was big for us was that we were allowed to take our dog with us which made our day! Thankyou so much for having us and we can't wait to return in the near future! We will be returning 100%! ##### Morgan Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris and Sally, Brisbane 18 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### To get away from it all Perfect place to go to relax disconnect and refresh.

Queensland 2 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ultimate spot to chill My wife and I spent two days at Alaya, and it was the perfect place to relax and find time to do nothing. The stillness and energy of the surrounds was wonderful. Waking to the gentle sound of the rain on the roof, on the first morning just added to the joy of being able to sit and relax. The temple was a short 20 minute walk away, and this was the perfect adjunct to our stay. Craig and Molly made us feel extremely welcome, and then left us to just revel in the stillness of what they have created. ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort So peaceful and relaxing, will definitely be back. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie, Brisbane 30 Jun 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful Getaway!
