Australia Yoga Holidays

Overall the stay was good. We had a few issues, that were promptly addressed by staff when brought to their attention. The hotel is old and a bit run down - but it was in a great location and was exactly what we needed. The pool was too cold to use at the time of year we were there and quiet deep so not suitable for small kids. Overall happy with the stay.

This is a beautiful place to stay - loved the location, the stunning coastal scenery and near deserted beach where you can relax the day away in sheltered hammocks or swimming in the pristine waters. The activities offered at the retreat were great - we thoroughly enjoyed a kayak tour along the gorgeous shoreline and a guided fishing tour to Jacks Creek which was a lot of fun but the highlight was a truly wonderful sunset tour where we watched a spectacular sunset from a nearby headland as we sipped on bubbles and enjoyed a delicious cheese platter laid out for us on a private table on the clifftop. All of the staff, most of whom come from all corners of the world, were lovely and always helpful and accommodating. We stayed in one of the villas in a quiet bushland spot where we were woken every morning by a cacophony of bird song - beautiful! We would have preferred one of the ocean view villas but nevertheless had a comfortable stay. My only critique/feedback is that the villas do provide facilities for self-catering but unless you bring food supplies yourself there is no ability to purchase items at the retreat. Despite that, we highly recommend this wilderness retreat and would certainly love to stay again!

First room was terrible! Spiderwebs, and very unclean, barely 3 stars, dated and very dirty! The bed was terrible! probably one of the worst ever in our travels - the mattress completely sank and couldn’t sleep! We got upgraded to the next category which was acceptable and close to 4.5 star perhaps. Dinner at the Pacific was average and expensive. Not good value. Breakfast was probably 3.5 star. The best dinner and highlight was Amici’s which we were fortunate to experience on our last evening. The island itself is spectacular and one of the most beautiful in the world. I think what let the overall place down was the lack of cleanliness and the lack of attention to detail as well as the food. The staff were lovely. However the service when we were ringing to request things was terrible as most of the time our calls were not answered. Overall a paradisaic experience let down by a lack of resources, passion and training - let down by humans - a paradise deserves perfection at least close to it .. the intercontinental fell very short of the mark and what could’ve been.
