For once it was all about me and that was what I have been searching for this is by far the best place I could have found to ease the tension from the stress of every day Life thank you very much for everything.

heather wright: Everything at this retreat was amazing, relaxing, and refreshing. Organic food, the people, the water and beautiful landscape where phenomenal. Being a well-traveled person there's not very many places you find that type of serenity. This is one of my favorite spots and I plan to return soon. When I left every part of my being was regenerated, and though there were many other aspects my favorite was a simple beauty of all of it.Meditation, healthy eating, Gardens, water, landscape, the people, and the spa. I am overcome.Thank you Deb and Ian for the wonderful support, personal attention & Soul awakening at your beautiful beach health retreat.Heather, N.C.

Adeela M: Counselling service provided amazing insights. I had a few sessions which were enough to help me not only cope with my challenges but now I feel stronger than ever.

Priscilla: I'd highly recommend Renew, especially the Bali retreat. I had the most amazing time, the calm tranquil surrounds with the waterfalls, yoga, massages etc provided such a lovely environment, the perfect relaxation away from it all - exactly what I needed to focus on myself while working through the course. This experience has been life changing for me, I can't thank the wonderful staff at renew enough for all they do and for making this retreat possible - thankyou so much 🙏

Jasmine Conway: I have just finished my 10 day retreat and could not be any more grateful for the experience I have had whilst being here. I learnt so much about myself and my journey in life and it has developed such a better understanding on how beautiful it is to be human. All the staff created such a supportive environment where I was able to be vulnerable, open and honest. This retreat was 110% worth it and I wish every person had the opportunity to do this as it really has been a life changing experience. Thank you to all the staff , I am forever grateful for this last 10 days !

Benita Bensch: I was not in a good place when I arrived for 5 days at Renew's Sunshine Coast retreat - struggling with depression, anxiety and a deep down feeling I hadn't been able to shake for some time that something needed to change in my life. My time there, with the support of Jaye and Craig and the visiting therapists, was incredible. The accommodation, comfort, care and food was 5 star. The process I worked through, where I arrived to within my self, and the knowledge I've taken with me to apply has been life-changing. It was the escape from the realities of my day-to-day life that I needed and I've also really valued the follow-up sessions with Craig via phone and zoom. I've absolutely loved my experience with Renew and highly recommend it. Thank you so much to all your team for saving me.

Craig Scott: It is such an honour to work with the clients and see the amazing transformations they go through in a relatively short time.It had been sometime since I was able to help facilitate one of Renews retreats and to get to do so in Bali was even more enjoyable.The great food, tranquil surroundings, yoga, walks, cultural experiences and the educational / therapeutic coaching program provide a wholistic framework for the client to explore the unconscious underpinnings of their mental and emotional dis -ease.Once again it was a privilege to be able to work with the client on this one on one retreat and share in this life changing experience.I hope I get to go back and do this work again soon.

Tygue Smith: I contacted renew health retreat as I was going through a low period in my life. My first contact with Jaye, made me feel at ease and she was very friendly and informative.I worked privately with therapists, over a number of months, rather than in a retreat setting. What I loved was that it was reality based, practical, relatable and they gave me the tools and strategies to face challenges that arise.I can't thank the staff at Renew enough!

Brenda Stickler: The decision to attend the Renew Health Retreat in Bali was the best gift I ever gave myself. The Retreat is an oasis of peace and tranquility where I was able to experience physical, mental, emotional & spiritual healing. My personalised treatment plan that suited my specific requirements has helped me to reconnect with a more basic & natural way of being. Counsellors Jaye & Craig are both supportive, compassionate, non-judgmental and relatable. The Therapy sessions, mindfulness/meditation, relaxation/massages/yoga, the afternoon walks amongst the scenic landscapes and small villages rich in history and culture and other recreational activities have helped me gain perspective and put healthy habits in place returning to life feeling clear minded, happy and productive. I can fully recommend Renew Health Retreat. It has ‘renewed’ my life.

A M: When I called Renew Health Retreat, I was immediately made feel at ease, and Jaye took a real interest in what was happening for me.I arrived to beautiful, cosy accommodation and I was made feel welcome and comfortable.The food was healthy, nutritious and plentiful.The program has given me my life back. I’m leaving now, feeling solid, knowing that I have the skills to cope with life and create the life I want.I loved it all, from the program facilitated, to the yoga, massage, pilates, and time to be with myself.Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Renew.

Ange Clarke: What an incredibly life changing experience. From the moment I sent off the enquiry email I was contacted straight away and guided through the process from the beginning, during and after care.I am learning to have patience and to forgive myself by seeing things from a different perspective. I feel so excited and empowered after being taught the framework.The therapist kept things relatable and down to earth with a great sense on humour. Being surrounded by such positivity, great food I would never have tried and pampering. My cup is and always was full.Could not recommend this retreat highly enough, 5 stars doesn't seam like enough.Thanks for the life changing experience !

Carmel Brock: I spoke to Jaye initially to find out how the Retreat worked after finding it on Google. She was very warm, kind and supportive from our first conversation. I was suffering severe anxiety and had been for a long time, and it was greatly impacting my quality of life. I knew the time had come to do something about it and Renew Health Retreat was the place to go.After my intense one on one sessions with Jayana, I now have a better understanding of my past issues and have many new tools to help with Stress and Anxiety. I feel confident that I can implement all the tools I learnt to enrich my life. My biggest learning that I came away with, is that I am a worthy person, and always have been, and how important self love and self care is. The food was delicious and the Massages, Pilates etc. were very nurturing. I would definitely recommend this Retreat to others. A huge thank you to Jaye and Jayana.

Lj82: I felt completely at ease to work through things. Tops stars all round for delicious food, stunning accommodation and a great learning framework. For the first time in a quite a while I’m super excited for what’s ahead. Thanks Renew ❤️

Alana Carter: I heard about Renew from a friend of a friend and she couldn’t rate it high enough, I’m so glad I went with my gut and chose Renew as well and I also can’t rate it high enough. The ladies went above and beyond. They all have such loving personalities and made me feel at home. From the first phone call I had it set them apart from other retreats, you could tell how invested and compassionate they were and truly wanted to help you. I have learnt a gob smacking amount and it has been truly mind blowing. Not only will this be helping me but also my children. The food was amazing! Where I stayed was beautiful, and the services I had those ladies were beautiful natured as well. I hope that Jaye and Jayana’s knowledge can spread far and wide. They are beautiful souls, and what they have shown me will will stay with me forever. It was all exactly what I was after and needed.

Karla O'Brien: Thankyou Jaye and Jayana for your kindness, love and care getting me through my retreat! I have learnt so much valuable information to help me on my journey forward and thankyou for showing me there is always another way. I cant recommend this retreat enough!!

Kylie Howe: Renew has given me a whole new meaning and understanding of purpose. My only regret is not attending years ago. I now have the foundations to begin real life. Absolutely 100% recommend the Renew Health Retreat as your first call not your last🙂

Craig Beeching: At the moment I am feeling absolutely wonderful, I have got far more from this 8 days than I ever thought possible. I feel freer, I feel like all my core beliegs are just melting away. The staff at Renew are wonderful. Thankyou!!!!Its definitely worth every cent.

Jayana McMahon: I absolutely love working with every client who arrives to experience a Renew Health Retreat with the team. The best part is witnessing the transformation from deep personal stress and other life challenges into a comprehensive understanding of how to make change for themselves and ability to use the tools going forward. Its like seeing the sun emerge from behind clouds when genuine confidence and happier states are re-established. It’s such a privilege to be a part of their journeys.

Leed Winston: Just what I needed. Jaye helped me deal with my grief over my husband's suicide and find a way to balance my life. I learnt skills that will stay with me for life.

Kym Foster: I thoroughly enjoyed my Renew Health Retreat experience in Bali! What a perfect combination of learning, growth and self-development in a beautiful location, combined with plenty of indulgent relaxation and enjoyable cultural experiences as well. Thanks Jaye for sharing your knowledge and skills and packaging it into an amazing opportunity to nourish body, mind and spirit x

Sue Evans: Jaye was amazing. Understood what we were all struggling with. This retreat changed my life

AmerieCkle: I am blessed to have returned to The Health Retreat as an employee and have witnessed time and again the extraordinarily consistent transformation of the most courageous and diverse souls as a result of The Health Retreats uniquely wholistic approach to addictions, depression and anxiety. And like everything in life you get back what you put in, apply or don’t apply.I personally could not work in this environment, with professionals who were unethical in any way or irresponsible in the delivery of support to people at their most vulnerable.I have enormous respect to Carol, Francis, Clint and now Hudson for providing such a wholesome and healing space for their incredible team of professionals to deliver a program with lifelong support to ensure maximum outcomes for each and every client.Special mention to Ozzie & Olive 🐾 they are stars too 🙌🏼

Ruby Hill: The health retreat has been a life changer! The staff were so happy and helpful, very supportive and continued to show their support after the program. I couldn’t be more grateful for what I’ve learn’t at the retreat and the people I’ve meet on the journey. If you are considering to get help and don’t know where to go, honestly the health retreat is best place to reset your way of thinking, get professional help and be around beautiful support that actually care about your well-being!!

Gabby Mcdonald: The Health Retreat is the most most beautiful and positive environment possible. Saliva, Matt, Ange, Clare, Rebecca and Tennelle are truly amazing. A place where real change takes place!

Kiara Reimann: Healing in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I cannot thank my parents enough for their support and sending me to this retreat. and the Health retreat for helping me to cope with my anxiety and realise I am worth it and that I can live a better life. This was the best experience of my life. I met some amazing people who will remain life long friends forever. From games nights to sitting around a fire and just being able to talk about anything and everything with these amazing people and watching everyone grow from the first day to their last was such an amazing experience. met some bloody cute dogs Ozzie and Olive and ate the best food. Also got to see some beautiful sights that I will definitely visit again. All the staff, cooks, counsellors, Clare, Salima, Bonnie, Rebecca, Veronica, Wes, Flick, Angela, Gabbi, Jen, Karen, Matt, Lyn and Carol and Francis and Clint and Hunter and many more of the beautiful staff were beyond lovely, and at the end of the month felt like family I cannot thank them all enough for saving my life 💖💗 I am so grateful and have found so much self love during my time at the Health retreat. I highly recommend the health retreat for anyone who is struggling or just needs a little help to live their best life. The health retreat saved my life and it will always be a second home to me 💖

Elliott Milner: Not only is this a beautiful tranquil location the real magic is delivered by the selfless caring none judgemental people that work there. The people here have helped people close to me and made a life changing difference. Highly recommend!!!

Jacinta Dorante: The health retreat is heaven on earth. I cannot express in words just how much I have learnt, grown and evolved since having the pleasure of staying here. The holistic approach towards mental health really teaches you the anatomy of the human brain. Which is what each of us need to learn to live with each day. I have used my first hand experience of mental ill-health to successfully complete a Certificate IV in mental health and dedicate my life to helping others. I never would of completed my course if it weren’t for The health retreats care and support. For this I am forever grateful. Since I was here as a client in January 2021 I have done nothing but achieved my goals. I’m not perfect, I am only human and I have had a few relapses, but Now I see a bright future ahead of me and always continue to move forward no matter what. The painful past I’ve had is nothing but a life lesson and without that pain I wouldn’t be the person that I am today. Without that pain I never would of known that I wanted a career in mental health. I have learnt to turn the pain of my past into power, as if it is just another life skill. To be able to know that you have walked different paths of life. The more experience I have - good or bad. The closer I am to finding out who I really am. Sometimes you gotta try things to know whether you like it It’s the same principle. Of course no one chooses mental ill-health though. It’s true what they say: you can’t keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. Becoming spiritual has been a big factor in my journey of recovery. It has taught me to take care of every part of my being and has made me learn and be aware of my feelings and triggers. Which to me is how mental ill-health starts. Having a lot of emotions/feelings that has been gone unnoticed for some time. If humans didn’t have feelings we would not know love. Our feelings just need to be cared for and respected by ourselves. If we don’t speak up when we are uncomfortable we loose our voice and over time slowly loose ourselves. Our mental health is the most important thing. We must maintain our sanity in a fast and changing world. Make a stand. Speak up and get support when you need it. Why fit in when you can stand out. Stigma comes from the uneducated that don’t understand mental health. To me they are so far behind in the world. Don’t let that make you feel like your different. Be kind to your mind. Embrace your life experiences and allow it to make you a stronger person. By doing that we can break the stigma together.Peace • Love • Light

Justin Quinn: The program that underpins the teachings at The Health Retreat is a common sense approach to dealing with many of hurdles that we may all face in our everyday lives and is presented in a format that is easy to understand and implement into your life.The location and facilities make The Health Retreat the ideal place to be able to get away from the hustle & bustle of your everyday life and focus on your journey to becoming your BEST YOU.If you are at this point of reading reviews all I can say is YOU owe it to YOURSELF to take the next step and pick up the phone and call The Health Retreat and talk to these amazing people about how they can help.Plus Francis's jokes are...you will have to call to find out or ask Carol to get the final answer, lol.YOU owe it to YOURSELF.

Brett Snodgrass: I honestly didn't think that I could change from the person I used to be in such a short period of time, but honestly this has been the best thing I've ever done in my life. The health retreat has saved me from the darkest place I've ever been in my life, my addictions have controlled my life for so long and caused me nothing but more pain then i could of ever imagined. But its thanks to the health retreat and all the amazing staff that I have been able to deal with all the pain and hurt and come out of this stronger and happier then I've ever been before. I have had so much support from every single person that works here and honestly without their kindness, understanding and support I wouldn't be the man I am today. Its such an amazing feeling being able to actually forgive myself and find out that real happiness isn't impossible and that there are actually genuinely good people in this world. I can't even come close to thanking you all for the gift that this place has given me. This will forever be the place that saved my life and im so grateful I have been given this opportunity! Thank you all so so much for everything!

Sandi Blair: This 5 Star will never be enough... There will never be enough stars, thanks to this team for taking such good care of my Son. Making him realise his worth. Changing and saving lives Health Retreat. We as a family who struggled out of desperation what to do? are so relieved and blessed.. Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts. Thank You all so much, Life Savers ❤

Kristie Dalton: This place literally saved myLife. I almost lost my life in 2019 and continued to relapse through 2020. Nothing helped me until I was taken to the health retreat where i began the start of my brand new life. I am now 3 months sober, my business is thriving my entire life was changed forever. I can not recommend this place enough to anyone who struggles with depression, anxiety or any form of addiction it is LIFE CHANGING! filled with the most incredible team, it feels like your home away from home with a family that become your very own while you’re in there.

Sam: An excellent tailored program that was very specific in dealing with my anxiety and super active nervous system. I gained a very clear understanding of how I had reached this point with the help and assistance of the very talented and professional psychotherapists.With cutting edge therapy techniques and practices I have been able to start myself back on the path I have longed for many years.Through the Goodsky program I can say I have never been so calm and present and now living life again to the fullest.

Cara Carter: Beyond grateful for Goodsky. Incredible support, incredible range of modalities to support individuals and a seriously life changing experience. I wish I had found such an incredible opportunity 20 years ago. Thank you , each of you x

Lucy Aspray: My 18 year old daughter entered the Goodsky programme in November 2022. She has a long history of mental health issues related to trauma and is on the autism spectrum. Traditional talk therapies and skills training such as CBT did not work for her so we sought a different approach. Goodsky understand that traditional therapies rarely work for trauma and use a ‘bottom up’ approach to treat, utilising a variety of different, modern, evidence based modalities. The staff and therapists were amazing - knowledgeable, caring and understanding. My daughter received a completely individualised treatment plan. She gained new skills and processed a lot of her trauma through non talk therapies in the residential stage of the programme and has worked hard to integrate allelements in the out patient stage of the programme. Her mental health has improved drastically, she attends Uni full time and works in retail and has been able to successfully rebuild her life. She is still building on skills to keep herself healthy, but we feel safe knowing we have the Team at Goodsky to reach out to if needed. Highly recommend.

Eliza: Goodsky outpatient program for severe insomnia.It was devastating and frightening when our fit, active, school-loving 16-year-old son suddenly became physically and psychologically unwell early in 2022.He transitioned from competing in his sport every weekend, earning his bronze Duke of Ed, barely missing any school with A grades across the board and socialising with several different friendship groups, to being unable to do anything. He was in so much physical and emotional pain that some days, he would scream for hours on end and not move.We began by navigating the 'traditional' medical route of GPs and psychologists. We knew the system was overburdened and broken before the pandemic, but now we discovered it was almost nonfunctional.Getting an appointment was near impossible. No one offered to do any testing or even have a proper conversation about our options or what was potentially occurring. Instead, they gave us a number for a hotline to call if we were concerned about his physical safety from self-harm. One GP referred us to a specialist that would have taken 6-9 months to see. I had to point out that our son would not be here in 6 months if we did nothing before then.Thankfully a friend had been through a similar journey with her two daughters and gave Goodsky a call for me.They were kind, understanding, and caring. They listened, had seen similar situations before and offered a whole body and mind approach to healing our son. The most significant part of these early stages was that they gave us hope. We can do something. He was not broken. At this stage we did not know how well he could return to his everyday life.A team of practitioners developed a custom plan based on their expertise to get the most effective results for him. From gut health, to physical health and to brain rewiring through breakthrough technology. When someone is unwell, travelling or attending appointments is difficult. They found as many practitioners as possible, either locally or online. They involved us in all the planning and worked together, so we all learned so much, especially my son. He is now in tune with his mental and physical body and knows to listen and look for signs.They check in and reassess regularly. They are willing to change plans where things are not working and have the client's best interests in mind at all times. I hate to think about where my son would be now and in the future without the Goodsky program. We were on a precipice of some terrifying outcomes. Goodsky helped pull my son back from the edge and gave him his life back.He is again competing in his sport. He is the junior representative for his local sporting club and has played an integral part in planning and building facilities for the community. He has only missed a few school days this year, is doing well in all subjects and is working towards his silver Duke of Ed. When we see friends who know where our son was last year, they are blown away at how far he has come, as are we.He still has prescription medications as crutches. However, they are minimal, and now that his body is strong again, I am hopeful, with the help of Goodsky, he will be able to work towards getting off them once his confidence in himself to stay well returns.

Melanie Newell: Goodsky was a great service and support in a time of need. Very holistic approach and client centred. We liked that the programs and intervention were built around the needs of the client and their circumstances rather than using the one box approach for each individual. It was great that family who wanted to be involved were also supported as part of the process.

Nora Fatayerji: Good sky has a team of fantastic professionals who have dramatically helped complex patients suffering from life long trauma, depression and anxiety. We have seen the results and appreciate the deep analysis and treatments customised to suit the patients needs. Greg has supported many of our patients and we are so happy to see see such profound outcomes accomplished. Nora Fatayerji

Alice Atkins: After years of no answers and feeling like I wasn’t being heard within the medical industry, I found Goodsky, and my goodness, what a find! Greg and his team listened and made action from the second I reached out. Their tailored approach to my programme was something I had never come across and I was blown away by the depth and understanding the programme provided me. If you are looking at getting to the root cause of whatever you’re going through- Goodsky is the place for you . Yes it’s expensive and yes it’s scary to jump into the unknown, but the team look after you like you are one of their own. No stone is unturned.I couldnt recommend Goodsky enough.

Brittany Hall: The entire Goodsky team are incredible! Highly passionate, professional and caring team. Would highly recommend

Melissa & Raphael Miragaia: 10/10 service and team of professionals at Goodsky Mental Health Retreat. We provide a personal chef service for all Goodsky retreat clients and we personally know how the team very professionally work all together to create the most amazing individual and in-depth experience for all attending their stay. I can absolutely highly recommend Goodsky for anyone looking to treat anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, PTSD and recovery in any health alignment. The team at Goodsky provide some of the most trained health professionals, i have personally seen the outcome of many patients and the transformation and recovery is incredible. Highly recommend!!!

Laura Baker: I really want to Thank Greg at Goodsky for the professional and caring support he has given my husband and I in giving us options with how to deal with PTSD.I have been dealing with PTSD for years and recently had a Stellate Ganglion Block which I found gave me calmness I had not experienced in a very long time.My children have even noticed how it helped me not to be so reactive and stressed about what seemed like simple things.I really feel Goodsky are genuine in wanting to help people feel better.Thankyou Greg

Mike Shakes: The Goodsky Health Retreat for myself was life changing.The program is not general but designed specifically to your needs and challenges .The service was second to none so a big thank you to all the team

Taylor Giddings: I can highly recommend Goodsky Mental Health Retreat.The communication my family received was outstanding, no question was too big or small. The results our family member achieved was more then we could have ever hoped for. This program works and changes lives for the better.

Lucie Ellis: who offered comprehensive assistance to people experiencing long term anxiety and depression, I finally decided to work with Goodsky. I felt that the other options, although providing serene environments and a calming escape, didn't have the sheer volume of variety and extensive network of allied providers. Goodsky promised a teamwork of professionals all collaborating to bring you to the other side of whatever challenges you were facing. I can 100% agree that this is exactly what they did for me. When I heard the costing I was extremely reluctant, but then I sat and did some calculations of what seeing this collection of professionals would cost me if i sought them out myself.Mind you, I would probably NEVER have sought out some of the therapies - they weren't even on my radar.Having one pivotal person orchestrating my healthcare and keeping track of my progress meant that the whole program ran really smoothly. I felt supported the whole way through my program and even afterwards, and i feel like they have put me in contact with some really amazing practitioners, some of who I choose to continue to see simply because of the success I have experienced with their work.Prior to this, I have stumbled from one GP to the next, trialling different types of medication, trying various forms of talk therapy and honestly had little to no change. I spent so much money doing all of this, and achieving very little.I am on the other side now, feeling the brightest I have in some 5 years. I still have the same life challenges, but I have discovered a whole new way of working with what I have. I look forward to my life now, and I can see a bright future - I could not have said this a year ago.I have told so many people about Goodsky - I am thrilled with their services. If you are finding yourself at the end of your bandwith

Kahla Bramich: The team at Goodsky are amazing. After personally struggling with depression and anxiety for over a decade, trying countless professionals and medications-knowing deep down that any relief was a bandaid rather than getting to what was causing my symptoms. Goodsky’s holistic approach got to the bottom of why my symptoms kept returning.I can’t thank the team enough for giving me my life back.

Pip Schmidt: A wonderful program that helped our child immensely.

Ruth Furber: and be willing to face your demons whatever it takes, you can shift your current state but it takes you to take the first step towards it, they will not let you down and you will not know yourself after you’ve done it.

Jodie Douglas: James and the team have been amazing to work with in providing a profession and seamless booking system. They provide a range of incredible retreats that suit all needs, I can’t recommend them more highly!

Astren Malcolm Smith: Incredible service run by humble and caring people. 5 starts and highly recommended !

Anthea Hilton: This website is so satisfying, can’t wait to go get lost in the magic of a adventure retreat. Customer service is also 👌 they’re super friendly and helpful

M W: This is an eye opening look at the retreat options available in our own country. About time too! I've known the team at Unearthed Retreats for a while, so I knew this marketplace was in the works. Pretty good bunch really, passionate about environmental causes, people, well travelled, genuinely trustworthy and very curious about the world. Platform is simple and easy to navigate. I had a bit of fun uncovering some cool and interesting retreat experiences using this site. Can’t wait to get involved in some upcoming retreats!

Jayden Hance: I can not speak highly enough of Alaya escape and the owner Craig. The room was absolutely gorgeous with a spa bath and fireplace in the lounge room overlooking a beautiful bamboo forest. Craig was so welcoming and eager to make our stay as comfortable as possible. 100% recommend and will be returning whenever we need a relaxing weekend away

Karen Garbutt: Relaxing, refreshing and regenerating are key at Alaya and from the moment you walk in the natural surroundings encourage you to slow down and just breathe.From the moment you arrive, Alaya's host, Craig, welcomes you like an old friend and gently eases you into process of unwinding.  Float tank, sauna and massage are all on offer and Craig is a wealth of knowledge on the benefits of each.The cabins provide pure comfort with large beds, full cooking facilities and full sized spa bath.The poolside Bali-styled huts with comfortable daybeds and hammock swing chair are surrounded by lush, green tropical gardens and trickling water features that provide the perfect environment for unwinding with a book or just simply enjoying the natural cacophony of the surrounds.The tranquil lagoon pool is a welcome oasis on a warm day and provides a blissful backdrop for all the cabinsThank you Craig, Molly and family for creating such a serene and peaceful oasis. It was the perfect location to celebrate our 32nd anniversary ❤

John and Vanessa Lockett: What a beautiful 3 day stay we had at Alaya Escape. We have had the most relaxing time. Highly recommend the floatation tank. Our bodies felt so good. The pool and sauna is a must also. Craig and his family made us very welcome. Even though we had pouring rain the whole time, hearing the rain on the roof and the serenity made our experience even better.We will most definitely be back. Thank you Craig and Family 😀

Lourdes Suarez: Amazing getaway! Craig is so friendly and easy going, the service he provides is perfect. Alaya escape is a magical place, ubud vibes, incredible energy. My partner and I got the deescalation package which includes sauna, floatation and massage. The experience was so good to disconnect from all negative feelings and reconnect with ourselves, and to truly relax. The room has everything you need shower and separate toilet, kitchen, kitchenware and an amazing spa by the window. Everything was super clean. When we arrived we found bacon, pancakes, eggs and milk in the fridge. We left Alaya Escape feeling reenergised and ready for 2021! We’ll definitely come back again!

Tim Crowther: This place is pretty awesome. We took advantage of the sauna and float tank and highly recommend them to anyone staying here. So much so, that my wife googled saunas as soon as she returned to the room. Craig is a great host, who is quite obviously passionate about his establishment and the restorative qualities that it has.

Lisa: Matt and I had a wonderful time during our 4 night stay in Craig's paradise. Very tranquil, we highly recommend Alaya Escape to unwind and recharge. Will definitely be returning.

Nick Lunn: after a stress full first part of the year. I could not of been more impressed of the retreat as a whole and Craig was absolutely amazing in assisting me throughout the process. I tried a number of the services which Alaya offered with the standout being the Deescalation package which consisted of floating sessions, in room massages and a torture session

Katharina Puetz: What a magical place! Everything is just perfect to recharge your battery and to take some time for yourself and time to relax. It's always hard to leave again. The owner is just amazing and does everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Once you are there you should definitely go floating and use the sauna.It is definitely one of my favourite places in Australia, will always come back.

Debbie Pevitt: It's a real slice of tropical paradise, situated hidden in the hills of the Sunshine Coast. We highly recommend staying here and will be back.

Bj: Relaxing, quite resort. Owners went out of there way to make sure the stay was everything we wanted. Offered information about area. We will be staying again.

Sean McCarthy: My wife and I will definitely be returning to Alaya - we had a great long weekend. The room was awesome, loved the spa, fireplace and complimentary breakfast hamper. Craig and his family were very friendly and did everything they could to make our stay a perfect experience.

Cha Cha Cha: We had a lovely time at Alaya Escape. Craig and his family was very nice and lovely to have a chat with.We will be back and send friends and family. Perfect place to relax. Thank you again for having us

Joan Mason: Thank you Craig, Molly & family for our stay at Alaya Escape. You provided everything we were looking for, secluded bungalow, warm fireplace and peaceful surrounds. Loved it!

Elizabeth Lloyde: Fantastic resort with very friendly staff.Great restaurant.Heated pools with spa’s.Shuttle to Hastings Street.Clean and really well maintained.Highly recommend.

Neville Williams: Excellent apartment with very good facilities. Resturants on site was a bonus.Rooms: Very good sized with good beds. Lounge room and kitchen living room great size and fitted out beautifully.Nearby activities: Close to bakery resturants and Aldi.

Sea Shelle (Shelle): Beautiful motel. The apartment was a good size and gardens are beautiful. There are a few pools and they are in the lush gardens. The Thai Chinese restaurant there is actually amazing. Some of the best Thai food I've eaten. They have authentic Thai chefs. It's a large complex but the room are divided by gardens and are private. It's close to shops. It's close to the river.

Elena Melara: Beautiful retreat! Yoga studio, beautiful panoramic view and nice & calming vibe.. this is all you need!

Rick Cowley: I've run 4 of my VysionQuest Retreats at Amara in the last 8 months and each one has been MAGIC. Our favorite things: the big front deck with incredible view, massive yoga space also with that incredible view, the nature - birds, trees, tree frogs and kangaroos, two great tables for group work, the owners who respond quickly when we need something, the dam for swimming, the sauna and pool combo, two campfire spaces. The rooms are simple which fit the "back to nature" vibe of the place. I think the nicest rooms are the glamping tents... so comfy. If you are a fussy, complainy retreat leader this property might not be the best fit, but if being on a big property in nature and doing some walking will enhance your retreat, it's amazing.

Cherry Green: Went here for a retreat and it was such an amazing experience. The house is just beautiful and the owners are the loveliest people. There are cute little cabins if you prefer a quiet stay, with views of the neighbours' miniature goats! If you haven't booked a retreat in this special place, do it right away!

Adira Active: I recently stayed at this beautiful retreat with a group of wonderful ladies, this place exceeded all of my expectations. The family were just delightful and nothing was too much trouble. The views were out of this world. We will be booking our 2022 retreat here again and hoping to bring along more ladies.

Darren & Tina Castle: Had our 2nd visit at the spectacular retreat. The location and landscape is stunning and I love how the business is run by local owners. The owners were such a wonderful couple and extremley attentive to our needs. They should be very proud of what they deliver, i imagine it takes a huge amount of effort and hardwork. I would highly recommend this retreat to everyone

Gus Whitehouse: Absolutely love this place! Just what the doctor ordered after such a hectic year with work and managing covid

Olive Tree Photography: Susannah is friendly and so approachable. I cannot wait time have many retreats here for both my businesses!I can’t wait to drink in the vibe of Amara many many times

Nerida .Weaver: Amara retreat is breathtakingly beautiful...without a doubt the perfect place for a retreat! Susannah is a wonderful venue host, organised, heart-centred and goes out of her way to ensure everyone has an exceptional experience at Amara. Highly recommended!!

Info @ cfs: Stayed here in November 2022 and it is ideally located for the beach, restaurants and shops. The apartment was spotlessly clean and of very high quality. As there were no issues, we didn't need to go to reception except to leave back the key and they were very friendly and helpful. If you are staying in Coolum Beach, this is the place to stay. We will be back for sure.

Kellie Skinner (Blessed Be Bungalow Acc): We had a work Christmas weekend here and had a few rooms including the 3 bedroom apartment. Omg we where absolutely amazed at how beautiful and spacious the unit was. Very luxurious for a fantastic price. What a fabulous experience. The girls in reception where very bubbly and helpful. My only negative was that the 3 bedroom wasn’t exceptionally clean. The cavity doors, mirrors, window tracking and floors could all do with a deep clean. But for the position size and price it was easy to look past. Thankyou we will definitely be back.

Julie Baldan: Most wonderful Family holiday at the beautiful elements at Coolum Beach. The rooms were fabulous and management placed us in units close to one another. Excellent position close to shops and eateries. Kids loved the pool and we had fantastic weather. We made wonderful Family memories in a beautiful resort. Can't wait to revisit. Highly recommended

James Rankine: The ease of booking in and out. The unit was spacious and clean. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We stayed 4 nights and the rates were competitive.We highly recommend Elements on Coolum.

Anaree Nelson: Element on Coolum went above and beyond AS USUAL.I had medicines and food that I did not want to leave in my hot car at the airport so I asked if there was a little space in the fridge at Element. They said yes, and when I arrived out of hours not only had they kept my goodies in the fridge but they were all in the fridge in the apartment I had booked, ready and waiting for us after a tiring day.The staff do not intrude but send friendly text messages offering assistance with anything you need.Check-out is a breeze.The apartments are clean and well maintained. The location, right in the heart of Coolum and right across from the beach, is perfect for enjoying all Coolum has to offer on foot without having to drive anywhere.I have stayed at Element several times and always made to feel at home.My family members from around Australia meet at Element on Coolum and we will continue to do so as it has easy access for elderly, and a lovely pool for the children.Element staff treat patrons like family, not like a business transaction. This is rare.I will stay at Element on Coolum again in the future, no question about that.

Marg Singleton: We stayed the for 3 nights, had a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom apartment for the 6 of us. The rooms were spotless and the beds really comfortable. There were plenty of dish washing liquid, tablets, garbage bags and toilet paper. Everything you need.The staff were fantastic nothing was to much trouble. The units are very well appointed and essentials plenty of. We also used the sitter they recommended. She was amazing certainly can recommend her. Definitely will be staying again. Close to shops restaurants and beautiful water views. heated pool too. Thank you for making our stay fantastic.

Jason Ernest: 3 bedroom apartment had plenty of space very modern and clean. Good size balcony and nice to have a view. So close to shops and cafes perfect location

J J: Great location. Rooms definitely exceeded expectations.

Jodie Jones: Fantastic stay as usual! We come each year and just love Elements. The location, staff and very clean apartments are the best on the coast!We stayed just as covid was spreading during the Christmas period but felt very comfortable with cleanliness measures being taken and guests being spread far enough apart. Special mention to David he went over and above to help me with an issue with our car, great service thank you. See you again in 2022!

S G: We have just returned from our 2nd holiday in a gorgeous 2 bedroom pool view apartment. We had a great time and our apartment was really well suited to a family holiday. Thanks to everyone at Element on Coolum for the excellent customer service. Everything is kept really clean and the covid protocols are simple and practical, thanks for keeping us all safe while we had a wonderfully relaxing holiday! We loved being so close to the beach as well as many excellent restaurants and cafes. There is also a supermarket in easy walking distance. We have booked another holiday in 2022!
