My fiancé and I stayed at the Sol room this past week for 3 nights and had the most wonderful experience! The accomodation exceeds expectations. It’s all in the little details; being greeted upon arrival even though it was late at night, the room being beautifully lit, warm bread sitting on the kitchen counter, a full fridge of breakfast items, flowers on the bed, little chocolates by the spa bath and as many coffee pods as we could wish for! We loved every second of our stay and it was worth every single dollar. We will certainly be back! Thank you to the owners for a beautiful experience that my fiancé and I will cherish forever!

This place blew my expectations out of the water! Private and nestled by nature. Extremely clean, so many extra goodies, breakfast ingredients in the fridge, port, ice cream, juice, 1 free bottle of wine (your choice from around 8 options), candles, ahh we were blown away! I booked this place to surprise my girlfriend and she was mesmerized! The grounds is also so cute and beautiful. To make things even more special, I proposed to my girlfriend in their glasshouse. I want to give a huge thank you to Irina & Alex at the retreat for helping me set up the proposal without any hesitation what so ever. Irina decorated the glasshouse and it looked absolutely beautiful and magical! Their willingness to help made this trip so memorable and pleasant. I would highly recommend this place to any couple wanting to have a romantic getaway!

I stayed here with my bridesmaids before my wedding and my wedding night and it was perfect, The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and prepare for our big day. The attention to cleanliness and comfort was evident, and every detail was thoughtfully considered. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and their hospitality made us feel right at home. It was a wonderful start to our wedding weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a warm and memorable experience. The highlight was coming back from our wedding and finding the room decked out in romance with petals and wine.

'The Complete Package' - making your way to the drawbridge style entrance sets you up perfectly for what you next encounter. The room was the perfect romance seen. To further cement the allure, a complimentary choice of wine, luxury chocolate, cheese and crackers are included and an amazing farm fresh, hearty breakfast. It wasn't the case this time but it is without doubt that this is the place to go when you're in trouble. All will be instantly forgotten it's impossible not to.

The view and scenery is beyond words.. and last of all the Sol spa suite is nothing we have ever seen before.. it’s indescribable.. They were also so generous with the supply of food and beverages they left for us. We will definitely be back.. Definitely worth every cent..

Absolutly amazing!! Stayed here after our wedding and it was everything we hoped for in a post-wedding relaxing retreat. Arina was very helpful and accomodating. The room was beautiful and all the extra touches really makes it perfect. We stayed in the Sol Suite, maybe next time we will try the Luna. We look forward to coming back again for our anniversary!!! Thank you Aquila Nova team.

Stayed here last year with my partner! He booked it for a surprise romantic getaway. The place is spectacular with wonderful views. The fresh hot bread on arrival was delicious! If you’re looking for a romantic weekend away I highly recommend booking this place you won’t be disappointed.

This place was absolutely beautiful. The owners are amazing people to deal with, and let me say the antipasto platter was very much enjoyed highly recommended. The surroundings of the property is worth the stay. The room was so divine.

What a beautiful little bed and breakfast. The grounds are simply stunning and the accommodation couldn't be faulted. I would come back any time! We stayed in the aquila nova spa cottage. Everything that I could think of was catered for. With the spa right next to the bed, it was pretty luxurious.

Came and stayed here on our wedding night as we were married at Lyrebird Falls just down the road. My wife's aunty sorted out the accommodation.. the room was absolutely stunning.. wish we could have stayed longer. The room was perfect. I'd definitely come back and stay again for sure.

Recently stayed here for a weekend getaway for the partners birthday. We were honestly both blown away by how good this place was. It exceeded my expectations and truly feels like you've transcended into a different time period upon entry, magical little spot!

Absolutely beautiful couldn't ask for a better way to unwind and romance that special someone in your life, I highly recommend taking advantage of the whole package I certainly wasn't disappointed and will return again sometime soon

It was a great night and the service and room was perfect for a weekend away. The only drawback was a bit if smoke in the room from the fireplace but no big deal. Highly recommend a stay for a getaway weekend with someone special.

Great stay in comfy accomodation. Pet friendly so we could bring our pooch. Only downside was the fireplace, gets a little smoky. Beautiful place and awesome gardens. Owners were lovely and beautiful baked bread on arrival.

Gorgeous location , service is Devine and the rooms are incredible
