Ananda Wellness Retreat

We had such a lovely time at Amanda Wellness Retreat. We visited with other families with primary aged children and we all loved the pool, spa and sauna. The breakfast room is gorgeous and food delicious. We were lucky enough to stay in the VIP room and felt like royalty. The rainforest surroundings are magnificent. We loved exploring the roaring river and walking through the bush.

Beautiful place. Had early dinner to avoid the rush and the food was the best that we had in a long time. Spinach/Palak Paneer, Veg Kolhapuri and cheese naan were something I would highly recommend if you are not sure what to order. Thanks for an amazing experience! 100% Vegetarian food !

We recently ran a 7 day yoga meditation retreat here and the service from beginning to end was exceptional. Every need was met and the managers went above and beyond to help and support our requests throughout the retreat. The location is magical and the food is superb. As an event manager and guest I can highly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back!

One of the best wellness resorts that I have ever been to! Incredible facilities, warm reception, beautiful pool, spa and massage rooms. Glorious gardens. I attended the New Year retreat and have to say it was the best start to a New year that I have ever began! The food was amazing - so healthy and so fresh - keen to go back again! I am not a full vegetarian but I could live forever on their vegetarian food. Room were freshly renovated and well appointed .Reach out if you want further feedback.

Attended a 2 night retreat hosted by Ananda Wellness Retreat & Guest Host Deborah Gibson Awaken Your Goddess. I couldn't ask for a most relaxing and learning experience. Could not fault anything with Ananda Wellness Retreat

The place has HUGE potential but the management was really poor. I think we have just been unlucky to be in a very quiet weekend with no other guests and reduced staff due to pandemic.At reception we had to wait for 20 minutes to get someone to check us in (had to call phone number to get someone to come). I would have loved to book some extra services like massage, water bed, etc but it did not inspire reliability and professionalism. The room was really cold when we got in, so I suggest if you are expecting guests (for $180 a night), turn on the heater maybe 20/30 min before.

Great place to stay and wind down.Nestled in the midst of rainforest and mountains this place has a character.Absolutely loved the fresh vegan dinner.

Lisa and the Team were exceptional. Lisa’s empowering way of life truly shows in her Yoga practice. If you are new to yoga she is so encouraging and caring. No wonder the most kindest and extraordinary people are drawn to her and her mantra. I am excited to have experienced the beginning of her journey as the new manager of the retreat. Her short weekend yoga retreat re-grounded me and quietness down the chaos that was in my head. Her meditation and gong yoga had brought me back to me- and I thank you Lisa.The property is so beautiful - it’s in a Forrest! The outdoor cedar hot tub and cedar sauna was just perfect. Wish I had more time to swim in the large pool and cook on the generous bbq facilities! Bit of work to do (fix awning above hot tub, finish furnishing the gym, permanent/reliable massages, refurbish the outdoor restaurant/bar) but I am confident with the new management the property will bloom.The room was spacious but enough. Could do with cleaner bathroom, larger towelling.The restaurant is one of the best authentic South Indian food I have had in Australia- and we have travelled to India and Sri Lanka. So fresh, fragrant and generous portions! The complimentary breakfast doesn’t align to the theme tho and I was hoping for more authentic vibes like a roti or hopper or lentils :) The Indian food is a must!I look forward to seeing you again Lisa and the Team. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay.

1. Towels are way too small don't even wrap around your body.2. Bed was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable.3. Spa bath had no hot water so couldn't use it. When we tried to fill it only cold water came out a rusty brown colour.4. Massage service was not very good.5. Coffee in the room tastes horrible.6. Waited at reception 40 mins to check in.Check in time was 3pm. The guy didn't come to us til 3:40pm he knew we were waiting for him and so was about 4 other couples/families.7. If your in the bottom floor you can here the people in the room above you stomping all night.Unfortunately I won't be back. The only good thing I can say is that the area is beautiful and the local club in Jamberoo was lovely. Taxi service was amazing.
