We immediately felt connected to the Retreat (we stayed in the Koonyum Villa), Piari welcomed us and made us feel at home immediately. The villa is stunning, beautiful old massive wooden posts, very comfortable beds with exquisite linen. Everywhere you stand, from the kitchen with the world's best water purifier and mod cons, to the loungeroom and bathrooms with stunning views of the valley and ranges. You can see the sea. Normally we love full beach access, but this is another experience altogether. Sitting in the hot tub on the verandah with our organic beers, with eagles, kookaburras and a magnificent view, doesn't get any better. The never ending supply of croissants and jam, yoghurt, coffee machine, teas, fresh milk and fresh mint tea were divine as we watched the sun rise each morning. I have never felt so welcome and yet it felt so private. We chose the bedroom surrounded by glass and lovely windows which made us feel that we were floating over the valley. We felt so safe and secure and yet so open to our surroundings. We will be returning as soon as we can, it is now our preferred holiday destination! Thanks Piari & Miki
