• Lauren (10/5): Paul was a lovely host who welcomed us into his beautiful home. We had all the amenities we needed and felt very comfort - We loved everything! The view was spectacular, especially for sunset & sunrise and overlooking the hinterlands. The room had lots of privacy and was very cosy. We had a wonderful breakfast cooked for us whilst enjoying a visit from the birds. I couldn’t fault anything, it was perfect!
• Pk (10/5): Alexandria Retreat - the real deal - Not only was it a quality property to stay at - the view was incredible. Our Host Paul paid attention to all the fine details that make a stay special from the preparation of the room to breakfast to the warm atmosphere - 5 🌟
• Stella (9/5): Quiet hinterland retreat - Excellent communication and is a friendly host. Lovely space and views. Large breakfast while entertained by the local birds. Stocked with everything you might need or want for a few nights away. Quiet spot away from the crowds and traffic, yet a short drive from the hinterland hotspots. Alexandria is a shared home space, however there is amazing privacy, discretion and freedom of movement. Would not hesitate to recommend to others. I would have liked to stay longer, but our schedule didn't allow it.
• Diane (10/5): Well chosen as a couple retreat for privacy and comfort! - Our host Paul was amazing and accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for a better reception or feel more welcomed. We loved together location, the room and of course the breakfast was exceptional! We also got to get up close and personal with the kookaburras, magpies and the lovely tame butcher bird we named TBone. Fabulous stay and we plan on returning! Nothing to dislike - it was great!
• Marie (9/5): Superb - The benjalese cats of the host made my day! Better than going to a cat Cafe. 😀
• Karki (9/5): Superb -
• Dimitrios (10/5): Paul was great host and we will definitely be back - The property was amazing the views from our room spectacular.
• Ruby (10/5): Had a fantastic experience and thank you so much - The location and the beautiful venue brings a feeling of comfort for any tenant that comes there. Nothing
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jay (8/5): Divine location with such an awesome host and his breakfast is phenomenal. - The location was divine and our host (Paul) was fantastic, did all that he could to make sure our stay was pleasant. Although the room was clean, beautifully laid out and well presented. The unfortunate setup didn’t really allow adequate privacy if/ when other guest walked past. Also, hearing room noise from above and water facilities etc. Overall, minor distractions from a great location and absolute awesome host. My partner and I will most likely try the other room when we stay next ;)
• Alan (10/5): Excellent B and B would recommend it. - Breakfast was superb. Nothing
• Peta (10/5): Absolutely fabulous! Our hosts did everything possible to make our stay exceptional - We loved the views, the cleanliness, the eye for detail, our friendly hosts, the scrumptious breakfasts and the relaxed atmosphere of this fabulous retreat.

• Simone (10/5): Excellent host & accommodation- would highly recommend - Easy to find Good off street parking Premises very clean & comfortable It ticks all the boxes Nothing Loved everything about the stay
• Brock (10/5): Would much rather spend the little extra to stay here anytime! - Paul was a great host. He made me a coffee on arrival and gave some good suggestions for dining out. The hot breakfast that he whipped up was sensational!! The weather was cold and windy, if the spa was heated it would have been an awesome spot to relax.
• Shaun (10/5): We were only there 3 days but it felt like a week, was sensational - Breakfast was 10/10!! Paul is a superb host, one of the best I've come across. Bigger bed would be great and so soft you bouce on it.
• Raymond (10/5): I do highly recommend Alexander Retreat it gets 5 stars from me. - The views stunning the owners have a great knowledge of the area know matter if you want to go bush walking or wanting to go too the best beach or restaurant they know all the attractions in the area, they are very nice people very polite and respectful and a great sense of humour to boot, the breakfast is hearty and also free they cook your eggs the way you like them, also free WiFi yes free no extra charges. I wanted to do something special for my partners 50th and they accommodated my wish’s perfectly, Highly Recommend if you like to be close enough to the beach but far away enough to have peace and quiet this is definitely the place, I also want to thank both the owners for being great hosts your hospitality is amazing you will be seeing us again! There was nothing not to like about the stay, honestly you would have rocks in your head if you thought otherwise.
• Victoria (9/5): Alexandria Retreat is a revelation. Everything has been thought out and cared for. - Breakfast was absolutely delightful with everything you could want or need and a wonderful host. The location is gorgeous in my opinion as it was just what I was looking for. A wonderful early morning walk in the hills with panoramic views with a swim in beautifully designed pool after and then breakfast made it almost better than home!
• Julie (8/5): very comfortable with the best breakfast ever - best breakfast with amazing views location
• Adrienne (9/5): Superb - Breakfast, the views, beautiful Paul who took great care of us Price haha
• Claire (10/5): What a wonderful property. Great hospitality, lovely rooms and great pool! - Wonderful hospitality Views Breakfast Comfortable and clean rooms Lovely pool area Nothing at all
• Jordani (10/5): The true definition of "UNDERpromised and OVERdelivered". - I certainly don't have enough vocabulary to describe this stay. I stay in a lot of places. This place is not your usual. Although I will leave some important points: - Location is great. - The view is breath taking. - The host is friendly, easy-going and an amazing human being. - The breakfast itself is already worth the stay. Therefore, very reasonable stay price. - Private even if the host is home or there is another guests. All I have to say is a big Thank you Paul! Will be back at the first opportunity!
• Sharon (10/5): relaxing, enjoyable, friendly host - Although it was raining the entire time, it made our stay very relaxing. The room had all we needed & breakfast was amazing & plentiful. The property is only 25 minutes to Hastings Street, so still close to Noosa. The host was very helpful, quick to respond & lovely to chat with.
• Gerald (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (10/5): Fabulous house in a beautiful scenic area. Paul was an excellent host and cooked a great breakfast. -
• Lynda (10/5): The perfect weekend getaway - This property is just beautiful. In a fantastic spot close to Eumundi and with the most incredible views across the valley to the coast. Paul is a fantastic host and adds so many extra touches to make you feel pampered. The rooms are gorgeous, the breakfast is better than we’ve had in 5star hotels, and the bird life and scenery is so calming we didn’t want to leave.
• Diane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chloe (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast service was timely and the food was exceptional and all handmade by the lovely host. The location was stunning and suits the escape from the city retreat. The view and house itself was breathtaking. The host was lovely and very caring and considerate to any needs we may of had. He gave us space but also checked up on us to see if he could further our experience. Highly recommend to everyone.
• Jocelyn (9/5): Wonderful stay, great place to getaway and relax. - Beautiful property in amazing surroundings. Paul was so friendly (but gave enough privacy) and welcoming and cooked a delicious breakfast each morning. It was so nice hanging out by the pool and enjoying the views. NA
• Sally (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brooke (10/5): Absolutely amazing. The room was clean and super comfy. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. - Awesome stay. Paul was very welcoming and had great local dinner recommendations. The room was super clean and comfy and had little extras like biscuits and soft drinks in the fridge. The location is perfect for time out from the busy beach locations with an epic view over the valley to the ocean. And then there was breakfast... wow! Fresh fruit and yogurt, coffee, tea, juice and then he comes out with a hot cooked brekky! Delicious! Thank you Paul.
• Zoran (10/5): Exceptional - The location in the Noosa hinterland was fabulous. You wake up in the morning with glorious views towards Noosa and Coolum. Paul was an exceptional host and one of the highlights was his breakfast. We will come back for sure. Everything was great.
• Sharon (10/5): An Exquisite Getaway - From the moment we arrived at the property we were over awed at the beauty of the location and surrounding country side and the exquisite presentation of the interior of the residence. The amazing uninterrupted views from every angle from the residence looking down across the hills to the coast was superb. Our room was impressive with very comfortable beds and little details taken care of. The location of the property was easily accessible to short trips to surrounding towns such as Noosa Heads and Cooroy. Our hosts Paul and John were very hospitable, full of cheer, kind and attentive and served breakfasts that were a work of art and delicious. Every aspect of our two nights stay was so wonderful and relaxing. This property is of exceptional high standard. There was nothing to dislike about this property or the service we received.
• Brian (7/5): Great staff and a wonderful room offset a bit by a creaky bed, but dominated by a stunning vista. - The breakfast was superb. The location of the room was sublime. The selection of teas, coffee and treats in the room was very much appreciated. The extensive range of cosmetic and personal cleaning products in the bathroom was a nice touch. The shower splashes water all over , not only the floor, but everything! The bed is not very supportive. Movement of one in bed disturbs the other person sleeping easily.
• Karla (10/5): - Amazing views and location! Will be back!
• Pamela (10/5): - We liked the fact it was in a quiet location , not far from places like Noosa or Eumundi. The hosts made us feel very welcome , and the breakfast was delicious. Would stay there again
• Loren (10/5): - Paul is an incredible host. The setup at Alexandria Retreat is perfect. The views are relaxing and beautiful. The breakfast options were an absolute treat. To local area of Doonan and Eumundi were fantastic for food and experiences. I can't wait to come back for some more R&R!
• xulong (10/5): Awesome - It was amazing. The host provided us great experience. Very nice place l. Great breakfast, nice room, nice view. Loved it
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The whole experience was amazing and would really recommend
• Jemima (8/5): - The hinterland retreat is ideally located, a 10 minute from Eumundi and 20 minute drive from Noosa. The magnificent views, stunning pool and delicious breakfast are only topped by its lovely host Paul who makes you feel very welcome.

Paul is a fantastic host, preparing an amazing breakfast with an ideal setting. Cheers, Michael and Sheryl
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Can we just move in here and never leave? We would do that in a heartbeat... literally! Location, view, birds, tranquility... and then came breakfast... OMG!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We spent a remarkable Australia Day weekend at Alexandria Retreat. Paul was an amazing host, very welcoming and happy to assist. We are grateful for an early check in and a later check out. We were terribly sorry to miss two of the included breakfast due to our tours schedule as Paul is an excellent cook and our brekky was outstanding! The view from our room (we had the pool view room) was breathtaking overlooking the Noosa Headlands. Once we have spotted a kangaroo in the backyard! The pool is super clean and water was warm. Paul also offered the beach towels and even helped to do some urgent washing (avoid rainbow lorikeets flocks))). Some little remarks. The bed was a little too soft to our preferences. And drive up to the parking with care as there is a steep entrance. Thank you Paul for our fantastic weekend away! We will definitely come back!
• Anthony (10/5): Beautiful Stay and made to feel at home. - Had a short one night stay. Was blown away by the property, the view and the service. Very friendly personal welcome and gourmet breakfast. Will definitely be back.
• Nurlinda (10/5): Simply amazing! - Love everything about the accommodation. Infinity edge pool with amazing view. High quality amenities, bed, little treat provided like soft drinks, good quality tea, coffee and chocolate is really appreciated. The most amazing part is the breakfast. Wow! Paul the owner has put a lot of care and effort to provide us not only with with generous continental breakfast buffet. He also provided us with the most amazing cooked breakfast. I enjoyed the breakfast he cooked more than any of fancy restaurant or hotel I stayed have stayed in the past. Not to mention the view where the breakfast is served was just simply breathtaking.I would definately recommend this beautiful Bed and Breakfast if you are looking to stay somewhere than ine of those run of the mill accomodation.
• Ann (10/5): - Fantastic! So relaxing, great view out towards the sea, lots of space. Excellent breakfast - other people had said how good the breakfasts were so we had high expectations and the breakfast was even better than what we expected!
• Leigh (10/5): Breathtaking views and amazing breakfast - Perfect location for visiting noosa and surrounding areas. Incredible views of the coastline and beautiful pool. Paul is the best host and cannot do enough to make your stay comfortable. Ample parking and local village eumundi not far away . Visiting the eumundi market is a must !!
• Karen (10/5): Beautiful quiet spot - Great getaway, the location is so quiet. The owners couldn't do enough for us. The only small thing would have been nice to have Foxtel in the room so you could watch a movie in bed. Very nice overall.
• Gillian (10/5): Totally amazing - This was an amazing place. We booked a room & got a whole house! The views across to Noosa were fantastic. The bedroom was spacious with panoramic views. Upscale bathroom. Breakfasts to die for - nothing was too much trouble. Kookaburras waiting for your bacon scraps!!! Only disappointment was the pool was too cool to swim. So if you want to swim go in the summer months. I have to say this did not spoil our stay.
• Olivia (10/5): Hear the Serenity! - The room is just like the picture advertising the retreat. Clean. modern and comfortable. The staff made you feel very welcome the moment you walked up to the front door, showed us around and told us when breakfast would be served in the morning. Hear the serenity! it was so very quiet and the view magnificent, just the ticket for a couple who just wants to relax for the weekend. Complimentary tea and coffee of a very high standard is set up in your room with water, soft drinks available in the bar fridge, also complimentary. The bathroom was modern, clean with beautiful fresh towel with toiletries available if needed.
• Norman (10/5): Lovely B&B near Noosa - Really great house with fantastic views over the area. The place was very stylish and the service particularly the breakfast was great.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect couple retreat - My partner and I were able to fully relax and enjoy our weekend away thanks to Alexandria Retreat. We felt right at home and unconstrained by the usual rules that you are usually faced in a hotel. The view was inspiring from our "pool room" and the peace and quite was exactly what we needed. I really enjoyed the joint breakfast with the other two guests, not only was the food tasty, plentiful and presented with restaurant quality but it was nice to be able to share the wonderful view and conversation.
