Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat

The atmosphere is serene & peaceful surrounded by nature. Perfect place to relax & unwind feeding the beautiful bird life. Villas are cosy and equipped with wonderful breakfast hampers with local produce not to mention the fresh hot crossaints delivered to you each morning. A nice touch from the wonderful hosts Ali & Xochi. Thank you once again for the wonderful experience.

An amazing experience - perfect for a couple’s getaway and such attention to detail. We walked in to a beautiful unit, with ambient lighting and music. Flowers, chocolate, water by the bed and so much more. And there’s so much to do in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful rainforest surroundings, relaxing vibes, and every detail thought of. The very generous breakfast supplies and fresh daily croissants were very much appreciated! Great location for exploring the Monteville and Maleny areas.

Narrows escape will always have a special place in our hearts. My partner and I got engaged there , Xochi and Ali helped set up a beautiful surprise for my partner with champagne candles and rose petals. We also had a dinner hamper and massages which were amazing. Everything about the cabin was so charming. One of the best experiences ever.

We wanted a private, relaxing place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We are frequent visitors to the region and were looking to try somewhere new and Narrows Escape didn’t disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights in the Black Cockatoo Villa with its completely private plunge pool which is under roof. The ability to be under cover, in a pool heated to 34 degrees, staring at the surrounding rainforest even while the after effects of ex TC Alfred was lingering around was truly relaxing and just the ticket. The kitchen/bathroom amenities are stylish and well equipped and the internet connection is great for logging into your favourite streaming services on the TV. We took our own supplies for dinner and along with the fruit basket, breakfast hamper and fresh, warm croissants that are discreetly delivered daily, there is truly no reason to leave. Thank you Ali and Xochi for a relaxing getaway.

Our experience at Narrows Escape was nothing short of extraordinary. Having visited before and aware of the countless prestigious awards the retreat has received, our expectations were high. However, Narrows Escape went above and beyond, surpassing them in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were transported to a serene paradise. Everything we needed for a luxurious retreat was thoughtfully provided. The special touches were countless: espresso martinis, quality breakfast ingredients, a fruit basket, homemade jams and biscuits, a decanter of port with crystal glasses, fresh flowers, candles, firewood ready to go, and our very own private plunge pool. The lovely host, Xochi, made our stay even more memorable by helping us celebrate at the world-class restaurant Spirit House, organizing a driver to take us there and bring us back. As we drove away from Narrows Escape, we felt recalibrated and joyful. We have visited many fabulous retreats around the world, and Narrows Escape is truly on par with the best of them.
