Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat

The stay was amazing, the hosts were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Quiet, serene and couples only retreat. We really enjoyed all the food extras, the private pool and everything included in the clean and secure villa. Thank you to the owners

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.

This property advertises itself as luxury, which I’m not sure I agree with. It’s not five star in terms of facilities or service. However, it has an overall charm about it that makes for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We stayed in Rosella for 2 nights which is one of the rainforest rooms, so we didn’t get a plunge pool. But the villa is large and very well equipped. The owners are very welcoming and have tried to think of everything to make your stay comfortable. We bbq’d both nights, as after eating out for the last 2 weeks it was nice just to be able to eat what and when we wanted. We purchased the bbq pack from the hotel on the first night, which was reasonable value. We saw quite a bit of wildlife from our rear deck, an iguana, cockatoos and 2 possums. To sit on your deck in the evening and have a possum come down and eat the bird food right in front of you is amazing. Overall I recommend this hotel and would have no hesitation in returning.

Hubby & I just spent 2 amazing nights here in their Cockatoo Villa. From Checkin to check out the staff were absolutely wonderful. Our Villa was absolute heaven! Kitchen had everything you need, super comfy bed, bathroom large and luxurious, deck was wonderful and heated plunge pool just perfect. We got the BBQ hamper one night. It was fabulous and well worth the money. The warm croissants each morning we delicious, and the breakfast hamper had everything you could want. Wifi works pretty well too. It’s the perfect place to just relax. Will 100% come back and stay. Fireplace was warm and cosy

We spent the Easter weekend with our daughter and son-in-law in the Black Cockatoo and White Cockatoo villas and had a wonderful time. Narrows Escape is the most charming place owned and operated by the most charming family. From beginning to end they were endlessly helpful, welcoming us at 11.30 at night (after a delayed flight) with hot casseroles, including a gluten free option, for our dinner and farewelling us with jumper leads to kick start the flat battery in our car! Such generous and genuine hospitality is hard to find! Each morning we woke up to the calls of the whip bird with the sun pecking through the forest surrounding us in all directions, and fresh buttery croissants (gluten free muffins for our daughter) in their padded bags waiting for us on the hook outside our villa. Then a dip in our deliciously warm pool before meeting up with our daughter and son-in-law to explore the nearby national parks and villages. When we weren't enjoying excellent food at the nearby Long Apron restaurant, we fired up the bbq and all sat on our spacious verandah with a glass of wine, a few beers and either the excellent BBQ pack, with the best gluten free brownies, provided by our hosts or cooked for ourselves in the well equipped kitchen. Thank you so much for all your care and attention.

Such a beautiful stay! Amazing accomodation and stunning outlook. We loved spending time in the undercover pool while watching the rain... the bed was super comfy and we had everything we needed to stay in house for the duration of our stay. Dining options were fantastic and huge servings. Also loved the breakfast hamper! Ali and Xochi were so accommodating with the need for gluten free as my hubby is coeliac. Can’t wait to return!
