Awakening Alchemy Retreat Centre

Pros: The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding and delicious. Everything was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and the whole place felt so warm and cozy. I’d highly recommend staying here!

A lovely spot in beautiful surroundings with a welcoming and serene feel to it.

Pros: A delightful small B\u0026B with delicious breakfast and fascinating hosts who really know how to look after their guests. Dan and Tomaz - thank you so much for the warm welcome and genuine hospitality.

A wonderful place to decompress after travelling halfway around the world from New Zealand.

Pros: The character building is beautiful as you can see online. The gardens are meandering and full of surprises. The carefully selected pieces of furniture, silverware and quirky loved items around the property reflect the passion and pride of Dan and Thomas who operate an outstanding experience for their guests. The Regal Rise Breakfast was a supreme offering ... we thoroughly recommend you indulge in this visual and taste sensation. Thank you so much Dan and Thomas

Cons: That we were only there for one night!!!

The ideal location for a restful break.

Pros: A beautiful home in a beautiful setting. It was so peaceful. Ideal place to recharge the battery! We also loved our breakfast, with delicious homemade bread and homemade organic yoghurt. A big thank you to our hosts who were very welcoming.

Cons: Having an en-suite would have been great, although we were very lucky to be the only one on our floor so we didn’t need to share bathroom

Pros: Beautiful place and location lovely hosts gorgeous comfortable room lovely breakfast , will defiantly be back

Cons: There is absolutely nothing to dislike

A Beautiful Experience

Pros: Loved the peace and serenity in beautiful surroundings. Could not have wished for better hosts. Two of the loveliest, most helpful people you could wish to meet. Breakfast was perfectly prepared for us each morning of our stay. Our room was cosy, beds very comfortable. Views from our room amazing. Garden, a tranquil oasis where nature flourishes. The experience refreshed my soul and I would have no hesitation in returning for more. I really didn't want to leave and wished that Thomaz and Dan would adopt me!

Cons: There wasn't anything I didn't like.

I already know I’ll be coming back!

Pros: Tomaz and Dan are truly wonderful hosts — warm, genuine, and full of heart. Their home is beautifully decorated with unique, artistic touches that instantly make you feel calm and at peace. Every corner reflects their care and creativity — they even name their lovingly restored furniture, like Nightingale and Ludwig, adding a personal charm that’s hard to forget. We also experienced a short crystal bowl sound bath — something completely new to me. It was peaceful, grounding, and deeply memorable. Dan generously shared stories from his fascinating life, making us feel like we were chatting with an old friend. Breakfast was another highlight: homemade yoghurt, fresh-baked bread, and butter served in an adorable shape — all made with love. I might be revealing too much, but this was truly an unforgettable experience — the perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Pros: Dan made us feel very welcome. Lovely location, quiet and a room with lovely views. Breakfast was nice with home made bread.

Highly recommend staying at the Awakening Alchemy Retreat Centre!

Pros: Awakening Alchemy Retreat Centre was a gorgeous place to stay, and Dan and Thomas couldn't have been better hosts - we felt very spoiled. We hope to stay again, and have already recommended it to others!

Pros: We were treated royally, literally. Daniel and Tomasz were kind, gentle and respectful to our needs. The Centre is beautifully decorated with attention to detail and surrounded by an extensive garden. We even had access to the meditation room. The breakfast was delicious with elegant dinnerware. We wish we had more time to stay there.
