Alaya Verde is a boutique retreat sanctuary set within 42 acres of protected native forest in the heart of Tewantin National Park on Australia’s Sunshine Coast. Not a resort, not a hotel, but a secluded hinterland haven of renewal, stewarded by the same family since 1995.
More than a traditional bed and breakfast, Alaya Verde is where to reconnect with what matters most. Relax into the grounded luxury of our pavilion suites, experience the iconic wildlife native to our subtropical land, and enjoy fresh organic produce from our own orchard.
Our adults-only suites are designed to offer privacy, comfort, and a true sense of wellbeing, each pavilion underpinned by our hallmark grounded luxury.
Soak beneath the stars in your own private outdoor jetted bath, surrounded by subtropical gardens and complete tranquillity.

Alaya Verde’s 42 acres of subtropical forest nestle in the heart of the Noosa Hinterland and as our guest we invite you to take time out and relax into our beautiful land. What we gather from our fruiting trees and organic gardens meanwhile finds its way to your breakfast table.
Alaya Verde is perfectly located for exploring the best of both worlds: the protected peace, tranquility, and natural beauty of Queensland’s Tewantin National Park together with the coastal lakes, upper Noosa river, and the Sunshine Coast beaches.
Some of Australia’s most iconic wild animals and birds make Alaya Verde their home, including kangaroos, koalas, parakeets, peacocks, and kingfishers. Watch them up close from your private pavilion and then, when night falls, turn your gaze skywards to take in the moon and stars.
Breakfast at Alaya Verde is organic, seasonal, and features what we harvest from our own regenerated land, including our 35 species of fruiting trees. Other fresh ingredients are sourced locally, and all our nourishing meals are prepared to order and served to you with pride.

Alaya Verde Hosts + Owners
Alaya Verde is perfectly located for exploring the best of both worlds: the protected peace, tranquility, and natural beauty of Queensland’s Tewantin National Park. We are located at the base of the Great Sandy National Park area, a mere 25 minutes’ drive from Noosa Heads and Hastings Street shopping.
A piece of paradise, truly timeless. The place is incredible: a beautiful and welcoming house in the heart of nature, with kangaroos wandering through the garden right in front of your room. The owners are lovely people, very friendly, welcoming, and dedicated to making your stay special. Thank you for this amazing experience. I’ll definitely come back!
Sublime location, a hidden retreat surrounded by the local flora and fauna that come to visit. The hosts made us feel so welcome, with a relaxing drink upon arrival. The service and accommodation are outstanding. I only wish we could have enjoyed it a little longer.
This is hands down the best retreat I’ve been too. The owners are beautiful people. I highly, highly recommend having a stay here. Escape that city life we all suffer in – you will not know yourself when you leave. We will be back for sure!
The entire complex is one of the most beautiful accommodations we have ever visited. The rooms and the entire complex are lovingly and beautifully decorated. Gina and Duncan are excellent hosts. They have created a dream accommodation in the middle of the jungle. You can relax and enjoy yourself with cockatoos and kangaroos. The dinner they prepared for us was a poem!
Our three-night stay at Alaya Verde was absolutely fabulous. This place is outstanding in every detail. Fully-hosted B&Bs just don’t get any better and their unique forest location creates a very, very special secluded atmosphere. What makes Alaya Verde so special is the hosts, Duncan and Gina. We can’t speak highly enough of them and, from experience, appreciate the input required to make this such a special stay.
Duncan and Gina were very welcoming. We received a lovely welcome drink and they showed us our lovely room. Duncan is quite the cook and the coffee was awesome. The styling was very lovely and relaxing. We saw lots of bird life and a kangaroo with a joey paid a visit too. Thank you – everything was perfect.
We love welcoming our Alaya Verde guests personally, and when you book direct with us we can ensure your stay is perfectly tailored just for you – right from the start.
