GROUNDED LUXURY IN THE NOOSA HINTERLAND
A place to remember what matters
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.
‘When we came to the Noosa Hinterland in 1995, our vision was to create a space to slow down and live at a more natural pace. By protecting and gently regenerating the land, our vision has slowly evolved into a luxurious haven of peace – a tranquil space for reflection, creativity, and connection.’

A living relationship with the land
Time to reflect and reconnect
More than a traditional bed and breakfast, Alaya Verde is where to reconnect with what matters most. Relax into the grounded luxury of our two pavilions, experience the iconic wildlife native to our subtropical land, and enjoy fresh organic produce from our own orchard.
WILDLIFE CUSTODIANS
Immersed in nature
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.
organic and seasonal
Fresh from our land
Breakfast at Alaya Verde is organic, seasonal, and features what we harvest from our own regenerated land, including our 35 species of fruiting tree. Other fresh ingredients are sourced locally, and all our nourishing meals are prepared to order and served to you with pride.
more to explore
Close to the coast
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 and – just 11kms and a 25-minute drive away – the coastal lakes, upper Noosa river, and the Sunshine Coast beaches.
The Alaya Verde Experience
Somewhere you can breathe
Nestled within Alaya Verde’s subtropical gardens and forest, our two adults-only en-suite pavilions are thoughtfully designed to offer privacy, comfort, relaxation, and a deep connection with nature. Each brings its own unique character, underpinned by our hallmark grounded luxury and sense of wellbeing. Perfect for both couples and solo travellers, for romantic getaways, celebrations, or simply time to reset, restore, and explore. All Alaya Verde guests enjoy complimentary access to our shared living space, a light-filled pavilion featuring a gourmet kitchen, communal dining, and the warmth of a wood fire. Please review the Noosa Council’s Code of Conduct Home hosted accommodation.

Nourishing organic breakfast

42 acres of native forest to explore

Welcoming guests since 1995
Meet your hosts
We are Duncan Hogg and Gina Carruthers, a husband-and-wife team who settled in the Noosa Hinterland in 1995, drawn by the natural beauty, space and quiet of this remarkable part of Queensland.
Set within 42 acres of protected subtropical forest, Alaya Verde grew from our desire to create a beautiful home that feels deeply connected to its surroundings – peaceful, private, and wonderfully removed from the busyness of everyday life.
Today – along with our dog Mira – we share that home with our guests. With just two guest suites, Alaya Verde remains deliberately intimate. There is space to slow down, enjoy the forest, linger over breakfast, relax by the pool, or simply appreciate having nowhere you need to be.
For us, genuine hospitality is about more than providing a beautiful room. We want Alaya Verde to feel relaxed and personal, somewhere you can settle in, feel at home, and experience a quieter side of the Noosa Hinterland.
Alaya Verde is also home to our sister business, Health in Perspective, which offers dedicated wellbeing retreats separately from our B&B stays.
