“My friend and I visited Noonaweena for a pilates retreat organised by a third party (Ajility Pilates Retreats). We did not know what to expect but had booked a package with accommodation, food and activities included. From the moment we set foot on the grounds we were so impressed with the space. From outdoor areas to bedrooms to kitchen the whole place is immaculately well kept. There are not enough words to summarise what an exceptional service Adam and his team provided us with. Adam is a man of many talents , doubling up as our chef for the weekend – The food was the perfect balance between home cooked meals and feeling spoilt. The entire experience was amazing. Special shout out to Mel + Jackie along with the rest of the managers and team. If you do stay please do ask Adam to share his story with you as his history with the property is quite amazing. Adam – I can’t thank you enough , your wonderful team are a direct reflection on the type of manager, host and amazing human you are. Caoimhe and I cannot wait to come back sooner rather than later!”

“I ran a Pilates Retreat at Noonaweena last weekend. What an amazing weekend! Guests absolutely the loved the food, the venue, the amenities and the wildlife. We were well looked after by the team. For me, as a retreat organiser, this is one of the most important aspects of a successful retreat. It was a seamless retreat and I'm currently booking the next date to return. Thank you Noonaweena team. See you next time”

“Our bound and bloom book retreat could not come to a close without acknowledging this top fella!!! ADAM!! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Noonaweena for book retreat, & 5 stars is just not enough to reflect on the exceptional service delivered throughout the weekend to cater for a large group of book girlies. It is extremely evident that Noonaweena is Adams pride and joy. No request over the weekend was too big or too small for Adam and the staff. All the book girlies were well taken care and made to feel super special. I will definitely be returning to this meaningful special place. Well done Adam and team!! Your little Lemon Myrtle Girl”

“We’ve had the pleasure of Glamping at Noonaweena four times in the last 12 months, and every visit has exceeded our expectations. The setting is absolutely magical—peaceful, and surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The glamping bell tent is stunning and whimsically decorated, offering all the comfort you need without sacrificing the charm of being close to nature. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, whether you're cooking up a family feast or a romantic dinner for two (we have had both types of stays!). It’s the perfect mix of convenience and outdoor charm. High end toiletries, robes and slippers add to the luxury feel. The kids loved the space to play and explore, and the outdoor fire pit was a big hit with the whole family. We spent hours gathered around it, roasting marshmallows and enjoying the warmth of the fire. Having visited across 3 seasons (Autumn, Spring and Summer) and in both rainy and sunny conditions we found that it’s a versatile enough space that weather has little impact. When it rained, we enjoyed sitting under the vast undercover kitchen/dining space playing games. This unique space is one of the reasons we keep coming back. We also had the chance to enjoy some amazing bonus facilities (when available) during some our stays. The hot tub and pool were such a treat—perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure or just unwinding under the stars. What truly makes Noonaweena shine, though, is the incredible hospitality from hosts Adam, Sean, and Brie. They are warm, welcoming, and go above and beyond to ensure that every part of your stay is special. From entertaining the kids to ensuring we had everything we needed, they make it clear that they care about making your time there unforgettable. We are already planning our next visit!”

“Staying at Noonaweena Lodge was an absolutely beautiful experience. From the moment we arrived, Adam and his incredible team made us feel genuinely welcome — not just as guests, but as part of a warm, thoughtful community. Leading up to our stay, Sean and Adam were extremely patient and open to allowing flexibility to accommodate our large family. They took care, and meticulously arranged everything to suit our families needs making sure we were truley happy. The level of care and attention to detail throughout the property is outstanding. Every space is immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and clearly designed with comfort and intention in mind. The facilities are excellent, serene, and perfectly set up to help you relax and reconnect. What truly sets Noonaweena apart, though, is the people. Adam and his team bring such warmth, friendliness, and authenticity to everything they do. They create real connections with visitors, making everyone feel seen, supported, and at ease. That human touch elevates the entire experience and stays with you long after you leave. I couldn’t recommend Noonaweena Lodge more highly — it’s a special place run by truly special people. Thank you Adam, Sean and Brie”

“We have just spent a weekend with a group of friends in Biram Lodge. Our experience was exceptional. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the incredibly well-equipped kitchen to the comfy cozy loungeroom exceeded expectations. The weather was a little damp but this in no way hindered our enjoyment. We walked, had fires and loved the sauna, spa and pool, all in equal measure. Sean was available for any questions we had and ensured our stay ran smoothly. A wonderful place to stay. We highly recommend a staying here.”
