The location in the Noosa hinterland was fabulous. You wake up in the morning with glorious views towards Noosa and Coolum. Paul was an exceptional host and one of the highlights was his breakfast. We will come back for sure.

Zoran Australia

From the moment we arrived at the property we were over awed at the beauty of the location and surrounding country side and the exquisite presentation of the interior of the residence. The amazing uninterrupted views from every angle from the residence looking down across the hills to the coast was superb. Our room was impressive with very comfortable beds and little details taken care of. The location of the property was easily accessible to short trips to surrounding towns such as Noosa Heads and Cooroy. Our hosts Paul and John were very hospitable, full of cheer, kind and attentive and served breakfasts that were a work of art and delicious. Every aspect of our two nights stay was so wonderful and relaxing. This property is of exceptional high standard.

I built Alexandria Retreat in 2002, always with the intention of operating a prestigious Bed & Breakfast business and providing the highest standards of quality and service to clients. We are positioned high with expansive views east to the coast.
I moved from UK in 2001 where I ran a very successful international ferry operation between UK, France, Spain and Ireland providing first class accommodation, holiday packages and top international cuisine. I have a son and 2 grandchildren in UK.
