Ana Mandara Luxury Retreat

This small bed and breakfast is perfect. Gorgeous location on the Hastings River, our room was exactly as pictures depicted, clean, large and lovely bathroom. All the details of a lovely stay have been attended to and the icing on the cake is a lovely, home cooked breakfast. The philosophy here is, “The answer is yes, what’s the question.” Any discerning traveler to Ana Mindara will be impressed.

If you are looking for somewhere that gives customer service that is personalised and offers a memorable experience you won't get at your usual 5 star resort then this is the place for you. Leo is an amazing host, fantastic chef and really knows how to look after his guests from the minute you arrive. There's no menu at this resort because Leo customises his offerings to your taste. Looking for a seafood selection, steak, chicken, duck or maybe something vegetarian, he will prepare exactly what you like, whatever cuisine that might be. Dietary requirements are not a problem. The rooms are large, modern, very clean and well maintained. All rooms have a lovely view. The beds are as you would expect in a luxury resort giving you a cloud nine experience. The rooms have additional items you don't automatically get in most 5 star resorts which was a wow factor for me. Shaving kit and toothbrush, make-up remover are all there ready, just incase you forget. The highlight for me was the 3 course breakfast sat on the deck with the wonderful view. Leo is also a wonderful conversationalist and we enjoyed chatting to him during our stay. With only 4 rooms and adults only this really is the perfect escape to wind down. It's also nice to support a small business. Highly recommended and no surprise Leo receives great reviews.

A great accomodation and a lovely host. The location is perfect, and the setting is ideal. We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay at Ana Mandara; it was just a one-night stay as we were driving from Sydney to Brisbane, but it was perfect. Leo, the host, was very accomodating and is also an excellent chef!

5 star B&B This place is spotlessly clean, in a great location on the water and a short drive to the town centre. Our host Leo was unobtrusive who cooked and served us a delicious breakfast. I can’t think of any ways to improve our stay. This is one of the best b&b’s you’ll ever stay in.
