This was a lovely stay and every bit the rainforest sanctuary it’s shown to be! Dani was warm and so welcoming into her place, which shone through even from the very first time we received her prompt ...message back after making the booking. The location itself is spacious, green, natury (of course), and so colourful which made our home for two nights a really inviting one. The beautiful alpacas (Honey and Jimmy) on the premises also gave life to the place. Dani’s qigong and sound healing experience is highly recommended too. She did a great job guiding us through it. Overall, we really fell in love during our stay, truly. What a beautiful place to have while really immersing in all the nature around. We thank Dani and wish her the very best. :)

Relaxation at its finest. Private, cosy, and comfortable. My husband and I stayed two nights to simply take some time out, away from our usual busy lifestyle. Dani’s accomodation was perfect and exact...ly as pictured. The alpacas brightened our mornings coming to say hello with their cute little faces! Have already recommended to our family 💗

Hey there, I'm Dani and I would like to welcome you to my little pocket of Paradise. It is a little hidden gem, blessed with beauty, wildlife and the natural wonders of nature. The studio space has a good history with many beautiful stories to tell. It has an aliveness about it, filled with good energy and a heart all of its own. During the week I use this space as my healing studio, offering clients massage, lightwork healings, kinesiology, sound journeys and classes in qigong. The space is so lovely and unique, I now offer it for stays for people to relax, restore and connect and to enjoy the nourishing and rejuvenating qualities of nature. This space is ideal for a solo retreat to connect with self or a perfect space to spend time with someone you love, be it a partner, friend or family. It holds a special place in my heart and hope it will for you too. I am a genuine, happy person who will be respectful of your space. I live on the same property with my family and a friendly dog. The rainforest sanctuary is separate and unseen from the house so it is quiet and private. You can also turn your stay into your own private retreat experience. I can offer treatments if booked in advance. Check out my website www.inasoulhealing.com.au for a list of offerings and to make your stay that extra bit special.
