I'm so glad that we got to meet Stewart and Nicole in person before we left their amazing retreat on Xmas Eve. By far, this is one of the most welcoming, unique, charming, relaxing and homely stays that we have had stayed at. After a 7hr drive with 2 kids and a dog, arriving at Aphid's retreat was like coming "home". Together with the soothing music, gorgeous amenities, stunning decor and the spell binding natural landscape Stewart and Nicole have created one of the most "liveable" hideaways a traveller could ask for... with outstanding hospitality (and delicious food incl. home baked bread!) as icing on the cake. We will definitely be back on our next drive to Byron and were sad that we were only there for 1 night. Thanks for having us and see you both again soon!
