Questions of the users

About Maya Sanctuary

Are the queen or king rooms in the guesthouse equipped with their own kitchen and spa facilities?

15 November 2024

Rooms in the guesthouse provide shared access to the kitchen, lounge, and a spa on the verandah. For private amenities, consider the Spa Cottages or Artist's Cottage, which include their own kitchenettes and spas.

When it is mentioned that there is no internet service, does that mean only the lack of Wi-Fi? Is the mobile phone signal strong?

20 April 2024

The note about no internet refers specifically to the absence of Wi-Fi. However, mobile phone reception is generally robust across the property, ensuring connectivity for most carriers.

Is the Artist's Lodge situated in a private, secluded area, or are there other cottages nearby?

5 March 2024

The Artist's Lodge is located in a secluded area, isolated from other cottages and offers pleasant views of the creek for added tranquility.

Does the property offer any room service, or is there a nearby restaurant that guests can visit?

30 September 2024

While room service is not available, several recommended restaurants are in close proximity. Guests can explore the 'local services' section on the website for dining options.

If a previous visitor wants to return, is it possible to request specific accommodation such as a certain cabin?

10 July 2024

Returning guests can make specific requests regarding cabin selection, and the team typically strives to accommodate these preferences whenever possible.

Are the cabins designed for privacy, or do they share common walls or areas with other guests?

12 June 2024

How can a guest opt for a larger king-size bed instead of a queen when booking?

25 May 2024

All cottages are equipped with queen beds, while the larger Illowra House provides options for both king and queen beds, which can be selected during the booking process.

Do the one-bedroom spa cottages come with their own outdoor hot tub, or is there just a spa bath inside?

14 August 2024

Each one-bedroom spa cottage features a private outdoor hot tub on the front deck, providing a relaxing experience with stunning views.

Is it advisable to plan grocery shopping before arriving, given the distance from stores?
