February 2007
"We arrived about 40% and left 110% - Solubrious!" - Che & Angie Stitt

April 2006
"The beauty and soul of the Moondance oasis and your wonderful team was too much to resist - we cancelled our plans, to stay even longer!  Our bodies, mind and energy now nourished, we must return home - we'll be back." - Karl & Bianca Valmorbida

July 2005
"Thank you Brugh Joy for such a deep and enriching heart-centered weekend. You are one of the few who can really listen." - Shelly Cullen


May 2005
"I particularly enjoyed the beautiful fragrance in the room, the bird song on arrival and the superb quality of the fittings and obvious amount of thought that has gone into the design of the buildings and their interiors. Relaxing out on the day bed on Sunday, reading the papers and listening to the Kookaburras was just wonderful. Breakfast was also delightful and I was particularly fond of Saul's Eggs Benedict, with their wicked hollandaise sauce. Please thank all the staff that looked after us and made us feel so welcome".
- Frances Jones, Perth, Western Australia

March 2005
"In addition to the service we received, we commend you on the wonderful food and the layout, presentation and attention to detail of the lodge. The rooms are magnificently appointed and make any stay a comfortable and relaxing experience".
- John & Rosemary Harding, WA, Australia

Jan 2005

"I could touch the nature and healed thoroughly. I'm sure this was one of the most great moments I've ever had in my life!"
- Akari Matsuura, Editor, Figaro Magazine, Japan.

Dec 2004
"Being a Scuba Diver for over 8 years and qualified up to Rescue Diver level, I am very interested in deep and technical dives rather than just the usual recreational dives offered by dive shops around Asia. Thus I was very impressed when offered the prospect of a wreck dive off the coast of South western Australia at just over 30 meters deep. The two dives were my first in Australia and a great introduction to diving in the country. Bay Dive caters for all levels of experience and I would highly recommend that any diver who visits Moondance Lodge should experience a dive with this particular dive shop."
- Chris Davies, Hong Kong

"At Vasse Felix we are right behind Moondance in your endeavours to provide a very professional approach and exceeding the needs of visitors to Margaret River, but at the same time offering a very personal experience. I look forward to being involved in developing upon what we have."
- Michael Whyte, Vasse Felix Winery, WA

Nov 2004

"The ambience created by the surroundings and the attentiveness of Moondance personnel led to the group being relaxed, but focused on the objectives of the meeting and the results from this meeting far exceeded our expectations and previous annual sales conferences. "

"Without a doubt the food experience is as good as it gets with tasty, varietal menus but light enough not to put people to sleep."
- John Taylor, General Manager, Akzo Nobel Surfactants Asia, Singapore

Spring into Summer Wellness Retreat -

"The wellness retreat exceeded my expectations. The staff were so polite and nothing was too much trouble. The exercise program set by Amanda was exactly what I needed. I also got a lot out of the meditation sessions. Thank you all!"
- Brian Lee, Mount Pleasant, WA

Aug 2004

"Thank you for everything, the attention to detail is really very impressive for a property that is only recently started to take guests.

It is so refreshing to see this wonderful part of Western Australia being developed to provide not just a high quality of accommodation but a mix of functions to suit corporate activities as well as special interest groups and individual leisure markets.

It is very evident that you have a background in the events industry and a true understanding of commercial hospitality.

I wish you every success with your opening this week and every success for your first year in operation. I'm sure that Vicki and I will stay with you again at some time in the future."
- Mark Langdon, Perth, Australia
