Lots of space, great little kitchen and comfy for everyone.Posted on Google Daisy BraidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantasic space for a bridal shower. Had everything we needed!Posted on Google anna mclachlanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented AYU for 2 days of different professional workshops (health sector). The space is super warm and welcoming with lots of options to move around the different areas. We had so many comments from participants about the beautiful energy and design. Beautiful open kitchen area fully equipped to heat lunches or prepare provided spreads. But cafes are also close enough to whip across for bought food or drinks. Queens Gardens provided a lovely picnic spot for others. Dealing with the owner was smooth and worry-free. Access easy to meet our needs with equipment to bring in/out. Very affordable too. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Laura KellerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love everything about Ayu! The course content is fantastic and next level wisdom taught clearly and without ego. The events are inspiring, nourishing and accessible, and as someone who feels the cold I always end up having to take off my layers as it’s so warm and cosy. Everything is so clean and high-quality, yet also so relaxing - it is a safe place to visit and has given a lot of value to my life. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Angela Dempster-PassangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A beautiful and well equipped space to hold a lady bath ( a baby shower where you celebrate the mums and their support network). Lots of great options for us to set up for our painting and massage sessions and really great communication from the AYU crew :)Posted on Google Catherine HostedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great meeting space, beautifully decorated, warm and comfortable.Posted on Google Grant RamsayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our life drawing group used A Y U for several sessions. It's a lovely modern space, with great natural light and ambience. The manager, Jasmin, was lovely to deal with. Would highly recommend as a venue for events that require a modern space with good vibes!Posted on Google Nicole Bezemer
