We just stayed at The Wayback this last weekend. We have family in Hill Country and wanted to be nearby while still having close proximity to Austin's downtown area. We will absolutely stay at The Wayback for all future visits. We stayed in cottage #7. The cottage was pristine, the walk-in shower was large and there were plenty of towels and washcloths. We loved the ambience and coziness of the cottage as well as the staff's wonderful service. We didn't have a chance to eat at the cafe but we took a breakfast sandwich to go and some coffee and they were wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and well manicured and the overall feeling of the property is really beautiful. We were only 10-15 min from the main part of Austin and also within 10-15 min of wineries, breweries, great restaurants and beautiful drives.

Beautiful rooms. Decor and style was impeccable, beds and sheets were extremely comfortably. We really enjoyed the secluded aspect. Would definitely stay again if we were ever back in the Austin area!

One of the standout features of The Wayback is their commitment to providing a unique and personalized experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was tailored to my preferences. Overall: Charming cottages, impeccable service, and divine coffee made it a perfect escape. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden oasis to anyone looking for a unique and enriching stay in Austin, TX. I can't wait to return and indulge in the warmth and hospitality once again.Noteworthy details: The attention to detail in the decor showcased a thoughtful blend of Texas charm and contemporary elegance.

The Wayback Cafe and Cottages will always hold a special place in our hearts. I stumbled upon this little boutique hotel nestled in the Austin Hill Country when looking for a non-traditional location for our upcoming wedding, and immediately fell in love with the charming and intimate setting. It was the perfect place to host a romantic wedding weekend with our closest friends and family. We rented out the grounds for the weekend, our wedding party filling up all eight on-site cottages, for a getaway we’ll never forget.Not to mention the owners & staff! Sydney is sincere, responsive, flexible, and all-around incredible to work with. As a “destination bride” she was a huge resource and guide, connecting me to an amazing local planner and nearby churches for our ceremony. Sydney, Matthew, and Chef went above and beyond curating a cocktail and dinner menu that showcased our tastes and my husband’s Columbian heritage, even crafting a custom affogato dessert that I’m still dreaming of to this day. Little touches like a welcome note and bouquet in our cottage wishing us a lovely wedding weekend and umbrellas outside our rooms should rain come our way, did not go unnoticed, and had us feeling like family by the end of our stay. We will forever be grateful for the Wayback team for ensuring we have the very best day!

I haven’t had the opportunity to stay in one of the Wayback cabins mainly because I live just minutes away. I might if they allowed doggies ?Although, I look for every opportunity otherwise. The food and service are fabulous, as well as the setting, it’s one of those places you want to take a book and sit for hours. I’ve just recently taken a watercolor class and it made the start of the holiday season truly enjoyable. The Wayback is a tucked away treasure you won’t want to miss.Food & drinks: AmazingNoteworthy details: Fabulous setting, and attention to detail. Calm and relaxing.

We ate at the restaurant and it was outstanding!! Matt was so helpful! We were lost and he talked us in and went so far as to wave a flashlight to guide us into the parki g lot!!! He is amazing!

We love the quality of food and ambiance. I do wish toast came with breakfast, not a plethora, just a piece. The server was not greatest.

As a Event Rental Vendor, I absolutely love The Wayback. We have had many clients who have hosted their Weddings & Events at this beautiful venue/property. From the aesthetics to the service, everything is top tier! Monarch Event Rentals highly recommends :)
