Very spacious. Breakfast good, liked that it was something different each day and it arrived between 8:30 and 9. Restaurant was excellent. Great location and very quiet and peaceful.

Worst thing was not having a blind to pull down over the high windows so it was very light from dawn and difficult to sleep. Eye masks not sufficient. Given how big the tree house is, the design could have provided a bigger vanity in the bathroom. Some areas of the treehouse are run down with things like rotting wood on the doors.

This place is absolutely beautiful!! The room felt luxurious and sits in the middle of the rainforest. The staff are absolutely wonderful! They are so helpful, friendly and nothing is any trouble. We've stayed at 3 places on the mountain now and this is our favourite!

The breakfast delivered in a basket each morning is a sweet treat to wake up to. My only wish would be to have a choice of a breakfast menu . Although food was nice, and ample, not everyone eats avo on toast etc, maybe just have it on the side, with other choices for topping maybe. Or set a menu for people to choose from before arrival even, as the chef makes it all fresh. But honestly, this is just a little negative. We'd stay again in a heart beat! Loved the place!

Loved the view, spacious room. Bed comfortable. Enjoyed the quiet as it was almost deafening. Breakfast was delicious each morning. Photos are exactly what is there. Some bath salts would have been lovely for the tub. A QR code with how to use the tv and that the stair lights don’t turn off due to safety feature would be helpful. Thanks to the maintenance fellow who assisted us with the hose to clean the bird and tree debris of the car on our 2nd morning. You made us laugh, clearly you enjoy your job. When staying on nights when the restaurant isn’t open on site, make bookings in town. The Baileys Irish Pub could not accomodate 2 people at 6pm on our first 2 nights. They on,y cook 20 meals in a 2 hour slot. They saved us a fortune by refusing us twice. Night 1 pizza from the Italian Pizza shop across the road, The Codfather was dinner night 2. The grilled cod cooked to perfection. Japanese at Leaf night 3.

Great location with beautiful forest surrounds. The cabins are very spacious and a good distance away from each other. Will definitely return again. We also ate at the restaurant, the food was delicious, highly recommend. The fire in the restaurant was a nice touch as it was cold when we were there! Fyi - The continental breakfast included was day 1 - Avocado on toast + pastries, day 2 - Bagel with cream cheese + yoghurt & muesli, day 3 - Ham & cheese croissant + yoghurt & muesli. Coffee is coffee bags fyi. We went to Picnic cafe for morning coffee.

What a hidden gem in Mt Tambourine! We absolutely enjoyed it during our 3 night stay. The staff are friendly and the breakfast is freshly made and delicious. We are in cabin 5, it's a bit of a walking distance from reception compared to other cabins, we need to walk quite a few steps down hill to get the cabin, but it's all flat , the location of the cabin is private and the room is amazingly spacious and clean. We love to sit at the table at the veranda in the morning , while we have breakfast and listen to the birds singing, can also hear the background sound of running the creek . Thank you for the unforgettable memories of our staying.

Unfortunately we could not dine at resort restaurants, as they only open on the weekends. Otherwise it will be a perfect holiday. I guess it gives us another opportunity to visit next time.

Big windows with a rainforest view, very calming. Big ceilings. Spa with a view. Comfortable bed. Great internal design. Spaceous. Very private away from other villas. Lovely fireplace. Very beautiful restaurant. Great location close to the cafes. Amazing touch with breakfast baskets. Very lovely. Every thing was well tought of. Nice touch with tea selection as well as welcome wine bottle and chocolate. We had an incredible time.

Breakfast granola tasted a little old/rancid one time. The blanket on the cauch should be washed, had a funny smell. Could use a charging electricity plug next to beds.😊 This are small negligible details but overall this was the best stay on the whole Gold Coast. Incredibly peaceful and really well maintained. Will definitelly come again.

Large, spacious cabins. Very quiet. nice spa bath. complementary wine and chocolates

Our room no 7 had a wheelchair accessible bathroom - not sure if they are all like that, but we didn’t need a bathroom with those features and would have preferred a standard bathroom. Booked this place thinking the ‘fireplace’ were wood burning. turns out they are just plug in fake electric fireplaces (not quite what we were looking for) the included breakfast was a little disappointing.

Stunning rainforest views, spa bath, restaurant menu was lovely, bottle of sparkling wine and chocolate on arrival, breakfasts each morning brought directly to our treehouse, comfy bed, lovely mood lighting - very romantic

Fireplace was electric/fake (a Dimplex heater plugged into the wall), restaurant was lovely but even next to the fire it was a bit chilly (more heating needed), some of the wines on the menu were not available and the ones we had we a bit average, treehouse 3 wasn’t as private as the others - we looked down into the pathway that led to other tree houses

I was surprised how relaxed I felt just a few hours in to the stay. Highly recommend two nights minimum and can’t wait to return. Loved the big windows and the view of the secluded rainforest. It was even more magical because it rained the whole time. The noises of rainfall, bird songs and insects made this place exceptional. Staff were super friendly and accommodating for more towels, ice and local recommendations. Had low expectations for breakfast based on past reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Also we highly recommend the Irish pub in the Main Street if you fancied trip out.

Really minor things- freezer didn’t freeze but reception was happy to give ice. No fault to the venue but the floors remained wet due to the climate but reception gave towels.

Liked size of rooms, atmosphere, outlook, decorations. Great rainforest setting with unique lodges, although to call them tree houses is rather a stretch of the imagination - they are on the forest floor rather than in the tree tops. Very convenient location, close to North Tamborine town centre. Excellent continental breakfast with surprise inclusions. Great restaurant for celebrating special occasions although a touch pricey.

A coffee machine (pods) or plunger would have been nice to go with continental breakfast. Outside light was not working, hard to see keypad when coming back from the restaurant. Receptionist didn't seem that interested when we reported it on checking out. Is a bit of a hike from carpark to room with bags.
