We would stay again
The house was fantastic. Very clean and well presented and equiped very well in the kitchen. I was particularly impressed with the small tube of tooth paste and tooth brush in the ensuite, particularly as I had left mine behind. The house does need some maintain outside as it is a jungle to walk through to get to the front door. Really need a full Length mirror in one of the bedrooms.

Visitors book lol
We had a lovely weekend overall. A few points to make though; The tight point toward the house at the end of garage could use a cut back. The home on entry smelt of sewage(at entry area) & dog but aired out quickly once opened. Sewerage smell still occasionally near door/ kitchen window. So pretty & inviting once aired. The main bathroom glass panel may or may not be considered precarious as my 25 yo gripped it only slightly to get out of shower and fell to the floor, not realising it was hinged (quite severe bruising on thigh & wrist damage). We were concerned that had it been a hard grip the swinging glass may have smashed on the towel rail. The Mount Tamborine books are great, as is the decor & layout of the home. Deck we used only once (due to rain) but is a beautiful space (maybe needs some citronella burners or mozzi coils available). Grateful for the dining table & loved the lighting especially in the kitchen, so bright & cool but not hard. The gifts were truly appreciated as was the experience of you special home. We would love to visit again😊 Ghostbusters

Fabulous house
The house was everything you could want for a stay on Tamborine Mountain. The kitchen was fully supplied with every possible item you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house was spotlessly clean. The checkin process was seamless. We would definitely recommend it to friends and family and would love to visit again.

This lovely property was everything we had hoped for and there was everything we needed. It has a lovely wide verandah overlooking beautiful trees with the sight and sound of birds, a big barbecue which we used every evening and comfortable chairs around a large table.

Stepped into a home out a magazine
It felt like we had stepped straight into a home from a "Better homes & gardens magazine". The Hampton style house was our home away from home while we chased waterfalls around Mt Tambourine. It was so tastefully decorated, warm & inviting with all the extra things that make life as a mum easier (washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, bath). Highly recommend this accommodation.
