The gardens and area surrounding the property was gorgeous. Our girls loved helping cook in the rail carriage kitchen and eat in the shared diner and outdoor seating area.

Nestled amongst the trees with a garden view of the mountain. Lots of walks nearby and the tavern in town is a short 5min drive (great food). We stayed here because of the proximity to the zoo; 12mins by car. The service was personal and breakfast at the train was simple and yummy. Thank you.

Little Gem in the Glasshouse mountains

What a find! …location is exceptional . We enjoyed the fabulous bungalow accommodation set in the heart of the Glasshouse mountains and only a 15 min drive to the Australia zoo. Keith the host was amazing and even helped us check-in 3 hours late. A special mention to Sally who was an extra ray of sunshine at breakfast. A walk around the grounds and seeing the quirky additions and woodland/creek wander is certainly worth doing.

Nature Lover's Paradise with Rich History &Comfort

This hotel is an incredible destination for nature enthusiasts. Nestled among lush tropical fruit trees, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the property using their detailed plant map, which enriched our understanding of the surrounding flora.

The accommodation was stunning—an expansive, two-story wooden chalet with a charming German/Swiss pine design. It was impressively spacious, comfortably accommodating our family of four (two adults and two children). Our eldest, aged 8, delighted in the loft-style attic room upstairs. Do note that the stairs are a bit steep, so a phone torch can be handy at night.

One of the most memorable aspects was learning about the property's rich history and the inspiring vision of its creator, Keith. His dedication is evident in the restoration of an old train carriage and the remarkable relocation of a church, which involved a seven-hour journey by road.

Bird lovers will be especially enchanted by the symphony of birdsong that greets the morning, making each day start with a natural serenade. For those who enjoy hiking, the hotel’s proximity to excellent trails is a significant bonus. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a serene retreat with a blend of history, nature, and comfort!

It is one of the places that you want to keep for yourself and not letting other people know, so you can keep coming back to stay. The ecolodge is an excellent accommodation option in the Glass House Mountains area. We stayed there at a quieter time with not many guests at the lodge. The quality of accommodation was superb. The property itself is amazing with a range of accommodations available and wonderful Garden of Eaten. Even being out of season we picked up few fruits to enjoy. One can turn it into an educational experience for kids by learning names of various fruit trees and some facts about them (there is a guide book to help). There are various short walks around the property as well as a small library and games/toys that keep children (and adults) occupied. Lookouts and bushwalks are very close. Communal kitchen is fit with everything you need for cooking. It might be hot there during summer but we were at a cooler time, so did not notice it much. Staff is very helpful and accommodative.

Had to book something quickly for one night so probably got the last room. It was cheap and probably what you would expect for the price. Even so its still good money that was more about the badge than the product. Bed very uncomfortable and squeaky. Room noisy from surrounding visitors. Bathroom clean but dated and shower leaking. Overall better than sleeping in back of the car, but probably no better than a cabin at an unbranded caravan park. Happy to have paid more for better experience if there was one available as the overall property is very lovely and unique. Maybe next time.
