Lovely property and huge room with high ceiling but because it’s deep in the rainforest and going in July, we found it really cold and had to have the aircon on 24 degrees all the time. Breakfast basket was adequate and they catered for my gf option. The avocado orchard was lovely to walk around. It would be better to go in summer when the lack of sunshine in the room would give relief from the heat. All in all good value and very handy by car to Nth Tamborine e shops and restaurants.

The room was set up in a bizarre way with a large number of lights in the internal stair being permanently on throughout the night. I presume this was because of safety as the stair, while only 1 step, was 10m wide. This meant the room was lit up like a Xmas tree. It explains why eye masks were provided but here we are in the rainforest and the room is lit. Very annoying.

This is the third time we have stayed here. Previous time was probably 5 years ago and we were very disappointed in our stay on this occasion. The fire place is no longer a fireplace and has very little heat coming out of it and there is a plastic remote to operate it. The airconditioning was set on timer so it the middle of night heating has gone off and its freezing in the room. The breakfast you receive is very basic. The furnishings had holes in them. For quite an expensive stay it wasnt worth it and we probably wont return. It used to be so well maintained.

Pethers was not a five star property more like a two star, no communication between staff, bathroom very dirty. Stands out they are trying to save money, breakfast was very poor, you get more breakfast at mcdonalds. Needs updating. Their are also no views as advertised. New owners need to look at the standards they could create a perfect oasis, instead of running it on a shoe string.

When you arrive to your secluded retreat, you become immersed in a rainforest experience. Fireplace and just as a required backup ( aircon) , the GORGOUS comfy bed and of course the spa bath all added to our wonderful experience. We always call to this relaxing retreat in winter and so the times here are always cosy and cute. The BREAKY basket left at your door was spot on with cereals, juice, quich and toast and jams was a delight.
Well done to the team at PETHERS, we will be back.

A unique location in a rainforest setting. Perfect for our honeymoon destination. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Relaxing retreat to switch off from busy lives

It's a retreat not a resort! That's the first thing to understand. What that means is if you stay Monday through to Wednesday (as we did) the retreat's restaurant is not open for dinner. Your room is equipped with a small refrigerator, toaster, jug, glasses, mugs, some cutlery and plates, coffee/tea but no microwave or stove-top. A free sparkling wine and small chocolate bar does not answer the call of dinner. To access dining facilities one has to venture into the main street by car as the retreat is located down a gravel road and dark at night. On those nights only one or two restaurants in the village are open. We tried two over that time - the Belvedere (Italian) could not be recommended for its food or service. Also, despite what it states on its menu, it is not licensed. Clancy's Irish Bar provided good service and hearty meals one night. Back to Pethers - expect wildlife noises at night, possums running across the roof, bullfrogs croaking, etc etc. Remember it's a rainforest retreat. Also, there are no shades, curtains or blinds on the floor to ceiling windows - you look out into a man-made rainforest scene. Beautiful but expect to get up with the sun! There is no Wi-fi available in the room. Wi-fi can be accessed in the Main Lodge but the Lodge shuts at 5pm (earlier on Monday-Wednesday if there are few guests). Overall, it's business model is about what it doesn't offer - no dinner, no wi-fi, no common area after 5pm, no blinds, no interaction. Relax!

Pure relaxation away from the pace of modern life.

Everything about this place is perfect. Each pristine clean tree house has complete privacy. It is surrounded by rainforest and even the windows are one way glass. The design is modern enough without losing some old world charm with a comfortable sitting area, dining table and king bed. There is a small kitchenette with toaster, jug and coffee plunger so bring some snacks with you.( no cooking allowed in room though) Its only a little over a km from Main Street with it’s many restaurants and facilities ( the Pethers restaurant is only open on weeeknds) and a short drive to national parks. A small continental breakfast is delivered each morning at 8.30am.

Relaxing, but more attention to detail please.

We stayed for one night for my partner's birthday.

The room was delightful with 5 metre high ceilings and direct views of the rainforest. Bed was comfortable and room was well equipped with T2 tea and local coffee facilities. We indulged in an in room spa treatment which was simply amazing.

One let down would be the lack of air conditioning. I didn't read the features close enough when booking and unfortunately it was a 37 degree day. However, easily soothed with cold drinks and spa.

We stayed in #1 Tree house which was very private, but if we tried we could easily see our nude neighbours in #2.

For the price I paid for the room, I would expect a little more attention to detail. Not things that are worth causing a huge fuss over:

1. The previous guests turned the bar fridge down to '1' which caused it to melt and smell. This also caused the welcome champagne to be warm. Staff could have checked when replenishing & also provided an ice bucket.
2. The Epsom salts next to the spa were wet and the cardboard was gross and falling apart.
3. There was some confusion with reception as I was sent an invoice 'meant for Wotif' which lead me to believe I was charged twice for the room & massages. Multiple calls and checking of various credit card statement resolved the issue. A little disappointing as the stress from this little issue undid any bit of relaxation I had from my stay.

Beautiful, serene location and a great room

The room was huge and beautiful and the welcome champagne and chocolates were lovely. Bed was comfy, room was clean and the lux touches of local Mt Tamborine coffee, T2 tea and Milk toiletries was appreciated. The breakfast hamper was fresh and filling and overall we just had a great stay. We'll definitely go back :)

Very relaxing amongst the wildlife

We felt relaxed immediately we arrived at Pethers. Staff very friendly and helpful, highly recommended but quite pricey.

Perfect Pethers

Great way to unwind with the one you love

The experience gave my wife and I the sense that we were special. If you want to rediscover love or treat someone special then Pethers is perfect. Don't be put off by the room rate, it's worth every cent.

Not worth the price.

The setting was beautiful and the place looks impressive, but the room was very cold and the furniture quite uncomfortable.The gas heater - not fireplace, did not heat the large room with high ceiling. The bed was not made up for winter and the bathroom had no heating at all - no heat lamp, wall heater or floor heating. The water pressure was low in the shower. I had to ask for an extra heater and blankets. We had the gas heater on high and two fan heaters blowing to try to warm the room. The DVD player had very poor volume. The onsite restaurant is only open Friday and Saturday nights, so was unavailable during our stay - which means that you had nowhere onsite to even have a coffee or drink at the bar let alone a meal. There is no cooking facilities in the room - not even a microwave where you could heat up takeaway. In short, this is not what you would expect from a place that markets itself as a luxury hotel and just not worth the money.

Fully accessible retreat

I am in a wheelchair and was very impressed by the accessibility of the room! The bathroom was wide, the room was very large, and all the furnishings were beautiful. Our balcony was just on the rain forest. I could get around on the walkways with no problems. The food was absolutely divine and the staff bent over backwards to accommodate us! Thank you so much for a lovely night away.

Peaceful and private cottage with gorgeous outlook

The driveway in to the resort began the sense of getting away from the world. We were welcomed with a warm and friendly greeting, after that staff were available, friendly but not intrusive which was nice.Total wow factor on seeing our cottage. Breakfast was a lovely bonus, as were the complimentary wine and chocolates. I would love to have stayed and relaxed longer. Thanks for the experience Pether's, I will definitely return.

Perfect retreat for a wind down experience

It exactly provided for what we were looking for which was a quiet and relaxing location with provision of all the facilities that we would expect from a retreat style facility.

Peaceful, surrounded by nature.

We have stayed here before, and our second stay was not disappointing. Pethers is beautiful and peaceful and is a lovely cozy escape in the winter months because it has a lovely fire to relax in front of. All you can see out the windows is trees, trees and more trees, and is absolutely private.

Great place to hang out

We went away for a couple of days to recharge and Pethers was the perfect place. Because of the generous proportions of the tree house, it was easy to stay and relax and simply enjoy the rainforest around us. Breakfast was even delivered to our door.
