My wife and I booked 5 nights for early March, and from the moment we checked in, we were made to feel at home in this stunning hotel. From the room, to the food to the staff, it exceeded every expectation. Little did anyone know that a Cat 2 cyclone would make a bee line for Brisbane.
After 3 wonderful nights, for safety reasons, the hotel decided to close.
Special shout out to Staci for making arrangements for us to move to another hotel that would withstand the wind and taking care of everything to set that up! Absolute over and above service!!! Thank you to Simon as well for taking the time to drive us to the new location and make sure we were welcomed and even showed us around.
We are both grateful that you all took such amazing care of us!!!
5 stars to the entire staff as well as the super chill atmosphere even during some scary times. Looking forward to booking our next trip to pick up where we left off.
G’day and thanks again!!
Dave and Angela.

If you like small boutique hotels with great staff, good food, super location in Brisbane, and nice rooms, this hotel is for you. Booked two rooms for family on three day weekend and it was magical. The friendliest and most accommodating staff, nice rooftop bar with views of city and bridges, and wonderful breakfasts on terrace. The staff made some terrific restaurant recommendations, too.

An incredible experience. My partner and I stayed for 2 nights, he planned a surprise proposal for me, and with the help of all of the staff, the experience was absolutely incredible.
Jo, the 4x4 tour guide, was so much fun to explore with, he was interested and interesting, he was so grateful to be a part of the engagement and to film it for us, I’m not sure that anyone else would have made the experience as special as he did.
As for the restaurant, all the staff were so amazing. Every single one congratulated us privately, and our service was 10/10. The food and dining experience was amazing.
The room was beautiful, it was private and the view was spectacular. It was super clean and luxurious.
Dan, the GM, really made us feel special and made our stay even more unforgettable. Nothing was a hassle for him, he was genuinely happy for us.
What an incredible team of people and an incredible place. We would love to come back ASAP!

Absolutely recommend. We had a magical couple of days celebrating a birthday. It's very peaceful with lovely amenities. The staff are wonderful too. I can't remember ever having a better steak!
Michelle McDonald
Stunning rural property location. The timber cabins were just gorgeous and so private. Great restaurant and bar. Loved our stay for our 30th Wedding Anniversary

Great location and perfect for a getaway weekend. Dining room was a little understaffed, and the wait for breakfast was long around an hour. Beds were uncomfortable, not sure if it was because they were just extra soft or haddn't aged well.

Hello Team!
We recently had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant, the date was 20/03/25 for dinner as i don't have the names of your staff. I was initially sceptical because i don't often treat ourselves to a meal like you provide. I am in service myself and i must say 'the way you made me feel' is number one in my eyes. Of course the meal was excellent, i don't think I've eaten a more tender and tasty steak. We weren't left alone for longer than 2 minutes by your staff, which was great, i couldn't take a sip of water without it being topped up again, if someone left the table the napkin was already folded, there was a blanket brought and wrapped around my grandchild without a word from us to ask, amazing service! Ive told at least 10 people of my experience and i'm already looking for an excuse to come back. To this day i am still remembering and reflecting on the experience, and that is why i am leaving this review.
Well done, thanks to all the staff!!

This was a wonderful place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The food and wine were premium quality. Our small lodge was fantastic, and the location was outstandingly beautiful.
