Guest Reviews
- Therese (10/5): -
- Lynne (9/5): The room & location met our expectations - Lovely setting, room was lovely
- Janet (10/5): - The setting in amongst the semi forest and the comfort of the size of the room, very comfortable bed and pillows and the attention to detail and decor very homely. The host was excellent and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend for your next getaway. Great value and walking distance to town. We were very satisfied.
- yohan (8/5): -
- Famke (8/5): Very nice stay - Very nicely setup accommodation. Lovely rooms, good bed, great shower and a veranda to sit and relax.
- Kate (10/5): -
- Wendy-Anne (10/5): Great getaway from the city and highly recommend. - Lovely setting and gardens. Room was modern and decorated with thought and care. Very clean and comfortable.
- Joanne (2/5): Extremely disappointed - Good location, comfortable bed, good shower. We stayed at The Odd Gecko (April 10–11) and were very disappointed.
There was no communication before arrival—no check-in details and no response to emails. Breakfast is listed as a highlight, but we were told it’s no longer offered, and there’s no access to shared guest areas as shown in the listing.
On arrival, no one was there to greet us. We were told by phone to choose a room ourselves. The weather was extremely hot, and although there is ducted air conditioning, it wasn’t turned on and is controlled from the main house.
We had a wedding to attend and were assured someone would be there to assist and turn on the air con. No one showed up, messages went unanswered, and we had to get ready in extreme heat, which was very stressful.
After raising these concerns via booking.com, the hosts refused to resolve the dispute.
Overall, poor communication, misleading listing details, and lack of hosting made this a very frustrating stay. I would not recommend.
- Vicki (8/5): hidden gem in Canugra - location was perfect, attended a rural wedding so very close by. Host was easily contactable and check-in was seamless. Welcome chocolates in fridge and little extras were lovey. enjoyed a cuppa before heading off the next morning Only thing to note is it isn't airconditioned but ceiling fans. It was a hot day, and evening was fine to sleep
- Angelique (2/5): Not a Bed & Breakfast - The room was lovely and the bed was comfortable Poor communication, poor facilities, bed and breakfast with no breakfast? No drinking water, had to get water out of bathroom sink. Nobody around to ask any questions. Better facilities at a motel and disappointing for the price point.
- Kuan-Ting (4/5): - The location of the Stay was good, the room was clean, and the room had a good design. The pool looked semi-clean, which is okay cause it was cold, so we didn't use it. Privacy was fabulous.
The Outdoor area was plenty and also had a good design to it I overheard that there wasn't any breakfast in bed as they don't do it anymore, or that time, which was sad.
The fan was dusty
The Hand towel LOOKS dirty
The Toilet was dirty when we went in to use it
No kitchen to cook in, but it advertises that there was a kitchen. When we booked, they changed it. Unless I read it wrong
- Christine (8/5): - Convenient location Supplies were abit scant
- Vanessa (10/5): Super friendly host, lovely room with ensuite. -
- Karin (8/5): A pleasant room in a secluded location within walking distance of a local restaurant. - The location was quiet and peaceful, yet within walking distance of a local restaurant.
- Krazy (10/5): -
- Helen (10/5): - Very clean, the owner and Anita they were very helpful. Beautiful location
- Charmaine (10/5): - Warm friendly staff, well appointed comfortable room. Excellent close but still quiet location. Nothing not to like.
- Damien (10/5): -
- Kelly (7/5): -
- Diana (9/5): It is a hidden gem situated in a lovely area amongst the trees close to the town. - Breakfast was very enjoyable. Set up in a lovely dining room. The ability to turn the air-conditioner on/off to our room. It was controlled by the owners in the main house.
- Ben (10/5): -

- Catherine (10/5): Point de départ idéal pour les différents parcs nationaux. - Accueil chaleureux. Petit déjeuner délicieux et copieux, avec choix. Point de départ idéal pour le parc national de Lamington et Tamborine. Chambre spacieuse avec auvent pour pouvoir rester dehors et à l'ombre. Literie confortable et grande salle de bain. Quartier tranquille. Je recommande complètement ! Rien ! Tout était parfait.

- MarkWard (10/5): -
- Jacqueline (9/5): -
- Shanne (8/5): Thank you Suzanne and Anita. We loved staying at the Odd Gecko. We would definitely choose to stay here again. Just a - The perfect getaway to visit family in the area.
Lovely, leafy and private at the end of a cul de sac but easy walking distance into Canungra. Nice pool to enjoy on a hot day - with recliners. We had a lovely room at the end of the verandah where you could enjoy breakfast, meals or drinks. A super comfy queen bed.
Very friendly hosts and relaxed environment with an inclusive light breakfast which we enjoyed daily in a shared dining area. We enjoyed everything.
- Naomi (9/5): - Comfortable close to everything..
- Michelle (9/5): Very nice - Quiet No milk
- Selena (9/5): -
- Julie Collie (8/5): Very comfortable place to stay - The room was lovely and bathroom new, clean and huge. Communication could have been better we had to ring to find out how to get in, we couldn’t access the pool as the gate had a knack to open it and it was very hot and one of the main reasons we booked the accomodation. Lucky the local pool was open
- Abbey (10/5): -
- Kymberly (10/5): Would definitely stay again! - How each bedroom had their own bathroom, the beautiful surroundings Tree sap dropped on out car, mirror.

- Tintu (9/5): -
- Kathie (10/5): Exceptional - Location and ambience
- Jennifer (9/5): Had a wonderful restful couple of days in this beautiful property on the edge of the rainforest. - The cold Breakfast provided was more than adequate with lots of variety including fresh fruit. Nothing was too much trouble for Suzanne and Anita. They were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The signage into the property at night at the top of the steep street is inadequate and under-lit after sunset, making it confusing which road to take. Reflective arrows and better lighting would be an improvement.

Doona was very heavy and I had trouble sleeping because of the weight.

- Elspeth (9/5): Warm, friendly, comfortable, beautiful - Friendly welcome, respect for primacy, beautiful, comfortable room, really nice breakfast with good choices. I was unwell one day and stayed in. The room became really cold at midday and I found it hard to rug up enough to stay warm (but I may have been cold because of my cold).
- Belinda (8/5): Attention to detail was exceptional. - The location and the host were exceptional. The rooster calls at dawn. We are country people and were in the end room which probably didn’t help but it really didn’t bother us but it could be a issue for others.
- Zola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (7/5): Good -
- Megan (8/5): Very pleasant stay, lady was lovely. - Breakfast was very nice.

- Ling (8/5): A lovely place for a short stay - A cozy and tastefully decorated cottage, very attentive and welcoming host. Enjoyed the stay very much. The room is a bit small
- Baker (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dan (9/5): Superb -
- Craig (9/5): Our stay was great overall, hidden gem, we will be back. - Unfortunately, we didn't stay for continental breakfast, we opted for a hot breakfast at a local cafe. I'm sure the breakfast was fine but hot breakfast would be better. Everything was great, very comfortable and a lot of thought has obviously gone into the experience. Not a negative but the filter in the bathroom needed cleaning, minor and not an issue as the room was very clean and tidy.
- Geraldine (10/5): A great find - Excellent location, quiet, lovely breakfast, lovely room and comfy bed Nothing
- Linda (9/5): Superb - Comfortable accommodation in a well appointed room Breakfast was adequate but basic.
- Victoria (9/5): Comfortable and clean, just what we needed after a few days touring around. - The bedroom and bathroom were of a good size and the host was very welcoming and friendly. Being woken up at 6am by a crowing cockerel wasn't ideal.
