Guest Reviews

Danielle (8/5): - Pros: Was perfect for a one night stay Quiet property Cooking facilities Clean Good folio of info on property and local area inside property Cons: We were not provided the check in code prior to arrival which meant we had to contact the provider at 2:05pm to obtain the code No wifi included Pool was freezing
Wayne (8/5): - Having to pay for WI FI is like 20 years ago. A. B and B where breakfast is not supplied unless you let them know the day before and have to also pay extra is inconvenient? Other than that a great property nice and quiet.
Nadia (4/5): - Our 3 day stay cost $540 and ultimately we were living in a "teenagers retreat" under the main house. The guests upstairs were ridiculously noisy and the "apartment" didn't even come with air-conditioning (was advertised as air-conditoned on this site). My partner needed somwhere cool to recover from chemo which is why we chose this property. No response from the owners when contacted. Ridiculously expensive wi-fi - given the amount paid for the "apartment". Expensive laundry facilities. Faulty appliances that almost tripped the circuit. Unsafe bathroom - water from the shower spills over the bathroom floor (no bathmat) and made for an almost visit to the Atherton hospital. The unit was clean and tidy but that was the only positive note of our experience. Can not recommend this property as it was definitely not value for money.
David (8/5): - Beautiful house and view
Jenny (8/5): - Convenient location, large rooms with a view.
Sue (4/5): - Confusing check-in with 2 properties called the same name at 2 different locations. Some guests went to wrong accommodation not just in our group
Nicholas (10/5): - Great quiet area in Atherton, easy drive down to the main town. Nestled on the side of a hill had a great view from the balcony.
Julia (8/5): - We booked the whole house and had expectations that were not met. Generally the place was beautiful though. First, my child wanted to use the advertised bunk bed, however, that room was locked off due to the numbers we booked for. This was not discussed with us at all. We're all friends/ family, but not everyone was in a couple to start with. Second, and more disturbing for us all was that the "whole house" rental did NOT COME WITH TOWELS. The property covid cleaning info mentioned towels in the cleaning blurb, but that was apparently just copy-paste from the single room rentals. We searched high and low and could see some in a locked cupboard, but this detail was in an email that I'd been too busy pre-break to actually take in. A friend in Cairns broke into my home and grabbed enough towels for me and my guests, so our second night stay involved showers. I booked this for a relaxing weekend for my birthday and there was no sympathy from the owner/s. We were told that the local Target would sell us some. Lastly, and I'm writing this review 2 years later... there was a separate unit underneath the "house", so even booking the "whole house" does not give sole use of the property outside of them locking away rooms. It was definitely worth the visit. But this is feedback that's weighed on my mind for 2 years. We still randomly bring up the towel thing. Even a work client who was at the Yungaburra markets that weekend will mention it. No shoes inside. Security cams outside.
Karen (6/5): - We were downstairs in the Ulysses Room which was a beautifully finished but dark with absolutely no views. The large large double entrance doors at the foot of the bed were unusual. There appears to be little or no noise insulation from the wooden floors above, allowing noise from movement of guests above.
Martin (8/5): - Good value and quiet location
Michael (10/5): Highly recommend it - Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Jackson (8/5): - Very quiet and cozy. Can cater for family , couples or singles
Donna (8/5): - Nice room needed a better shower head or pressure better settling on the verandah and cut down the rubbish trees so you could enjoy the views
Maureen (10/5): - The bed was so comfortable. No air con in the bedroom but a lovely heater was more than cosy.
Christine (8/5): I’d book this accommodation again. - We were happy with our choice of room. The rooms were clean and fresh. The only fault I had was the shower head needs attention and a warm blanket would of been helpful as it was cold. The small quilt would of been for a single bed not a the king bed. ☺️
Katja (8/5): - Went there for the views as per photos advertised, but those are just photoshopped :(
Maree (8/5): - Gorgeous surroundings, check in instructions were clear but impersonal. Bed was comfy and shower has great water pressure. There was a rising damp smell in our room unfortunately - possibly due to the amount of rain the area has had lately, but could do with a good airing/drying out. Shared kitchen facilities were good and well organised.
Elaine (10/5): - High on a hill with sweeping verandahs, gentle breezes and rainforest views. A beautiful B & B. Spotlessly clean with very comfy beds and a nice cosy feel.
Joseph (6/5): - There were a few little things that made our stay less than ideal. No air con in the bedroom, decor was very plain, shower head was pretty lame, no wifi unless you pay extra and most windows don't have fly screens. The view from the verandah could be alot better, but instead you just have a wall of trees mostly, and out to one side you look out over the water tanks with a little pocket of view in the distance. The laundry is coin operated, which is just annoying, and you are not supposed to use it from 9-11am, which is inconvenient.
Penelope (8/5): - The property was perfect for our big family, big bedrooms with plenty of bathrooms, lovely big verandah with outdoor tables and chairs. Living areas were roomy too. The couple of negatives for our stay were that we had to supply bath towels, the ventilation was poor, having to force windows open for fresh air, and the air-conditioning was unfortunately not working in the lounge area. One other negative was the laundry was only coin operated, which was tricky with young children and staying a week. Otherwise it was a perfect house for our stay. Staff were very nice and helpful when we contacted them about a couple of issues. Thankyou for having us, we did have a lovely visit.
Carolyn (4/5): - Unfortunately too many cockroaches for me! I turned back the bed to find live cockroaches in the sheets. I was in the downstairs unit and you hear about of noise from upstairs footsteps.
Cathy (8/5): - Check in was easy. It was quiet area peaceful area.
John (4/5): - Your venue was advertised as a bed and breakfast. But there was no breakfast, and when we called you, you did not respond. The beds were too soft. Overall, just an average experience, but a lot of disappointments.
Leonard (6/5): - This is not a B and B facility, no breakfast was provided, although Cont Breakfast could be provided for extra fee!! From the location and setting it appeared the stay would be nice and quiet. However the room was lower level with wooden floors above where other guests were quite noisy walking around all night and very early morning. Downstairs facilities were very good though. Other rooms had to share kitchen and lounge facilities, hence the continued noise. Would not stay again, have booked elsewhere for return trip.
Alistair (6/5): - Not quite what I expected. Was in great condition. But room was Spartan. One straight back wooden chair. A bed. Two bedside tables. That’s it. No seat to work at a bench table. No where to place my suitcase except the floor. Very small tv up in a corner. Hard to watch from bed without twisting my degenerate neck…communal areas the only place to try do some computer work. Not ideal. I would not stay here again. Cold. I was so cold. No heater. I slept in my clothes. Thin blanket doubled over me.
Rudy (8/5): - You could of made it clearer that wifi and breakfast was extras
David (4/5): - Booked a B&B as a 2 bed apartment for me and a business partner while travelling for work. We got in late-ish and light was fading but had received a link to get a key. Great so far. The address Google took us to on the street didn't really make sense so I checked the map, saw the pin and drove to that. Got there, parked, saw the key machine, typed in the code... no key. Tried a bunch of times... no key. Called a number another guest gave us who had similar problems, got through on the second try and turns out we were at the wrong property. Embarrassing. Eventually got to the right place. It was now proper dark, one light came on when we drove up but that was it. The house map is drawn the wrong way around making it more confusing in the dark, we finally get in the door, still dark and no sensor lights, use phone lights to find light switches. The layout was confusing, we didn't know if we had one or two bedrooms but the "two bedroom apartment" we'd booked had 3 other bedroom doors. So, it's not a 2 bedroom apartment at all, it's a share house. And, another guest was staying the same time as us, on the same level. Odd. All that aside. Inside is ok enough, the layout is just weird. The TV in the lounge room is 6 feet off the ground with a tall cabinet under it. They expect you to pay for wifi (hello 2003, this is 2023 calling). Wifi is like electricity, its just expected free everywhere. All in all, it's odd but ok if you know you're sharing.
Peter (10/5): - Lovely and quiet. Nice modern room and spotlessly clean.
Mandy (4/5): Deceptive description - The description of this hotel makes it sound like breakfast is included, in fact it is only if paid for and ordered before 11am the day before. Everyone I met at the hotel was disgruntled to find this. The headline description also infers wifi and free laundry facilities, actually neither are free. In this day and age, free wifi is a basic facility. The room was also very basic, no headboard, no low lighting (bedside light), not even a picture on the wall! The description also states 'private balcony'. This is untrue as it is a wrap around balcony for everyone to use. As our room was at the top of the stairs next to the kitchen, there were constantly people walking past. There is no air conditioning either.
Belinda (8/5): - The deck was nice to sit and relax. Common areas were clean and well maintained.
Sandal (10/5): - Beautifully built, quality inclusions, well maintained
Penelope (8/5): - Very comfortable well appointed place. Lovely verandah for breakfast. Only drawback was extra cost for wifi, otherwise we would have stayed longer.
Diane (10/5): - Quiet
Rockland (6/5): - This is an unattended property. Think boarding house style with individual rooms but no host present. It was clean and tidy but there is a problem with plumbing that is constantly making a noise every 10 mins or so all through the night. Also other occupants that party could be an issue for some. It’s difficult to police this when nobody is on site. The rooms are very clean and for 1 night you can put up with it I suppose.
Ewan (10/5): - The property is lovely and easily accessible. The kitchen was good but needs to have some paper towels for your hands
Verified traveler (8/5): - No communication with the hosts just lucky the cleaner was able to let us in. Advert was a little miss leading about the sharing arrangement however it was very clean and comfortable and brekky baskets were good.
Verified traveler (6/5): - We didn’t meet the hosts and was given a code to retrieve the key. Most impersonal. My husband had cold feet as he didn’t have socks in his luggage. It was requested that we were to remove our shoes due to the noise factor. My husband slipped in the bathroom. The tiles in the shower and bathroom are slippery when wet. The television reception was very poor on certain channels. The views are beautiful. However, the rooms are stark and lack warmth and a welcoming homeliness.
Damian (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic property and great value, even with two children in tow. Massive house and we were lucky enough not to be sharing with anyone else the night we stayed.
Verified traveler (10/5): - So so quiet
Verified traveler (6/5): Achtung - If you like a lot of rules and regulations - this place is for you. Don't move the furniture or you may incur a financial penalty. Don't wear your shoes in the room or you may incur a financial penalty.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Easy to find, beautiful outlook, exceptionally clean and very well equipped. Great value for noney
Timothy (2/5): Bed bugs - There was a problem with what we believed to be bedbugs biting us in the night. The owners declined to refund us the remainder of our trip after we left two nights early. We left them the bedbug we squished to examine and they disagreed with our assessment.
DONNA KRISTIN (10/5): Wonderful experience - Our stay at Summit was just perfect. We came late at night about 9;30pm and it was cold outside and we were tired and when we opened our room and saw a lovely bed. Nice and cozy and clean. Had a beautiful shower and checked out the kitchen before going to bed. Everything was great, our room, our continental breakfast and the chat with the lovely owner when we were leaving. Only one negative comment i have to say is that i wish the check out time was 10am not 9.30am. That just takes the relaxness you have about being in this lovely place to not so nice because you have to rush and eat breakfast and clean up and get yourself ready and pack up and be out by 9.30am. But i would still give it a 10/10
Verified traveler (10/5): - The quality of the accommodation, size of the apartment, helpfulness of owners and location.
GEOFFREY (10/5): Modern, spacious and comfortable. - A wonderful stay in a purpose built B&B. Well equipped including substantial continental breakfast. Modern and large bathroom. Highly recommended.
Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved the views and the walks around the property. It was lovely. The acoustics of the place do tend to make it quite noisy when people are walking around or cooking in the kitchen. It was lovely, open and spacious. A very welcoming place to stay.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Comfortable and quiet. Conveniently located. But I don't like being told to write a certain number of characters - succinctness is valuable.
Jessica (10/5): - Had a lovely stay, very clean and comfortable and plenty of space. Felt like a real little hideaway.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Check in experience was not very well signed should be there home address not the address of this B and B. The details are not explained in booking. The room needs an air con, the tv is to small, the bed was not comfortable and old. I didn’t like the shared kitchen experience and lounge room and wasn’t detailed on the booking prior to booking. Owners were nice. Not enough for continental breakfast either no fresh fruit or yogurt. Bread and cereal is not contitental.
Ges (8/5): - ALOT OF NOISE FROM UPSTAIR ROOM
Carol (8/5): - Still not sure about having to share kitchen and lounge rooms with other guests.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Friendly and helpfull staff but disappointing accomodation
