Guest Reviews
- Nicky (4/5): -
- Barbara (6/5): The property did provide what I was looking for as I was entertaining my 4 grandchildren who are very much used to moder - The location was great. The cafe is only open for a very limited time on weekends. I’d originally thought it would offer me an option for an evening meal so I had to be very organised with food. The cabin was very tired and I was disappointed in having to make up the bunk beds myself. The linen was extremely tired. There were no insects screens so it was problematic leaving the windows open for fresh air and to help cool the rooms. While fans were provided for both bedrooms, they were not efficient given they were only able to be used on the floor and did not give good circulation.
- Julie (8/5): -
- Greyhound Glenn (6/5): A basic but good place to stay as long as it doesn't get too hot - Toilet and shower block were very clean and refreshing. Very hot weekend made sleeping a struggle because the rooms were not air-conditioned
- Milliken (10/5): - Atmosphere
- Jo-Anne (10/5): Great place to go unwind 😁 - It might not be for everyone with the shared bathroom facilities, but as far as value for money goes it was amazing! Quiet fire at night and a good bottle of wine. The lack of reception was a bonus for me. The place could use some love, but the condition is understandable with only one couple running the whole place. It would be a lot of work.
- Kerry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tracy (9/5): Superb - Everything was great kitchenette bon fire Creek activities for kids and got the kids off there phones Beds bit hard
- Meme (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wilma (9/5): It was a nice and comfortable stay with a nice cafe to enjoy some nice food. Denis & Katy are courteous amazing host - The place is very scenic, beautiful and serene. It was a comfortable stay. Nil
- Sopheap (10/5): - Katy the owner was so friendly as well her dog Butler. Beautiful river which is easy access from the cabins. Our stay was short due to other committments during the day but by night it was so peaceful. We bonded because of no wi-fi which was great not having kids or us on technology. Different experience for us from our normal hotel/motel stay but we loved it.
- Divina (4/5): Disappointing - Beautiful location nestled among nature Dated facilities. Very,very unloved. Poorly maintained. Strong smell of dog/animal poop surrounded us for the entire stay.
- Daniela (8/5): Very good -
- Hinds (5/5): Our stay was enjoyable. - The location was fantastic, very quiet and relaxing. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The kitchenette was outside, the cabins could be changed to have the kitchenette inside with a small dining area. The toilets and showers being a separate building, but we knew this before booking.
- Denise (4/5): Disappointing -
- Michelle (10/5): - We loved the peaceful atmosphere. So tranquil and quiet. Seeing the stars and waking up to the birds chirping away was so refreshing. Katy the host was lovely and accommodating to our needs.
- Alison (9/5): Quiet country cabins, great food, awesome experience all round - The property is out in the country and is super quiet, the facilities are great and nice hot showers, we were lucky and had dinner and breakfast there. The food was very good and couldn’t ask for more. We used the fire pit and watched the great view In the sky, that’s hard for see form the city. We didn’t want to go home, it was the best relaxing night we have had in a while.
- Grozinger (6/5): Pleasant -
- Shane (5/5): Passable - Beaudesert was nice. The roads, very dangerous, if it's a holiday site the roads all should double lane, updated bridges, it's 2024. The tennis courts had lights, but we couldn't use them.
- Tania (10/5): Amazing Views, very relaxing! - Breakfast was delicious, Cafe was awesome , fresh jams and relishes, cookies, just delicious! Owners very accommodating and knew alot of historical facts about the area, what a great stay! n/a
- Christine (9/5): Katy was excellent - Pet friendly Too far
- Barbara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richters (5/5): Our stay was interesting - When we arrived I was so happy to find peace and quiet in a beautiful setting. Katy was lovely and her food delicious. Accommodation was basic but we knew what we were getting so happy with that. Katy helped us build our first ever camp fire 🔥 For the first couple of hours was peaceful then Katy told us a group was arriving, that was an understatement indeed! A massive church congregation took over the entire place including so many peeps they used tents in the grounds, the shared camp kitchen I struggled to get into due to always occupied, they had drums and microphones that blared out preaching to their flock …..and kids- so many many many kids, noisy as hell until late -then up at 5.45 next morning, even knocking on our door “top of the mornin” 🤔 they were very friendly tho but ..still no blissful peace. I would definitely go back, but would ring first to check no massive groups would coincide with our stay!
- Jenni (9/5): Katy was a lovely host, facilities were comfortable and clean. - Close to the Stinson walk and on a no through road so nice and quiet and convenient. N/a
- Jaymie (9/5): Superb -
- Henman (8/5): we had a lovely two nights stay at Christmas Creek Cabins. We stayed to take our son mountain biking at Tamrookum. Prett - comfortable, clean, lovely accommodation owners. Having the cafe on site is lovely.
- Retha (8/5): Very good -
- Melinda (10/5): - We enjoyed our overnight stay at Christmas Creek Cafe & Cabins. The cabins were basic but clean, there was a small heater, enough to take the edge off the chill in the room and plenty of warm blankets provided. We made a small fire down by the creek and the kids loved playing in and around the creek. Was lovely to get away and disconnect from the everyday routine!
- Ginetta (6/5): - This property is highly over rated. There is NO running water in the cabin or in the outdoor kitchen. The cutlery, crockery, pots and pans were not clean. Certainly not Covid clean. We were not offered a free drink on arrival. The cafe was CLOSED. It is certainly NOT value for money. The whole property is run down and needs major upgrades, new curtains, paint etc.
- Julie (7/5): Good -
- Imran (7/5): Good -
- Ashleigh (9/5): Superb -
- Yuka (9/5): Relaxed and refreshed - The creek in front of the cabins provided a great place for our 9, 6, 3yo children to play. It was just the right depth. The tennis and basketball courts were great too as our children enjoyed playing with balls. It.was quite relaxing and refreshing to stay here. Katy and Dennis were great hosts. Thank you for helping us. I would have liked more cooking options, ie, I should have packed the camping cooking tools to use over the campfire. Our phones had absolutely no reception when we needed it...but we could not have done anything about it and we knew about it too.
- Rubenna (5/5): Passable -
- Nirakar (1/5): our worst decision ever. congested and unhygenic. - its open and quiet. they are trying to sell the property so they do not maintain it. very dirty. all the kitchenware and kitchenette were dirty with insects all over the floor. Cabin are tiny. no space to put your clothes and other stuff. The picture they have on the website is fake. our room was totally different then what was on the photo. room has all bunk beds not even a single or double beds 😡😡😡😡😡
- Sandra (10/5): such a quiet and peaceful setting for quality family time, we all really appreciated the food, friendliness and relaxed - lovely friendly host and exceptional food and beautiful location. very peaceful and quiet. everything was as I expected
- Jennifer (7/5): Good -
- Amy (6/5): - The location is Beautiful. Overall the accommodation was clean but it is not worth the Price. We were the only people there and in the shared bathroom was a basket of used bars of Soap in sandwich bags. I’m assuming on off for us to also use.
- Marjolaine (10/5): wanderful - the location is amazing, quiet and the nature around is stunning. it’s just before the National park. the cabins are just in front of a beautiful river perfect to enjoy ‘
- Heidi (9/5): Superb - Katy was amazing. she showed us around and then we had the time to ourselves, sitting quietly, listening to the wildlife and the river. It was just what we needed to switch off after our move home to Australia.
- Michael (10/5): - This is not a luxury stay, but perfect for bushwalkers wanting a square meal and a comfortable bed before the Stinson hike the next day. The games room and the undercover TV areas were fun to use. The historical photo albums were interesting to look at.
- Sophy (8/5): Very good -
- Tracey (9/5): Superb -
- Alison (8/5): - Liked the little touches - face washers in the bathrooms etc
- Verified traveler (10/5): - No TV no phone great food and service. Clean and tidy cabin and facilities
- Bertrand (8/5): Back to nature - Good place to be close to nature and catch with friends and family.
- Mark (10/5): - Great service and friendly people who went over and beyond. Thank you!
- Tracy (8/5): Star filled skies - Beautiful part of the world. Nice rustic accommodation Great hosts Great coffee
- Verified traveler (8/5): Beautiful, peaceful location - Great location...nice and quiet. Basic but everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay. Amenities block nice and clean....loved the fresh lavender touch. We were doing the Westray Grave walk on the Sunday so decided to have a two night stay. Great to recharge your batteries and escape from the city.
- Leila (10/5): Excellent location, lovely creek - We had a great time. The place is beautiful and peaceful. The cabins are nice and we enjoyed the tennis court.
- Pam (2/5): No facilities - No toilet, shower or water in our cabin! Walk in & straight back out & left; so disappointed!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Doorstep of Lamington National Park. - Spent 2 nights at this beautiful spot. Like camping without the hassle. Basic facilities but clean and comfortable. Friendly & welcoming owners. So relaxing & the kids had a ball playing games & exploring.
- The Temps (10/5): Wonderfull for kids - Beautiful surroundings! Great for kids. Plenty to do from private camp fires, bush walks, tennis, basketball, playing in a magnificent creek. Lovely staff who cook an amazing breakfast!
