Wallaby Ridge Retreat 88 Bambling Road, Wonglepong, Queensland 4275

"5 stars are not enough to give justice to this great hidden gem in the heart of Mt Tamborine. Do yourself a favour and pay a visit to Dan and his Team, you won’t regret it at all. The calm, relaxing vibes of this place literally wash the everyday stress away. Hanging by the pool or getting massaged by the outdoor spa is just a little treat compared to the cleanliness, the peace and the superb views you can enjoy from this place. A glass of wine and some cheese on the balcony made it for the most glorious sunsets we witnessed, surrounded by nature and lots of local fauna like kookaburra and lots of wallabies. The closest town, Canungra, is a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the most delicious pies ever! 10 out of 10, no faults all around and great, not intrusive service for the best getaway I remember in many years! Well done guys, I will see you again soon!"

"What can I say? I just wanted to thank you for the most amazing stay at Wallaby Ridge Retreat.  From the moment you welcomed us  to when we checked out, we knew we were staying somewhere special.  The location is stunning,  the apartments are so well thought out with so many extras (especially love the nightlight in the bathroom!), the breakfast basket is so thoughtful. We just loved sitting on the terrace enjoying those extraordinary views, listening to bird song and watching the wallabies. But the stand out part of Wallaby Ridge is YOU! Your love for what you do, the local area and Australia is just wonderful and, as someone who works in hospitality, cannot be faked. You make guests feel so welcome and clearly nothing is too much trouble.  We just know we won't stay anywhere as memorable on the rest of our trip. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!"

"Fabulous! Great welcome. Stunning views. Comfortable vibe. Well equipped and generous breakfast provided. Excellent kitchen. We chose the older units for the view and extra spaciousness and were certainly not disappointed. The layout is nicer than the pictures. Great hot tub for sunsets. Easy drive to TM. Dan is a wonderful host. Highly recommended."

"A hidden gem that is a delightful surprise. A stuff up in the booking on my part and the words "I told you so!" Ringing in my ears from my girlfriend made me somewhat anxious at what I booked. Out of a mistake came great delight! The rooms are certainly comfortable and spacious with very soft and large beds. The bathroom is modern, lots of room and with great water pressure. The whole place is well set up for the disabled, frail and aged with grab rails in the showers and everywhere is pretty much wheelchair accessible. There is a small kitchenette with microwave and hot plate. Milk and juice was supplied. The grounds and gardens are well laid out and well maintained by a dedicated and passionate staff and owners. The view from the patio right outside your room fills your eyes with the distant mountains and ranges as well as the beautiful trees and flowers all around us. A huge bonus is the wallabies but then again with a name like theirs, one would expect to see some and we were not disappointed. They are curious but yet shy and skittish but you can still get to within a few metres if quiet and careful. All in all a great stay and a great host who is very accommodating, informative and friendly."

"Wallaby Ridge Retreat is far enough away from the busyness of the Gold Coast and city life yet close enough to the convenience of big city services. The property is massive and is connected to a National Park. Beautiful Nature tranquility and home away from home like accommodation allowed me to relax and unwind from the stresses life has been dishing out. Dan (the Manager) was very welcoming and professional and played a big part in making my experience at the retreat a positive one. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful location with a good amount of Nature to Relax and Unwind from Life. Matt"
