Very relaxing two night stay in one of the two eco villa's. Perfect for a couples getaway. Very comfortable bed and the villa was spotless. Loved the wallabies and very friendly kookaburras. A great location if wanting to explore parts of the scenic rim.

My partner and I only stayed for a few days, though it felt like we were there for longer as it was such a treat. Dan was great, he showed us around the property and gave us a nice welcome, the cabin was clean and had amazing views. There was fresh bread and continental cereal for breakfast. As you drive into the property you will be meet by a beautiful long winding road that will take you up the hill to see the wallabies and vine yard before the reception. We would highly recommend the stay at wallaby ridge!!

OMG this was the most relaxing weekend away, it was hidden on a ridge full of wallabies hopping around in the serenity of the bush land. The eco villa was so comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a weekend away, the layout of the villa uses the space so well you feel it is huge inside. The lovely gentleman that shows you around is absolutely delightful. Trust me the spa was the perfect temperature of warm bubbling water especially for a night treat after a long day exploring the Mountain.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wallaby Ridge Retreat. It was the most peaceful idyllic location, not too far from everything. The rooms and grounds were so beautiful, very well furnished. The sumptuous breakfast was a wonderful start to the day. Robyn and John were so helpful, we can't wait for another excuse to get away from it all to Wallaby Ridge Retreat :-)

We really had a fabulous stay. The breakfast was yummy, the spa wonderful, the room and main lounge were so well presented. We loved going into this area at night as the fire was always on and surrounds so comfortable. The hosts were delightful. Nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to get back for another holiday.

My Husband and I stayed 4nights. Host Robyn is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. She makes us feel so at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and love the quiet, peaceful surrounding with amazing views, fresh air, nature(beautiful birds, cute wallabies, other wildlife). Indeed a great place for retreat away from the hustle and bustle life. The room is big and clean with separate living room. It has cooking facilities with all the necessities. Breakfast is generous with freshly baked bread. You will find fresh eggs, bacons, and sausages & etc in the fridge. Nice cereals esp the toasted. This place is convenient. It is a short drive to Cannugra town for meals and groceries. It is also convenient to drive to other places of attractions around Tambourine mountain and other Places of interest. We will return to stay longer in our next visit. Hopefully no ants in our pants as we want to stay put to soak and enjoy the beautiful ambience in this special retreat.

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and enjoy Australia's natural bushland and bird and wildlife. It is a great place to relax and glad you took advantage of it and have no "ants in your pants" next time - maybe I can find another amusing Australian saying for you next time :)

Thank you for your review. We always listen to feedback, so we are sorry you didn't appreciate the décor. I am sure our Eco Villas would have impressed you with their modern look if the vintage traditional suites didn't appeal to you. Every suite and villa is different but all are very comfortable and quiet. Weekends book out quickly so advance notice ensures guests get the room they want. Apart from that, glad the mountain views and generous breakfast basket ticked the boxes. Hope to see you again to try the alternative.

The retreat is accessed via a steep sealed driveway, the end of which reveals a secluded brick rectangular building snuggled into the hilltop.There are three rooms for guests, each looking across the valley and adjacent mountain range. Ours was huge, like an apartment, which is entered through a wide hallway which also leads on to a club lounge with the adjacent barbecue /outdoor eating area also under-roof. A verandah which runs the whole length of the building is accessed via a sliding security door from each guest room.We found the whole experience to be reminiscent of an upmarket private hotel, which makes the immaculately maintained Wallaby Ridge Retreat superb value for money and definite candidate for a return visit.

Hi Charlie, Thanks for your kind review. I might mention the suites are all the same size, looking to the magnificent view. We also have 2 eco villas a romantic alternative, looking into the forest. I am so glad you enjoyed your experience at Wallaby Ridge and we so enjoy direct contact with our guests to understand their booking needs. We offer home cooked meals by prior arrangement and have facilities for those with mobility challenges as well. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Kind regards Robyn and John

Great Stay...
Our second stay at Wallaby Ridge and again it was awesome - the wallabies were outside our cottage most mornings and evenings. The cottage was extremely well appointed with everything we needed and comfortable. Also we were able to receive wi-fi which we had not been able at our previous accommodation on the mountain.

Hi Laura, Thanks for your review, looks like the weather looked after you as well.

Beautiful environment
Excellent couples' retreat, very clean and comfortable with spectacular views. Lovely private feeling as there are only 3 units on the property. Robyn made us feel very welcome and the breakfast supplies were generous. Watched the sunset from the spa on both nights while having a glass of bubbles Wallabies are also regular visitors and one had a tiny joey for us to admire. Highly recommended. Brenda

Hi Brenda, thanks for taking the time to review your break with us. We are happy you and Tom enjoyed your couples escape with us. Life doesn't seem to slow down, so it is important to have a break where nature can work its magic. There's something about a sunset isnt there? We hope you take some time out again soon and maybe try one of our 2 secluded cottages looking into the forest. Thanks again Robyn and John.

Bush retreat
Our 4 day stay at Wallaby Ridge Retreat was so peaceful after visiting with our young grandchildren each day in Brisbane. Our hosts Robyn & John were very welcoming and Robyn showed us all the wonderful facilities available to us. The cottage was exceptionally clean & the bed was soooo comfortable. I would recommend WRR to anyone wanting a few days relaxation surrounded by beautiful countryside & lots of wineries. Canunga is also anice little town nearby.

Quiet retreat, beautiful views, excellent hosts
We had a lovely weekend away. It is very quiet and comfortable. There is a communal lounge area (with complimentary liqueurs) as well as a communal bbq area which would be great for a group. Nearest restaurant is about 15 minutes away at a winery. Restaurants on Tamborine mountain mean the very bendy 30 minute drive up and down. Breakfast supplies are very generous and the fresh eggs were delightful. Great to unwind in the spa with champagne, and valley sunset views.
Response from Robyn on 7 Apr,2018
Thanks for your review Noela. The house is set up for either a couples escape, with the self contained suites or perfect for a group getaway (especially with our extra 2 cottages for a larger group), so glad you appreciated this. Canungra - 10 minutes easy drive, has a some great dining options, including the Hotels courtesy bus. We are used to the mountain drive and we don't think twice about visiting some of the gems up there if we find time. We offer cooked meals by arrangement too if you don't want to venture out after dark. Maybe on your next visit perhaps?

Beautiful retreat nestled in the hills.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. On arrival we were greated by them & the smell of freshly cooked bread. Our breakfast thst was included in the deal was substantial with freshly baked bread. The retreat is close to wineries & cafes & beautiful scenery. We loved the outside spa where we ciuld look out to the hills and valleys. We highly recommend this resort.
Response from Robyn on 7 Apr,2018
Thanks for taking the time to review us Julia. We offer a breakfast basket so our guests can rise, prepare and eat at their leisure. Most of us enjoy a sleep in when the opportunity arises or if you have to get on those walking tracks and beat the heat, that early getaway is also an option. Our Retreat has ticked a few boxes for you so we hope you see you again soon. Thanks again, Robyn and John
