Overall Ratings & Reviews Hilltop on Tamborine

Was an interesting experience. When booking it said this place had a great rating but when we arrived and researched more about the place, it seemed like pasts guests had similar experiences. When we arrived there was no reception, we didn't really know where to enter into and whether or not we were at the right place. We finally found someone and got put into a room without much conversation such as to where things were in relation to the hotel. After we went into our room there seemed to be no staff in sight. There wasn't a great deal of facilities in the room (fridge, microwave), there didn't seem to be a great deal of privacy with other guests for example, shared balconies that could look into other rooms and the walls were extremely thin. The place didn't seem take advantage of the beautiful function room that was advertised as an opportunity to get breakfast. I think that with a bit of a clean up, this could be an amazing place. However, the view was incredible. They had a beautiful church out the front. Quite a hassle to get to initially but surprisingly central to everything and close to where we needed to go. Good last minute booking for only one night.

No view trouble with shower door. Not what we expected. Never recommend to anyone

The gentleman that served us couldn't speak English and had to break the door into the office to get our key even though he had a set of keys with him. The people staying into the cabin next to us where told a key would be left out only to come home at 1.30am and couldn't get into his room. My husband had to take out the fly screen so him & his wife could get into the room

We arrived early has I had rung the day before because we had a wedding no one there I rang to organise our room from the wedding and when we got back to accommodation it was all locked up nothing from the owners it was really bad communication

Overall a cute old place, but overpriced for what you get. The accommodation is nice enough, but I feel that it was misleading. We stayed in the spa room. There is no heating (except heat lights in the bathroom) and only a fan in the main room so I imagine you could be very uncomfortable in summer. The staff did bring us 2 doonas to use which was nice. There is no refrigerator or microwave-which it never claimed to have; but that is not always listed. The website says the restaurant serves breakfast and lunch Saturday and Sunday. There is even a menu on the website. But apparently they do not do breakfast anymore (I don’t know if they even do lunch) so they really need to update the website!! The bed was comfortable, the room was cute and clean, the spa worked. The staff were nice, just not easily found and there are very limited check in hours. I think we may have been the only guests so we had a lovely quiet rest!

very disappointing .milk out of date .no blankets so I was cold .kitchen was closed they didn't tell us .The place falling down .Paided to much for what we got .

Nice location, with magic view from the cafe. Accommodation is a donga/portable dwelling. Very small, not suitable for chubby people as the ensuite is also very small. O.k. if you need to sleep only, The bed was very hard and the slat had come off, so we had to lift the mattress and fix. We got a cheaper rater through hotels.com however, I pity the people that pay the full rate of $150 p.n!

If you want to get away from the hussle and bustle of city life The accomodation is quaint and sweet and just perfect for a relaxing weekend .There is not much to do at night on the premises as it is a distance from the shops

Not a good hotel. Hotel is not close to public transport or shopping center. No reception service.

Room was adequate, although it smelt damp/mouldy. Wind was blowing branches onto the roof/walls and was noisy. Food at restaurant was great.

On this occasion, the hotel was not exactly how I expected from the brochure. I was concerned to arrive outside the advertised check-in times, but found the main reception was still staffed. The 'rooms' are basically sheds, albeit equipped with everything you need for a stay - fridge, air conditioning, comfortable bed and bathroom - however, the advertised wifi did not work and was never repaired and guests were reduced to sitting outside the main lodge if they wished to communicate with the outside world. Despite being a 15 minute drive from civilisation, the area goes very cold at night - and I got a lizard in my room which proved impossible to remove. On the first night, I managed to get a drink, but on the other two, there were no staff to be seen and the main lodge was kept locked. Overall, I was happy to pay extra as the advert made the place appear luxurious, and it looked nicer than the Gold Coast - but ultimately, would not recommend. Staff (those who could speak English) were friendly when you could find them, but this was not often. This place is essentially self-catering.

Our well appointed room looked over the Gold Coast from the height of the hinterland. Surrounded by gorgeous natural growth forest made for a fantastic location.

Nice and quiet. Close to Gallery Walk. Clean and tidy room.

great area of natural beauty. Stayed one night. comfortable but basic. Expected air con and wifi but did no have

Beautiful room in heart of Mt Tambourine. Close to all the beautiful walks and wineries. Only thing we missed was a kitchen - this was more bed and breakfast accommodation but we weren't offered a breakfast option. It didn't ruin our experience though it was a lovely stay

Our stay at Hilltop was great. The room was nice and clean and the hotel cafe was really good with brilliant views. The hotel is about 5 minutes out of central Tamborine but I liked that aspect because it felt like a quiet retreat.

Inside room queen bee was super uncomfortable, squeaky springs and we kept rolling in to the middle. We both woke with bad backs. The staff are lovely and the breakfast was fantastic. Such a shame about the bed!

It is not good when you think that you booking a somewhat luxuries Cabin and you turn up to find that it is only a standard DONGA!!!

Superb. Great views, great food, great service, comfy room/bed, nice balcony. Highly recommend for a great time away in the mountains.

A great b'n'b style getaway for couples who are looking for some quiet time away from the buzz of daily life.
