Hotels Near Thunderegg Crystal Mine in Mount Tamborine

The treehouse itself was spacious and comfortable. I definitely think a small kitchenette would make the space so much better, it is advertised as a rainforest “retreat” yet there are absolutely no facilities to cook or prepare even a basic meal. So you constantly had to leave the treehouse to get something to eat. Again the space was beautiful and the area was peaceful. I would strongly discourage anyone from adding any of the additional packages they offer. We went here for a small mini honeymoon. We got the romantic upgrade hoping to do something special… basically paid $130 for someone to poor water in the bath, drop some fake flowers and give us a bottle of bubbly. It was advertised as this grand extra- however was average at best. We went to the restaurant for dinner, the food was great so we thought, unfortunately my partner and I both got horrible runs from the crab we had and spent our first there basically on the toilet. We thought we maybe just had a bad run, we booked a couples massage, while pretty expensive it was a lovely experience. The therapist were professional and did a great job. Lastly, we had booked a beautiful picnic in the avocado orchard, it was an okay spread. However definitely took the romance out of the experience when while we were trying to have a nice relaxing picnic together, had one of the maintenance men walking around with a leaf blower, basically just blowing dust towards us and into the food. We couldn’t really talk over the sound. The breakfast provided was okay, it was average- definitely still left you a little hungry but it was enough to fill the hole until lunch. Overall I think we were disappointed, we couldn’t afford a big honeymoon but still wanted to treat ourselves at least a little bit. I think Pethers is all about over promising and under delivering. In hindsight, I think we would have preferred to book an airbnb and save our money.

We stayed for 3 nights at this very unique accommodation. The photos are absolutely accurate and the property is even more wonderful in person. It is located a very short drive from both the North Tambourine shops and the more touristy Gallery Walk. We stayed in the downstairs room at the back of the property which was a very simple room with King bed and ensuite/spa. It was spotlessly clean and it looked out to the incredible tropical garden. There was a common lounge nicely decorated with a Scottish theme and Nespresso coffee and tea always available for guests, The hosts were polite and there if needed by ringing a little bell, but otherwise left us alone to enjoy the property as if it was our own home. Highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Mount Tambourine.
