If I could pay a premium price to google reviews and give the Verandah house a sixth and seventh star, I would not hesitate.

Wow what an amazing place to unwind and connect with nature and the outdoors. The rooms are spacious and stunning with super comfortable beds, but the estate is too beautiful to stay inside for long!

The most beautiful place ever. But what was so special about this place was the service.

Verandah House is just perfection on the mountain. The property has the most breathtaking views over the hinterland valley and the Gold Coast ... no photos do it justice!

Simply paradise. Incredible attention to detail with the decor - country feel, homely, incredibly comfortable (the beds felt like you were sleeping on a cloud).

The owners and the staff were very friendly [...]

If there was a way to give Verandah House more than 5 stars, I would. From our arrival I felt like I had stepped into a magazine. The grounds are beautiful and so well cared.
