“Dear Judy and the team at Verandah House Country Estate, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and sincere thanks for the wonderful experience I had at Verandah House Country Estate. The picturesque surroundings of Tamborine Mountain, coupled with the expert care and attention to detail from your staff made my visit so special. The spa treatments were indulgent and deeply rejuvenating, and what a magnificent view! We were truly spoilt. Verandah House Country estate is really something special and I will be raving about my experience to all my family, friends and colleagues.”

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! We loved hot tub jumping, the sauna, mineral pool and picnicking under the trees marvelling at the views. The staff are fantastic and welcoming and [...]
