If I could pay a premium price to google reviews and give the Verandah house a sixth and seventh star, I would not hesitate. Sweeping views of the rolling scenic rim mountains, immaculately maintained grounds, and a family of staff that make you truely feel at home. As a newly wed couple our senses were already heightened, but as we [...]

Brilliant! Felt like I was in heaven. Beautiful grounds, stylish accommodation, great hosts I liked Absolutely Everything ! In particular the view, comfortable room, beautiful décor, delish breakfast and outdoor kitchens with filtered still and sparkling water on tap, so no need to buy plastic bottles which is a huge bonus. Hosts Judy and Laurie are lovely:-) There wasn't anything [...]

HIGHLY recommend you stay here. We stayed at Verandah House for four nights for our honeymoon and it was the perfect place for this special occasion. The fresh breakfast box everyday morning was delicious and Judy would be walking around making sure everyone had their barista made morning coffee. We used the pizza ovens for 2 of our nights which [...]

I enjoyed the most remarkable experience at Verandah House Country Estate, Mount Tamborine. This place in a class of its own. The attention to detail is staggering.

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 [...]

We'd intended staying on the Gold Coast but the mixed reviews of hotels triggered a re-think. We'd never been to Tamborine Mountain but when we read the reviews for VH Country Estate, we questioned ourselves to whether time in the general area actually meant being down in the 'Surfers' area. We're sure glad we kept an open mind and trusted [...]

“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.
