Nice country retreat. Dan was very welcoming. The room was well eqipped, but the internet was next to useless - don't plan on working remotely. Our room was a little dreary, some bright colours would cheer it up. There was a nauseating chemical smell in the bathroom - overzealous cleaning? Loved the wallabies

Shabby chic - breakfast excellent - a bit too shabby - but comfortable.
Wallaby Ridge Retreat was a beautiful serene spot overlooking the valley, with a spa, pool and peace and quiet. A few of the wallabies were roaming around. Dan the manager was very helpful on hand for anything you needed. The little town of Canungra is close by with coffee shops etc. I would definitely recommend this lovely place. Thanks Dan for a lovely stay.
Very special place to unwind and enjoy the nature. Wallabies are so cute and come to graze in the vineyard in the morning. Not far from spectacularly beautiful rainforests, waterfalls, wildlife in the national parks. Dan, our host was so kind and gracious- ask him more about local hikes and places to go. The place has everything you need - laundry, stove, fridge , microwave, even pool and jacuzzi under the stars. Just remember things shut down early out there so go to the local IGA early - they had delicious Mangoes, berries, watermelon and salads as well as other foods and goods. Lots of cute restaurants and shops in Mt Tambourine area but they close early. Sunset and hang glider lookout is a must! Bring your own dinner/drinks and a blanket for an amazing evening. Thanks again Dan!

Beautiful property. Wallabies and many native birds. The hot tub is situated surrounded by bush and beautiful views
What we really liked was very cosy and very quiet great views of the hot air balloons in the valley the wallabies at your door.
And Dan the caretaker was absolutely great very helpful.
Will be staying there again for sure.
Lovely location. Beautiful outlook from our deck. Unit had everything we needed. Dan was really welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. A great place to stay and good value for money.
Very relaxing two night stay in one of the two eco villa's. Perfect for a couples getaway. Very comfortable bed and the villa was spotless. Loved the wallabies and very friendly kookaburras. A great location if wanting to explore parts of the scenic rim.
The rooms were very sound proof,and the breakfast things in the room were wonderful, the view was amazing, and having a self contained kitchen was wonderful.
My partner and I only stayed for a few days, though it felt like we were there for longer as it was such a treat. Dan was great, he showed us around the property and gave us a nice welcome, the cabin was clean and had amazing views. There was fresh bread and continental cereal for breakfast. As you drive into the property you will be meet by a beautiful long winding road that will take you up the hill to see the wallabies and vine yard before the reception. We would highly recommend the stay at wallaby ridge!!
OMG this was the most relaxing weekend away, it was hidden on a ridge full of wallabies hopping around in the serenity of the bush land. The eco villa was so comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a weekend away, the layout of the villa uses the space so well you feel it is huge inside. The lovely gentleman that shows you around is absolutely delightful. Trust me the spa was the perfect temperature of warm bubbling water especially for a night treat after a long day exploring the Mountain.
Lovely peaceful location with scenic views.
Only one negative, the patio could have been more private.
Breakfast provisions were good as was the service
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wallaby Ridge Retreat. It was the most peaceful idyllic location, not too far from everything. The rooms and grounds were so beautiful, very well furnished. The sumptuous breakfast was a wonderful start to the day. Robyn and John were so helpful, we can't wait for another excuse to get away from it all to Wallaby Ridge Retreat :-)
The facilities were very good. Our room had a comfortable king sized bed with a lounge room and kitchenette. Generous provisions for breakfast. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.
We really had a fabulous stay. The breakfast was yummy, the spa wonderful, the room and main lounge were so well presented. We loved going into this area at night as the fire was always on and surrounds so comfortable.
The hosts were delightful. Nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to get back for another holiday.
Hosts were welcoming and friendly. The place was very well kept with a lot of artistic touches all around the property. Lovely porches with amazing views!!
