    The heated pool could be a bit warmer.

    It was in a really nice area with a fantastic view. The bed was really comfortable, and it was a nice space.

    May the bedroom was a little cramped

    Premise was lovely and well maintained a little difficult to locate but location very tranquil Ideal if you have 3 couples travelling together you would book all threes bedrooms and have the hole house to yourself

    Paper thin walls, you can hear everything. The birds in the middle of the nice who make the noise of a woman screaming. Or maybe all you people who want to visit a haunted house should visit this one! Lots of noises and bumbs in the night. Go explore!

    Beautiful first accidentally booking a shared accommodation. The view, the house, the staff, loved it. Easy to find. Up the gravel road to the end. Keys on instructions were easy to collect. The cleaner was nice and did a through clean. Walking tracks, kitchen.

    Hard to find. Went to other Rainfirest Summit B & B and up and down Riad looking foraccommodation from address given by Booking.com. Eventually found it but up a gravel Riad. Needs a sign at bottom of Riad.

    Great view over Atherton. Kitchen well equipped. Comfortable beds.

    Had booked a triple room with a double and a single bed for my daughter and I, was then told I had an upgrade to where we both had single beds. Being 6 foot 3 is not the most suited for a single bed. From 4am there were some extremely loud and strange noises coming from all around the place which made sleeping even more difficult.

    Location was superb, amenities were great. Everything we required to cook was present, would have loved to have the opportunity to use the spa but previous commitments prevented us from doing so. It was such a beautiful looking place and the views were breathtaking.

    The pantry room at the Summit did not match the website photos. It was too small, no fridge, No hanging space. Obviously set up for back packers, not people in their 70s. Thankfully Paula changed us to the Blue Gum B & B. Top marks to Paula. My feedback is for the Blue Gum. Pantry had no ensuite. Communal fridge and kitchen. Pantry : bathroom in another room , the size of a broom cupboard. The Summit had spectacular views. The pantry room is well-named. Just a double decker bed and a fan. Ladder to the top bunk.

    Breakfast not included.

    We travelled there as 3 families and lucky enough to get the room with conference facilities. We were able to use it as a venue to have joint family meals. It was great.

    Confusing finding it as it led up a dirt road( no problem ) but when we got to the top we thought we were at a Telstra tower until we went to turn around. Glad it wasn’t dark as one guest experienced. Appears to be no solar light over the key box with map of rooms. Signage at beginning over Dirt Road definitely needed. Our room, The Fern, needed a bench to put cases on as not everyone can keep bending down.

    Position , privacy away from noise etc.
