The wonderful surrounding botanical gardens, alongside a very welcoming host with exceptional specialist knowledge on his tropical garden. We really enjoyed our stay here and especially Peter’s guided tour of this wonderful garden. A fabulous retreat.. thank you Maria & family

The lodge was very comfortable and Peter was a wonderful host taking us on tours around the amazing gardens and explaining the many rare plants and their history’s. At night Peter took us out to see the frogs and wildlife around the pond. We had a nice splash in the salt water pool as well and was greeted by a large green frog.

The host, Peter went above and beyond to make sure we were welcomed and comfortable. Peter then took the time to show my family and I around his gorgeous cycad gardens and also took us searching for frogs in the evening it was such a wonderful stay!

Erin Austrália

Peter was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the gardens and especially the cycads. Check in was easy and the hosts were very welcoming. The garden was a piece of paradise, and something that is extremely memorable, especially being able to learn and see the rare plants that Peter had painstakingly collected and grown. Highly recommended!

Listening to nature and hearing zero cars! A peaceful stay, and the owner Peter happy to take us on a tour around his ancient gardens.

Highlight is staying amidst the amazing gardens on the property. For us it was a very convenient stopping point to access and visit our friends in the Sunshine Coast area. Very quiet location and hosts were separate and private to accommodation. Villa is basic but has all amenities you need. Great to be able to bring our dog.

The ancient gardens were just fantastic and the pool was lovely, but our host, Peter absolutely made the weekend!

Melissa Austrália

Peter was very accommodating and gave freely off his time to help us. He is a kind man and patiently explained about the various exotic plants in his garden. He generously allowed us to check in early and then gave us ideas to facilitate our holiday. I will be back!

Everything! The rainforest setting as you descend into the valley, the warm and friendly feel of being greeted upon arrival, the house with its generous sized living space, 2 ensuites and fully equipped kitchen provided us with the perfect 'home-base' as we explored the sunny coast region. The gardens that sprawl over the property with its many paths winding through the forest, the pond complete with frogs on lily pads, the sounds of giant bamboo knocking together in the breeze. The tours of the garden, one at night and one during the day were very informative and an experience we will never forget.
