Great location, wonderful location and host, would recommend for any getaway or relaxing holiday.

Martin Australia

The accommodation was the most equipped place that we have ever stayed in. Jason didn't forget anything. He was also very obliging - helping with setting up the fire, carrying luggage etc.

Roslyn Australia

Jason was such a thoughtful & gracious host. He went above and beyond to make our first wedding anniversary incredibly comfortable and memorable. He provided us with fantastic facilities, restaurant recommendations & the tastiest freshly baked scones on arrival. Can’t wait to return for another stay!

Patty Australia

Tunnel Ridge Outlook accommodation is a great location in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Whether you wish to be active and take in all the local sights, sounds and food options or spend quiet time to enjoy the view, the pool and gardens, Tunnel Ridge Outlook is a great place for all activities. The home baked scones with jam and cream on arrival set the scene for an enjoyable stay. Jason is a great host, full of local knowledge about events, locations, and local eateries. We were lucky enough to enjoy a free local choral musical event at Mooloolah Public Hall. Looking forward to our next visit as it would be a great location to experience in all seasons. Thank you Jason and Lawrence.

Mark Australia

Met personally by owner. Easy and friendly with an overview of the apartment. Jason and Lawrence are wonderful, generous and thoughtful hosts.

Lauren Australia

The Host was extremely generous with fresh scones jam and cream on arrival. The pantry was very well stocked with many varieties of tea and coffee and chai. It was quiet and the outlook over the trees to the dam was so tranquil. Huge ensuite, beautiful leather lounges, large rooms and outside area with bbq and all you could ask for. The pool was available and warm. The entire stay was so very good. Would recommend it to anyone looking for some tranquility and a refreshing of spirit, soul and body.

Debbie Australia

The unit was clean and had everything you could need and more the pool and gardens were lovely and our host Jason was really lovely.

Miriam Australia

Just like staying in a Mountain Retreat, the views were spectacular, the landscaping on the property faultless, surrounded by superb rainforest it was so wonderful, staying in such a beautiful natural environment, I let go of all stress and felt totally relaxed as soon as I sat down with a cuppa tea and two delicious home made scones, compliments of the host Jason, whom was perhaps the most organised, helpful, friendliest and nicest host i have ever met. The accommodation was impeccable, the location stunning and accommodation exceptionally good value for money!

James Australia

Great for an escape from the rat race. Great Internet and facilities. Close to Hinterland villages and Glasshouse Mountains attractions. Jason's scones are not to be missed.

Angie Australia

Great view. Breakfast was fine. Very comfortable. Easy to find.

WE HAVE JUST REOPENED ON THE 26TH OCTOBER 2022. Tunnel Ridge Outlook is situated on the highest ridge off Tunnel Ridge Road. We offer an exclusive apartment on the ground floor of our house, with magnificent views from your patio windows onto your deck in a resort style setting, with swimming pool and grounds. Your apartment is air conditioned, spacious and has a fully fitted kitchen, with full cooking facilities and BBQ outside. The bedroom looks out to the deck and pool and bush and sea views in the distance. We offer a peaceful and quiet location for those who want to get away from it all. During the Winter months we provide you with free logs for the wood burner for sitting in and relaxing at night. (if your looking at the property on Google Maps, the outside road image is before March 2014 and not how we look now, dont you just love Google lol!
We moved to Australia back in 2014 and decided to live and work in the area we fell in love with back in 2006; Mooloolah Valley. Jason has worked in hospitality for over 27 years, managing hotels and events, most recently working for the Royal British Legion Poppy Breaks. When looking for a property to buy, we looked for somewhere we'd want to share with guests. Tunnel Ridge Outlook, with its spectacular views, lovely gardens, resort style entertainment area and swimming pool and independant guest accomodation within easy reach of all the Sunshine Coast has to offer was the perfect spot for Jason to start doing what he loves: gardening and entertaining guests!
Mooloolah is situated on the Sunshine Coast and our property looks out to the Ewan Maddock Dam and bush and then out to sea. From Tunnel Ridge Outlook, the beaches are located 20 minutes away in Caloundra or further afield in Mooloolabah. You are also in a short driving distance to Maleny and Montville and Australia Zoo. We are also very handy if you are attending Chenrezig Institute (Buddhist Retreat) and make an ideal base for anyone attending a course at the Institute but wanting more luxury and comfort. We also work with our partners at Tunnel Ridge Ranch and can offer you horse riding in the beautiful National Park on our doorstep In the summer months Ewan Maddock Dam is the place to go for a nice cool swim or even to catch a fish for tea.
