5 night's stay..The room was amazing,only let down was the option of being able to close a curtain or blinds. It is nice to awake to the forest but very bright as it has not curtain or blinds ,staff are awesome, breakfast was served every morning.

Amazing room with beautiful view of the rainforest from the king sized bed. Loved the spa and in-room massage available. A very relaxing place to stay, enjoyed the different wildlife wandering around. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Pethers was not a five star property more like a two star, no communication between staff, bathroom very dirty. Stands out they are trying to save money, breakfast was very poor, you get more breakfast at mcdonalds. Needs updating. Their are also no views as advertised. New owners need to look at the standards they could create a perfect oasis, instead of running it on a shoe string.

When you arrive to your secluded retreat, you become immersed in a rainforest experience. Fireplace and just as a required backup ( aircon) , the GORGOUS comfy bed and of course the spa bath all added to our wonderful experience. We always call to this relaxing retreat in winter and so the times here are always cosy and cute. The BREAKY basket left at your door was spot on with cereals, juice, quich and toast and jams was a delight. Well done to the team at PETHERS, we will be back.

My partner and I enjoyed a beautiful stay at Pethers for a mini vacation. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was stunning and the complementary bubbles, chocolate and breakfasts were so good. Just a short stroll to restaurants if you don’t feel like driving. Couldn’t recommend a stay at Pethers more. Thanks so much!

Really beautiful, clean, well furnished cabin. Gas fireplace was very romantic and practical. Along with the reverse cycle air-con, we were never bothered by the cool August climate outside. King sized bed and linen were very comfortable. We slept well! Spa bath worked well and we never ran short of hot water. All in all a very quiet, private and romantic adventure. Only stayed 2 nights and didn't want to leave! Highly recommend! AAA+++

Perfect hinterland getaway!
Rooms were extremely spacious with very high ceilings and floor to ceiling glass, making you feel like you were really sleeping in the rain forest. High quality antique style furnishings were a nice touch and in-room spa was perfectly set up with a large viewing window. Quality of food was good by room service standards. Very little phone reception and no wifi in rooms so just come prepared. Would definitely stay again.

Stunning location and the room is fantastic. We will definitely come back to this place. Heaps of nature, calm and quiet place; breakfast basket is a nice detail, the restaurant is worth booking for dinner. The location couldn't be more strategic, easy access to Brisbane or Gold Coast, and the rainforest provides plenty of activities worth doing (walks, zip lines, restaurants ...). Staff is very friendly and professional, we were looked after. Highly recommended!

Rainforest Retreat
From our early check-in to our late checkout Pethers was a wonderful get away for a couple of nights. From the friendly staff to the stunning tree house with beautiful views. Dinner in the restaurant was superb and the breakfast hampers delivered to our room each morning was yummy. Champagne and chocolate on arrival and a surprise massage booked by for my wifes birthday made it all the more special.

Perfect escape to a rainforest retreat
A unique location in a rainforest setting. Perfect for our honeymoon destination. Very friendly and helpful staff. Local activities were great if you like short walks in a forest environment but not much else going on which is fine if you just want to get away. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. The tree house was large and delivery of breakfast every morning to the door was well received!
