Lovely bush settings, great breakfast, great host
We stayed for 5 nights up in the Gold Coast hinterland and loved the experience, waking up to the birds, the chickens, and the horse. Had a lovely homemade breakfast each morning made by Belinda the host with her homemade bread, butter, jam, and muffins. Absolutely delightful and we would stay again.

Serene mountain top location
We had the most wonderful experience. Our host Belinda was lovely and nothing was to much trouble. The breakfasts were delightful with homemade foods. She even went to the trouble of cooking all our meals without egg to cater for my son's allergy. Roasting marshmallows on the camp fire, hiking and feeding the animals was a high light for my children. It was lovely sitting in the massage chair looking out over the mountains. The homemade body products smelt divine. A really wonderful experience.

A wonderful homely retreat - great for families
A retreat from technology, our kids were occupied by the farm animals and the pool to even remember their devices. Just what we needed for a short break close to home.

Quiet rustic getaway.
We were upgraded to a full bedroom rather than two singlebed sleepout. Which was well appreciated as sleepout receives full western sun. Belinda n son Teyden were very welcoming n vivacious. A meal is avail onsite at reasonable prices. Well worth it as u sit out on the deck overlooking bushland n not many choices to eat at Canungra, 10min drive. The property has all manner of farm animals - goats cows horse chickens - all very well looked after. The breakfast is homemade museli freshly baked bread n muffins plus yoghurt. Cooked breakfast extra. Pleasant stay for quiet getaway in amongst the Aust bushscape.

Rustic Charm
We were warmly welcomed to Pearl of Contentment Retreat which is set in the bush at Canungra. Our room was light and comfortable. The retreat has pets - horse, cow, goat, sheep, chooks. We dined on the verandah looking out over the bush as the sun set. Our host provided very generous vegetarian meals - entree stuffed mushrooms, main meals lasagne and ravioli, dessert dark chocolate boat with berries on board with home-made ice-cream. We did not go to sleep hungry. This is a B&B so then had a lovely breakfast with freshly baked bread.

Verified traveller

Liked: Staff & service
Stay was peaceful. Treatments were amazing. Treatment rooms should be a little more cozy comforting. Share bathroom for a retreat probably not ok. The decription of retreat should be more detailed. Signage at the front enterance should be bigger. Carparking facilities could be better and just general tidiness where construction is happening.
