Was an interesting experience. When booking it said this place had a great rating but when we arrived and researched more about the place, it seemed like pasts guests had similar experiences. When we arrived there was no reception, we didn't really know where to enter into and whether or not we were at the right place. We finally found someone and got put into a room without much conversation such as to where things were in relation to the hotel. After we went into our room there seemed to be no staff in sight. There wasn't a great deal of facilities in the room (fridge, microwave), there didn't seem to be a great deal of privacy with other guests for example, shared balconies that could look into other rooms and the walls were extremely thin. The place didn't seem take advantage of the beautiful function room that was advertised as an opportunity to get breakfast. I think that with a bit of a clean up, this could be an amazing place. However, the view was incredible. They had a beautiful church out the front. Quite a hassle to get to initially but surprisingly central to everything and close to where we needed to go. Good last minute booking for only one night.

Accommodation
The gentleman that served us couldn't speak English and had to break the door into the office to get our key even though he had a set of keys with him. The people staying into the cabin next to us where told a key would be left out only to come home at 1.30am and couldn't get into his room. My husband had to take out the fly screen so him & his wife could get into the room

Cute clean room but lacked facilities
Overall a cute old place, but overpriced for what you get. The accommodation is nice enough, but I feel that it was misleading. We stayed in the spa room. There is no heating (except heat lights in the bathroom) and only a fan in the main room so I imagine you could be very uncomfortable in summer. The staff did bring us 2 doonas to use which was nice. There is no refrigerator or microwave-which it never claimed to have; but that is not always listed. The website says the restaurant serves breakfast and lunch Saturday and Sunday. There is even a menu on the website. But apparently they do not do breakfast anymore (I don’t know if they even do lunch) so they really need to update the website!! The bed was comfortable, the room was cute and clean, the spa worked. The staff were nice, just not easily found and there are very limited check in hours. I think we may have been the only guests so we had a lovely quiet rest!

Very ordinary
Nice location, with magic view from the cafe. Accommodation is a donga/portable dwelling. Very small, not suitable for chubby people as the ensuite is also very small. O.k. if you need to sleep only, The bed was very hard and the slat had come off, so we had to lift the mattress and fix. We got a cheaper rater through hotels.com however, I pity the people that pay the full rate of $150 p.n!

Good Food/Adequate Room
Room was adequate, although it smelt damp/mouldy. Wind was blowing branches onto the roof/walls and was noisy. Food at restaurant was great.

Basic, Spartan, Unsure where the staff are
On this occasion, the hotel was not exactly how I expected from the brochure. I was concerned to arrive outside the advertised check-in times, but found the main reception was still staffed. The 'rooms' are basically sheds, albeit equipped with everything you need for a stay - fridge, air conditioning, comfortable bed and bathroom - however, the advertised wifi did not work and was never repaired and guests were reduced to sitting outside the main lodge if they wished to communicate with the outside world. Despite being a 15 minute drive from civilisation, the area goes very cold at night - and I got a lizard in my room which proved impossible to remove. On the first night, I managed to get a drink, but on the other two, there were no staff to be seen and the main lodge was kept locked. Overall, I was happy to pay extra as the advert made the place appear luxurious, and it looked nicer than the Gold Coast - but ultimately, would not recommend. Staff (those who could speak English) were friendly when you could find them, but this was not often. This place is essentially self-catering.

Our well appointed room looked over the Gold Coast from the height of the hinterland. Surrounded by gorgeous natural growth forest made for a fantastic location.

Beautiful room in heart of Mt Tambourine. Close to all the beautiful walks and wineries. Only thing we missed was a kitchen - this was more bed and breakfast accommodation but we weren't offered a breakfast option. It didn't ruin our experience though it was a lovely stay

Very nice stay
Our stay at Hilltop was great. The room was nice and clean and the hotel cafe was really good with brilliant views. The hotel is about 5 minutes out of central Tamborine but I liked that aspect because it felt like a quiet retreat.

Hilltop hide away
The owners were fantastic. Went over and above. The room was small and a flash 'donger' by all accounts. It was neat, tidy and clean however. Breakfast was great, good quality produce snd well cooked. This was at an additional cost as others have noted, but was great vslue still.
