Songbirds Rainforest Retreat

Booked this trip as an anniversary gift to my sister and her partner. As mentioned upon booking confirmation check in is only until 4pm. Was disappointed to find out that the property didn't even make an effort to contact the guests (eventho local number was provided) when they were only 15 minutes delayed. As an establishment, you should at least try and contact guests who have a pre-paid booking before clocking out. I feel like a failure to do so is just lazy and unprofessional. Definitely would not recommend.

While the natural surroundings of Songbirds Rainforest Hotel are certainly stunning, the lack of cleanliness and personal service overshadowed some of the positive aspects. Location is great but not much more. Hope they can improve it as the potential is there.

The property is run down. The entrance is via a steep 4WD style road. Not well signposted- easy to miss the entrance. The roads within the property are loose gravel. We couldn't drive our car to the villa- parked about 150 metres away, and carted our luggage to the villa. At night, no lighting from the villa to our car. The breakfast delivered to the villa at 8.45 am- no earlier- was deplorable and overpriced. Small containers of corn flakes- emptied from a larger container, some fruit, small pieces of bacon, wrapped in waxed baking paper, a couple of crumpets, and juice that had been emptied from a larger container- unlabelled. Coffee- make it yourself in the villa. The breakfast was totally inadequate for two people. There only seemed to be one woman working there- service is limited. The room was clean and tidy. In view of our experience, we won't be going back there, it's overpriced ,and we wouldn't recommend it-

Had a fabulous weekend away with friends. We stayed in the 2 bedroom Executive Villa which was well-designed and perfect for sharing. We requested the two king size beds to be split into 4 x singles so everyone had their own space. Everything was set up ready when we arrived, and Debbie was so welcoming when we checked in. We spent the afternoon on the huge veranda surrounded by rainforest, relaxing with wine, cheese and good company. Then a couple of minutes walk through the rainforest following a pathway lit with lights, across a picturesque foot bridge to the on-site restaurant. We had a beautiful dinner (the seafood chowder was the best!). Back to the villa, drinks and laughs in front of the fireplace then off to sleep in the serenity of the rainforest (definitely didn’t miss the snoring from our husbands haha!). Next morning such a beautiful surprise, Debbie arrived in a buggy to deliver two complimentary breakfast baskets. The homemade frittata and banana bread was still warm and delicious. We created some lovely memories and thought it was the perfect stay. Thank you!

Had a lovely stay at songbirds. staff were nice enough to let us shift our stay to the following weekend after some car issues, this was a lifesaver after a troubling weekend. The villa was spacious, and we had a great dinner at the restaurant.

My partner and I decided to make a trip out of the city to Mount Tamborine for a night. We stayed at Songbirds and it was just a lovely stay! Had a great visit to the restaurant where the chef makes you feel at home. Great stay in the villa, and had such a fun morning feeding the alpacas and walking around the property. Will definitely go back!

The scenery is the star here. The cabins are surrounded by rainforest and the sound of birdsong can be heard all day. The accommodation is spacious and very comfortable, including a deck on which to lounge and soak up the ambience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed mid-week so the restaurant on site wasn't open, but its only a sort drive to various places to dine.

The cabin was well appointed and the reception was very helpful. We arrived late and it was a challenge to find the right cabin in the dark as the numbers were not lit. Besides that minor area for improvement Songbirds is a fabulous escape in the rainforest. Very private. Well heated.

Blown away with how wonderful this place is. It seemed like we had the entire place to ourselves. Nestled away in the rainforest it was the most relaxing night away we have ever had away. We requested an indoor spa and log fireplace of which both our requests were met. Everything you could think of they had provided down to the mosquito coils to keep the little suckers away. It was beautiful walking through the lush gardens up to the animals, llamas, goats and even peacocks. We dinned at the restaurant which was fantastic the food is to die for. We were even treated to a complimentary breakfast basket delivered to our door the next morning. The food was amazing! If it could rate it higher I would. Thank you very much!
