Inside you quickly see the namesake St Bernard dogs who own the joint, which their own room and freedom to roam around. Inside it felt like a traditional British style pub with a good selection of beer and food. We only got drinks out, with the real draw being the patio out back that overlooks the mountains and valleys beyond. There were paths below and gardens with flowers too. Clearly this is the most popular area as they had lots of tables of varying sizes and many happy parties enjoying the view too. There were also many amazing birds flying around and perching on the railings. If you're nearby, this is a great spot. I'm sure it'd be fun to stay at the hotel too.

Great place! Friendly staff and beautiful views. Menu offers many options. I had the Guinness meat…read morepie and it did not disappoint.

I always dread the drive up mount tamborine, I have always been a nervous passenger, but add to…read morethat the winding and turning hill climb late at night with fog and all, and there's nowhere else I would want to be than in my bed in my room at the tamborine motel! We stay up here at the same time every year for the last three years. And love it every time!! Location - right next door to St Bernard's, so you can always get a decent steak, and some plonk from bottle shop, and get to cuddle a gorgeous St. Bernard!! What more can you ask for! Try and get a room on the second floor to really enjoy the view. There's nothing like waking up and looking out to the dewy beauty of mount tamborine, makes that deadly drive totally worth it Oh and did I mention HEATED BLANKETS!! The couple who run it are lovely, approachable and friendly, and will go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable, There's a pool, but man. It's so cold up there that the only people who swim are drunks bomb diving at 3am on a dare :)

The Beaudesert Hotel is an Art Deco MASTERPIECE!!! Thank God…read moreit has never suffered from a wrong-headed refurbishment!! Beautiful plaster mouldings and just an orgasmic sense of majestic dimensions. The building is a triumph of passive temperature control because of it's very mass... I have often stayed in the GENEROUS upstairs rooms, a real delight at rock-bottom prices. No air-conditioning; but it's just not needed! Great views from the balcony onto the quiet main street at night.

Staying in the Sky Lodges was an amazing experience. As is the many bush walking tracks. Where…read morepossible would suggest packing all your own food and drink to take advantage of the cooking facilities. Would strongly recommend avoiding the lodge restaurant and tea house as the view is the main attraction over the food quality and price. Comment from another visitor 'a long way from international standards if you are trying to attract tourist'. Easy opportunity to improve before the Commonwealth Games.

What is it about Mount Tamborine and rude staff?…read more This little gem had an awesome beer garden with a wonderful view to the Gold Coast skyline and coast. Lots of beers to choose from but make sure you make your decision quickly as the lady behind the bar was an impatient biatch. Clearly, she wasn't enjoying the view. Lots of native wildlife around here which also made it a lovely spot to stop for an afternoon beer.

The world of hospitality isn't an exact science. Sometimes orders go to plan, other times orders…read moreget missed and punters are left waiting. The important thing is honesty and communication. Unfortunately at this hotel they think lying to you and being rude is the best form of customer service. So when we ordered 4 kids meals and 4 adults meals I don't think that expecting them to come, say within an hour of each other, would be to unrealistic. Actually I'd go so far too say, based on 30 years in the industry, that half an hour might be more realistic. However in this case it was 2 hours. Yep, 2 hours between first 2 kids meals and last 2 adult meals. WTF. That's not the worst part. Clearly they stuffed the order. It happens. But getting lied to by the manager in the white shirt , and having it implied we should have ordered earlier and that's it's coming in 5 minutes( we ordered at 12:30, ate at 2:30) is really , well, amateur, childish , rude and pathetic. No sorry, no honesty, just ass covering. Take your $30 thin overcooked tbone and shove it. Never again. Go to St Bernards hotel instead. They actually care there. The band was good though.

My favourite place to stay at Mt Tamborine. The views are breathtaking.read more
