Confusing check-in with 2 properties called the same name at 2 different locations. Some guests went to wrong accommodation not just in our group

Great quiet area in Atherton, easy drive down to the main town. Nestled on the side of a hill had a great view from the balcony.
4.0 / 5.0
We booked the whole house and had expectations that were not met. Generally the place was beautiful though.
First, my child wanted to use the advertised bunk bed, however, that room was locked off due to the numbers we booked for. This was not discussed with us at all. We're all friends/ family, but not everyone was in a couple to start with.
Second, and more disturbing for us all was that the "whole house" rental did NOT COME WITH TOWELS. The property covid cleaning info mentioned towels in the cleaning blurb, but that was apparently just copy-paste from the single room rentals. We searched high and low and could see some in a locked cupboard, but this detail was in an email that I'd been too busy pre-break to actually take in. A friend in Cairns broke into my home and grabbed enough towels for me and my guests, so our second night stay involved showers. I booked this for a relaxing weekend for my birthday and there was no sympathy from the owner/s. We were told that the local Target would sell us some.
Lastly, and I'm writing this review 2 years later... there was a separate unit underneath the "house", so even booking the "whole house" does not give sole use of the property outside of them locking away rooms.
It was definitely worth the visit. But this is feedback that's weighed on my mind for 2 years. We still randomly bring up the towel thing. Even a work client who was at the Yungaburra markets that weekend will mention it.
No shoes inside. Security cams outside.

We were downstairs in the Ulysses Room which was a beautifully finished but dark with absolutely no views. The large large double entrance doors at the foot of the bed were unusual.
There appears to be little or no noise insulation from the wooden floors above, allowing noise from movement of guests above.

Nice room needed a better shower head or pressure better settling on the verandah and cut down the rubbish trees so you could enjoy the views

The bed was so comfortable. No air con in the bedroom but a lovely heater was more than cosy.
2.0 / 5.0
We were happy with our choice of room. The rooms were clean and fresh.
The only fault I had was the shower head needs attention and a warm blanket would of been helpful as it was cold. The small quilt would of been for a single bed not a the king bed. ☺️

Went there for the views as per photos advertised, but those are just photoshopped :(

Gorgeous surroundings, check in instructions were clear but impersonal. Bed was comfy and shower has great water pressure. There was a rising damp smell in our room unfortunately - possibly due to the amount of rain the area has had lately, but could do with a good airing/drying out. Shared kitchen facilities were good and well organised.

High on a hill with sweeping verandahs, gentle breezes and rainforest views. A beautiful B & B. Spotlessly clean with very comfy beds and a nice cosy feel.
3.0 / 5.0
There were a few little things that made our stay less than ideal. No air con in the bedroom, decor was very plain, shower head was pretty lame, no wifi unless you pay extra and most windows don't have fly screens. The view from the verandah could be alot better, but instead you just have a wall of trees mostly, and out to one side you look out over the water tanks with a little pocket of view in the distance. The laundry is coin operated, which is just annoying, and you are not supposed to use it from 9-11am, which is inconvenient.
4.0 / 5.0
The property was perfect for our big family, big bedrooms with plenty of bathrooms, lovely big verandah with outdoor tables and chairs. Living areas were roomy too.
The couple of negatives for our stay were that we had to supply bath towels, the ventilation was poor, having to force windows open for fresh air, and the air-conditioning was unfortunately not working in the lounge area. One other negative was the laundry was only coin operated, which was tricky with young children and staying a week.
Otherwise it was a perfect house for our stay. Staff were very nice and helpful when we contacted them about a couple of issues.
Thankyou for having us, we did have a lovely visit.

Unfortunately too many cockroaches for me! I turned back the bed to find live cockroaches in the sheets. I was in the downstairs unit and you hear about of noise from upstairs footsteps.

Your venue was advertised as a bed and breakfast. But there was no breakfast, and when we called you, you did not respond. The beds were too soft. Overall, just an average experience, but a lot of disappointments.
3.0 / 5.0
This is not a B and B facility, no breakfast was provided, although Cont Breakfast could be provided for extra fee!! From the location and setting it appeared the stay would be nice and quiet. However the room was lower level with wooden floors above where other guests were quite noisy walking around all night and very early morning. Downstairs facilities were very good though. Other rooms had to share kitchen and lounge facilities, hence the continued noise. Would not stay again, have booked elsewhere for return trip.
3.0 / 5.0
Not quite what I expected. Was in great condition. But room was Spartan. One straight back wooden chair. A bed. Two bedside tables. That’s it. No seat to work at a bench table. No where to place my suitcase except the floor. Very small tv up in a corner. Hard to watch from bed without twisting my degenerate neck…communal areas the only place to try do some computer work. Not ideal. I would not stay here again. Cold. I was so cold. No heater. I slept in my clothes. Thin blanket doubled over me.

The description of this hotel makes it sound like breakfast is included, in fact it is only if paid for and ordered before 11am the day before. Everyone I met at the hotel was disgruntled to find this. The headline description also infers wifi and free laundry facilities, actually neither are free. In this day and age, free wifi is a basic facility. The room was also very basic, no headboard, no low lighting (bedside light), not even a picture on the wall! The description also states 'private balcony'. This is untrue as it is a wrap around balcony for everyone to use. As our room was at the top of the stairs next to the kitchen, there were constantly people walking past. There is no air conditioning either.

Very comfortable well appointed place. Lovely verandah for breakfast. Only drawback was extra cost for wifi, otherwise we would have stayed longer.

This is an unattended property. Think boarding house style with individual rooms but no host present. It was clean and tidy but there is a problem with plumbing that is constantly making a noise every 10 mins or so all through the night. Also other occupants that party could be an issue for some.
It’s difficult to police this when nobody is on site.
The rooms are very clean and for 1 night you can put up with it I suppose.
2.5 / 5.0
The property is lovely and easily accessible. The kitchen was good but needs to have some paper towels for your hands

If you like a lot of rules and regulations - this place is for you.
Don't move the furniture or you may incur a financial penalty.
Don't wear your shoes in the room or you may incur a financial penalty.

There was a problem with what we believed to be bedbugs biting us in the night. The owners declined to refund us the remainder of our trip after we left two nights early. We left them the bedbug we squished to examine and they disagreed with our assessment.

Our stay at Summit was just perfect. We came late at night about 9;30pm and it was cold outside and we were tired and when we opened our room and saw a lovely bed. Nice and cozy and clean. Had a beautiful shower and checked out the kitchen before going to bed. Everything was great, our room, our continental breakfast and the chat with the lovely owner when we were leaving. Only one negative comment i have to say is that i wish the check out time was 10am not 9.30am. That just takes the relaxness you have about being in this lovely place to not so nice because you have to rush and eat breakfast and clean up and get yourself ready and pack up and be out by 9.30am. But i would still give it a 10/10

We have stayed in Atherton 6 times in last 6 years and the Summit overshadows all the others. Lcoted high on a hill overlooking the town and surrounding landscape.
Modern decor with a well equipped kitchen for guest use. We will stay again next year.

In a quiet location away from the main streets. Breakfast is make your own from supplies meaning you can take your time. The hotel photos are an exact match of the facility with great timber floors well maintained.
2.5 / 5.0
The room is ver clean, the dining room and kitchen both are very spacious. If you only book one room, you might have to share kitchenette with other users. We are lucky enough to be the only 2 persons staying at the lodge of our booking date.
