Room was motel size with king size bed . They needed to get plumber as toilet was leaking .Bathroom heater was not working. Inadequate space to get a wheelchair in room..Main restaurant was nice and staff were great but food and wine over priced .Two coarse $89 three coarses $99. Per person. Would not go there again as disappointing weekend.

Hi Bob,Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback.It is really wonderful you found all of our team so friendly and great and enjoyed the beautiful main restaurant. I'm pleased to hear the team were able to fix the leaking toilet promptly. We do have a number of different room types available. The team would be more than happy to suggest something different for your next stay. Have a wonderful day.
This was a lovely place for a wedding destination.
I'm a foodie so don't head here for the food, head here for the views, comfortable rooms and lovely bush walks.

Hi,Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased to hear you loved the views, rooms and walks. I hope the wedding was fantastic and we look forward to welcoming you back to Hidden Vale sometime in the future.
We stayed in unit 1 which is one of three units in a cabin. Unfortuently the cabin is located 10 metres from the main restaurant which is very noisy. We could still hear people laughing and music playing until late and was woken up by guests eating their breakfast in the morning. We booked a king size bed and was provided with a queen instead only to be told the king is only a preference and not guaranteed. We woke up tired and exhausted with probably one of the worst night sleep in my life. Pretty ridiculous for $600 per night and very disappointing way to spend our wedding anniversary. The positives was the amazing food, views and polite staff. We have stayed in other Spicers before which were all top notch. We feel ripped off and we will not be back. Beware to anyone who gets allocated to units 1-3 because I hope you're a heavy sleeper.

Thank you very much for your review. We are so pleased you loved the location of Spicers Hidden Vale situated only 1 hour drive from Brisbane CBD and on 12,000 acres. We would love to welcome you back in the future.
We had a very relaxing few days here. The outstanding feature was the exceptional service from the staff, followed closely by the delicious food. The room was a bit small but it forced us to get outside and enjoy the different spaces on offer. The mattress was very soft and I would’ve preferred a firmer bed, but it was comfortable enough. The booking site said 2 king beds, but we were given 2 single beds so the site should be corrected to accurately reflect the accommodation. The pool areas were fabulous and the peace and tranquility made for a very relaxing stay
The whole experience was excellent. Views down the valley as the evening faded into night was a suburb way to enjoy a glass of wine to end the day. Service was great, everything was great and would recommend this place to all.

The infinity pool certainly does provide a stunning backdrop for long lunches at Homage restaurant.

The staff are fantastic..very friendly...the room was a little small,but you do get a verandah...views over the valley were beautiful...had a very relaxing massage....having grown up on a farm ,I loved the heritage feel of the property.
Beautiful farm-like property with amazing restaurant (the tasting menu with local produce is a must!), great walks, cycling tracks and other activities.
The staff were amazing, attentive and friendly. It was our tenth anniversary and they made us feel so special and gave us some treats including a room upgrade...the food was five star and we were proud to say we were locals as they used all local produce and had their own market garden. The luxury room was just that..spa bath, coffee machine, immaculate all the extras...we felt like royalty..we only spent one night but felt we had been relaxing for a weekend..
Highly recommend...we are certainly not going to travel foe hours when we have such a high class resort in our own back yard...we will definitely be returning for more special occasions...Loved it!!!!
From our first contact with Spicers Hidden Vale the service was superb, it couldn't have been better. The homestead as well as our accomodation was very comfortable, the food was amazing and we felt as though we had been there much longer than we were-it was very relaxing and all the staff very friendly. Highly recommended!
Beautiful place well kept, friendly, helpful staff. Quiet peaceful surroundings with a fantastic outlook of the valley. We we there for a wedding which was great fun and well organised.
Great way to experience the natural beauty of Australia without visiting the zoo! Encountered kangaroos, wallabies and camels while mountain biking on their expansive trails. The rooms were plush and the inclusive minibar was a nice touch. The restaurant was definitely 5-star. Unfortunately, they retired the horses just prior to our arrival (without changing the website). Will definitely check out Spicers other properties upon returning to Australia.
Facilities: Above average, Dated colonial luxury; Value: Economical; Service: Professional, Respectful, Courteous, And friendly; Cleanliness: Spotless, Beautiful;
Overall, a very enjoyable stay and one to recommend to others.
A lovely peaceful place to visit. Loads of things to do in and around the cattle station and wonderful staff. I can't emphasize enough how well the staff treat all the guest - overnight, restaurant or day visitors. They are very special and give 100 % attention to the guests needs.
Lovely weekend away. Staff friendly and professional. Rooms and surrounds well cared for and the view is spectacular. If you don't like sitting around, this is the place for you. With horse riding, archery, shooting, mountain bikes, tennis etc you will never be bored. Only downside is that if you wanted a quiet romantic weekend away - this is probably not the place. There were so many kids and it wasn't even in school holidays. Great place for young families not couples.
Service: Camille was fantastic.; Cleanliness: Gleaming, Improved on other years;
Thank you for making our 22nd wedding anniversary so memorable with all the special touches. We will be back next year
