We loved our stay at Bowerbird House and we really enjoyed the beautiful bush walks. We were a bit chuffed having to pay $15 for tennis as it was free last time. Also, many surfaces in the house were dirty when we arrived and we left it much cleaner than when we arrived. The house needs the attention of a competent handy man to fix things such as the sliding door locks. Otherwise very nice.

My wife and I and 15 y.o son recently spent a Tuesday and Wednesday night at Bowerbird house Bunya Mountains. We enjoyed it very much. The house was presented. v clean, was well supplied by way of kitchen equipment, blankets, games, movies and various provisions for guest comfort. Great fireplace and excellent 7m x 3.5m pool & snooker table. Double lock up garage and the house is within a security gated estate. Peaceful, private - relaxing. Our forest walks were v. enjoyable. Can certainly recommend a visit to The Bunya's to everyone at least once in their time here...cheers!

This was the second year that we stayed at Bower Bird House and we had a great time both years and will definitely recommend it to friends

Gayle Gayton

Great getaway weekend. The house is perfect for 3 couples each having a separate room. The heater in the bathrooms was much appreciated, as was the electric blankets on the bed. The fireplace, along with air conditioning kept it nice and warm in the living area. Pool table is a bonus!

Tracey Moulton

We were extremely happy with this house and have to say it was the most well equipped self catering accommodation that we have stayed in. It was home from home with a good selection of magazines, books, games and DVDS. Very comfortable in all ways. The fire burner and reverse cycle A/C are both in the living area so a little cool towards the bedrooms but that is all I can find that may not suit some people - We highly recommend !

We have been going to the Bunya Mtns for nearly 30 years. It is our winter getaway. We have introduced many families to Bunya by inviting them along with us. It’s all about food, drink, good company and as much or as little as you want to do. Wonderful down time to recharge the batteries.

Heather Seiling

We were very impressed with how much was provided in the house. The kitchen is very fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. No lack of blankets to keep you warm!! So many birds and my kids thought it was incredible.

Patrick Drieberg

We had the most enjoyable, peaceful, tranquil 2 nights at Bunya Mountain. We will definitely return to Bunya Mountain for another relaxing holiday.

Ana Zekants

We had a great time at the Bowerbird house!! We could see so much wildlife all around the house both night and day. The kids loved the pool table. We would definitely stay there again! Thanks so much!

The house was loverly with lots of space, the aircon cooled the qhile place down and the pool table was a great hit. The only thing I would have to say is the house did smell a bit musty when we arrived.

We have been going to the Bunyas for close to 40 years . camping etc. Booked houses there many times in different locations. magnificent times have been had at all locations. Service from staff excellent. Have had bowerbird for the last four or five years. Love it. Extended family and friends included. Hope to use it for many more years. Perfect location and well appointed, and looked after really well.

Grace Koomen

As always, love the Bunya's, thank you for another wonderful stay and see you in August. Take care & stay well, Grace & Mark

Michael & Lynda Hill

We stayed for three nights and had a really relaxing time. Great fire that really kept us warm in the chilly evenings. Comfortable bed and great amenities. The shower however just does not have enough pressure. The pump was to small which was a shame as it has two shower heads and even with just one on it is to low. Hopefully it can be replaced. Will return to Bunya Mountains in the future as its such a beautiful place. We loved it. We have been three times before and stayed at various cabins and always had a great time.

Fiona Greaves

Bunya's Beautiful as usual. Office staff very obliging. Bowerbird House Perfect. :)

Chris Perez

Lovely location and very clean. Heaps of blankets, doonas and pillows. Lots of birds and wildlife to watch. Got very cold outside at night but home was warm with air con and no fire. Would love to return.

Mike OReilly

Bowerbird House was very comfortable and we had a very enjoyable stay We realise the pandemic has made maintenance and life difficult over the past two years but there a few things that would assist future guests to enjoy their stay even more Exhaust fan light has blown Electric blankets don’t work on all the settings The air conditioning remote works intermittently Outside the back of the house needs a wash down ( spring clean) This is not a complaint ( hopefully helpful information) and we would certainly stay there again Cheers Mike

Lee Newton

We had a lovely weekend away, such a beautiful area and the house was comfortable, pool table was a bonus, kitchen well equipped. We would stay again. Thank you

Karen Dyer

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Bowerbird House & will definitely return

Luke Sanson

It was wonderful. Loved it so much.

Kristine Terry

What a beautiful family house to stay in. The position of the house is close enough that with good legs you could walk to the coffee shop and walking trails, but tucked away so it feels private. We had grandparents and two children under 11 in our group. The pool table was a complete hit for all, and there was a great selection of DVD’s that the kids watched too. We spent many mornings and afternoons out on the front verandah enjoying the beautiful greenery around us and bird watching. We had regular king parrots, crimson rosella’s and satin bowerbirds that visited and a few resident kookaburra’s we admired from afar. We all really loved the birds. The kitchen is well equipped to whip up roasts, and the BBQ was utilised for hot breakfasts - everything works well and there are plenty of utensils, bowls, plates etc. Shower head and bath in the main bathroom is awesome! Very modern and can fit two in the tub. Bedrooms have plenty of storage and SO many extra blankets around in the event you are feeling chilly. Fire went on every evening and some mornings for us - everything you needed there and no issues to get going. We had a really lovely family holiday, lots of walks, lovely food, wine, chats, laughs, pool comps and board games (bring your own by the way). Will definitely be back.

Helen Reason

Large comfortable property with a large fireplace and the pool table was an added bonus.

Elaine McKibbin

The house was fit for purpose. The outside of the property was very dirty, including outdoor furniture. It did mean we couldn’t sit outside. I wouldn’t stay in this house again, we have stayed in multiple other properties and haven’t had this issue.

Steven Rielly

Quite spacious, a good solid property with big yard for games.

Joel Harper

A truly one of a kind stay. House is well appointed and positioned well to take in the views. A cottage at its roots but quite luxurious if you ask me. My partner and I had the most magical time. We did not want to leave and come back to reality. Thankyou

Anita Young

Emma Dagan

Great house suitable for large groups Pool table was the bonus.

Don Andrews

A very nice and comfortable home , the kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots , pans & crockery . I was surprised at the number of parrots & other wildlife that came to visit . I highly recommend this property.

Grace Koomen

Bowerbird was lovely as always, we enjyed the pool table a little more than usual due to the wet weather. Great beds, fantastic sleep, staying here is always a pleasure. Beautiful Bunya surounds and a comfy homely place. Till next time :)

Pam Bishop

We paid for 3 nights and only stayed for 2. We found the property comfortable but tired. We were aware that we could collect the keys at 2pm but after a 3 hour drive, we arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait in the car for the keys to be put in the box right on 2pm. I thought this was petty, in 50 years we have always found places more flexible who allow at least a half hour leeway.

Clean and tidy! A well-equipped house! Very quiet and peaceful!

Our recent stay in the Bunya Mountains guesthouse was truly delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness and organization of the house, which is perfectly set up to accommodate a large family. One of the highlights of our stay was the excellent pool table, which provided hours of entertainment for everyone. The kitchen was another standout feature, being well appointed with everything we needed to prepare and enjoy meals together. The wood burner was fantastic, working flawlessly and providing great warmth, making the evenings cozy and inviting. The beautiful setting of the house added to the overall experience, offering a serene and picturesque backdrop for our family vacation. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Bowerbird house to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable family retreat in the Bunya Mountains.

Kelly Watts

We loved staying there and will definitely stay there again, but were very upset there was no wood. We told reception when we arrived on the Friday and still had none delivered before we left on the Sunday. The house was perfect size and we had a little echidna in the back yard. Beautiful on the deck!

Peter Rotolone

Stayed at Bowerbird house for 3 nights and found the place very spacious, well set out and very comfortable with all required amenities. Internally the place is very clean and well kept. The house is in a very nice setting separated by trees from adjoining properties. I will happy to have a return visit in the future at this property

Wendy Pearson

We loved Bowerbird House and stayed a extra 3rd night. A spacious home with plenty of spare blankets suited to summer nights, and well stocked kitchen. We appreciated the air con, 2 bathrooms and pool table and plenty of birds and wallabies came to visit.

Edward Gordon

My family loved it

Jenny Mercer

Sadly this house was overrun by mice and we could not remain in the house. No refund either despite repeated requests. Apparently they have a mouse plague right now. Check before you even think about it.

Jillian Rickard

Really relaxing, comfortable house to stay in. Love the resident birds and the pool table.

Nicole Cumming

The outdoor table is not clean and not in a good spot on the deck to use. It is so heavy that you cannot move it!! Both decks are dirty, it needs a good clean! The kitchen needs a clean out, there is so much junk in the drawers and cupboards that you can’t put your own food in them. There has to be at least 20 dinner plates, 10 serving dishes and plates, some kind of slow cooker that didn’t even have a lid and a million cooking utensils in the drawers that never get used! A good clean out is long overdue. Pool table is great! Garage space is great, main bedroom is very spacious. Horrible red old carpet could be replaced!! Despite all this we enjoyed our stay. This is our second stay in this house but probably won’t stay again, will try and find a more updated home with a pool table.

We found Bowerbird House to be our favourite place of all the ones we have stayed in so far! All the little extras were greatly appreciated.

Ray Atherton

Very comfortable and accomodating house. Cozy fireplace. Visited daily by parrots, finches, wallabies, bowerbirds, scrub turkey. Lots of fun.

Marilyn Williams

Great house for a family holiday.

MARGARET Rafferty

Phil Morton

Found the house to be dated and the verandas dirty. Maybe when water is plentiful they can be cleaned.

Alison Wilson

Terry McConnell

A return visit to the Bunya Mountains and thoroughly enjoyed the experience just like last time

Rachael Ball

We loved our time in Bowerbird House! Perfect for our young family. Definitely coming back sometime, but hopefully for a longer time!

Brad Mitchell

A very quite and pleasant location. Unfortunately we found the front stairs to be a little unsafe due to the condition of the first few brick ones and no handrails. The left garage door was also quite stiff. Only 3 stars due to poor condition of stairs.

Gwendoline Salisbury

The house is appointed well, is roomy and is all on the same level.Had a very enjoyable stay. Never seen the Bunyas so dry and so many wallabies.

Belinda MacRae

Beautiful house, with everything you need. Sitting on the verandah feeding the birds or playing pool, the teenagers were entertained, plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. Will be back to stay here.

Charles & Janet Hartridge

Very big property and would suit a large family, with us just being a couple we had plenty of space... Well appointed kitchen with all you could need. Comfortable lounge area(s) and large pool table. Generous bedrooms, we used the on-suite wing with walk-in robe, tv and fan above the bed. Bird bath on the balcony table was well used for drinking from but the male satin bowerbird insisted on having a full bath and spruce up...!! Mrs possum brought her young one to visit in the evenings and was quite friendly.. Very comfortable and we enjoyed the stay..

Matt Clinton

Great place, everything you needed was there to relax over a long weekend with friends. Thank you.

Jo Cunningham

Great big family home with loads of space and the convenience of 2 big bathrooms. The pool table was certainly the heart of this house at night. Good walk to the shops and restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed the use of the tennis court down near the accommodation centre during the warm days. Get up to Bunya Mountains and do as little or as much as you like...my yearly destination to spend with friends.

Brad Wickson

House was very clean and nice. Just a couple of things, don’t drink the water as it makes you sick (it smells funny), fireplace could do with a repair and chimney clean, outdoor areas need a thorough clean. Other than those we will be back.

Gayle Reber

We absolutely love our stays at Bunya Mountains. No better place to unwind and relax.

Anne Wormald

Khalid Almutairi

Was so good

Doug O’Donnell

House was perfect for our visit. House was well equipped with extras. Pool table was very popular. Two small details TV remote in bedroom did not work & Air con unit did not work.

Melinda Auld

Wooden fireplace needed cleaning out Vacuum cleaner left in house for cleaning does suck Outside deck quite unclean House was lovely and tidy

Marilyn Pitt

Our party of 4 adults and 1 toddler enjoyed the very comfortable and well set up Bowerbird House.We loved the proximity of rain forest with some magnificent Bunya trees on 3 sides, abundant wallabies and birds. It is roomy with 2 living areas separated by a large kitchen .We made good use of the fireplace .

Cathie Murray

Another lovely stay in this beautiful house. Always a pleasure staying at Bowerbird. We will most certainly return.

Steven Mohr

We had a wonderful time staying here, would recommend for anyone wanting to have a relaxing time out away from the hussle and bustle of city life. We'll be back for another stay for sure.

Lalith Perera

Sue McPherson

We enjoyed our stay very much. Only a couple of issues. One of the single bed mattresses was so uncomfortable and obviously old nobody could sleep on it. The back deck was filthy and no one wanted to sit out there. Both decks could do with a regular clean rather than just left.

Jenny Gemmell

Not sure if this went through so trying again. House was lovely and roomy. The Pool table was a bonus for the girls. Great appliances but no extras e.g. tea, coffee etc and bare essentials for cleaning. Plenty of wonderful wildlife. Perhaps noone had stayed for a while bit girls report need to clean table and benches before use as very greasy and grubby and outdoor furniture also needed a clean. One single bed is squeaky. Overall a good place to stay but no identifiable house number.

Ros and Eddie Gunn

We love you ladies in the office so were pleased to see you when we checked in. We hadnt stayed at Bowerbird before but found it pretty good- beds comfortable- nice showers- amazingly well supplied with stuff to make you comfortable- very clean inside (outside could do with a paint) but all things considered it was really good- thanks

Michelle Hurst

Everything was great, it has a well stocked kitchen. Although it is probably is due for a spring clean, i.e windows and cornice

Brian Wishart

Plenty of room for two adults and three children,boys. The pool table was a big “hit”.

Brenda Rangott

A lovely spacious and well laid out home which caters to your every need. The kids especially enjoyed making use of the pool table! Lots of birds, wallabies and bush turkeys hanging around as well. Comfortable and well appointed within a gated estate.
