Had heard much about the quality of the food at the restaurant. Our friends booked well in advance. On the night it was very cold and had been raining. The open nature of this restaurant with three sides providing views to the rain forest may be ideal on many occasions but it is not suitable for its elevated position on... More

We visited Songbirds on the evening of 11 /5 for the degustation 7 course menu. The chefs choices on the night included two courses with beef cheek in the dishes and a third course was presented as pork cheek.Not what I would expect to be included in a fine dining experience. The inclusive wines came some time before the meals... More

This was our second time staying at Songbirds and it was exactly as we remembered it. Beautiful luxury accommodation in an amazing rainforest environment. We were the only guests staying both nights so had the added luxury of total seclusion. When we checked in, the service was great. We were recommended to go to Clancy's for dinner (which was great)... More

Had lunch here on a summer drizzly day. The decor is amazing - red and navy against the rainforest is a wonderful contrast. Staff were incredible profession. Despite two weddings taking place whilst we where there, we felt as though we special guests. Loved that the resident birds came in to check us out too. The food was quick and... More

Last night we had the absolute pleasure of staying at Songbirds Rainforest Retreat on Tamborine Mountain and dining in the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. What a wonderful experience. Songbirds, nestled amidst over 50 acres of rainforest and teeming – as the name suggests – with myriad birdlife, is a secluded paradise. Upon arriving we settled into our villa, so... More

Rarely do you find a restaurant with such a beautiful menu. The food was exquisite! And we will be coming back to try more. Recently we have been trying "masterchef" restaurants they are nothing compared with this.

Stayed at Songbirds recently and enjoyed the experience. We have eaten at the restaurant many times during the day but this time we stayed in the cottages and ate in the evening. I have to say this experience wasn't their usual first class gourmet experience. I understand they have a small menu due to local, fresh produce, but I found... More

Songbirds is a retreat in every sense of the word - from the environs, ambience, food, wallabies, staff, accommodation, sounds of whip-birds & frogs etc....you really feel that you're taking time out from "it all". I took my mum there for an extra-special "occasion" (she having recently survived a life threatening illness) and the unexpected special "treatment" she received from... More

My boyfriend and I won a voucher for a one night stay here. We enjoyed our time imensely our cabin was quaint from the outside and blended into the surrounding rainforest however inside it was decorated like a 5 star retreat. We enjoyed a wonderful spa with complimentary bath salts and cuddled up on the giant comfy bed. We felt... More
