Find Your Clagiraba Hotels

Just stayed at Sky Island Studios to celebrate my birthday and could not have asked for a better experience. I was met by Jessica upon arrival, who made both myself and my wife feel very welcome. The cake in the fridge and message on blackboard was a delight! The cabins are beautiful - was wonderful to wake up to the sounds of birds while watching sunrise in the morning. Breakfast on the deck was spectacular - and the banana choc smoothie was just the right way to start the day! Huge thanks to Jessica and Albert for their hospitality and look forward to visiting again.

We were met by a friendly staff member and shown our room. It was adequate but depressing. The main reason we were disappointed with the room we were shown is that there was no wardrobe or fridge and it was just a bed in the room with no other furniture and a standard bathroom. We asked if there was a room with somewhere to hang our clothes at least and it was suggested a hat stand might suit! We asked if there were any rooms available with a wardrobe and we were shown another room that did indeed have a wardrobe but no hangers!!! ….who travels with clothes hangers?!!! I’ve done a lot of travelling and seen many hotel rooms but never one without somewhere to hang your clothes. We were then shown a larger room which had a hat stand but no wardrobe and because it had a table, kitchenette and fridge we asked if we could book this but we had to pay a further $390 for the five nights. Apparently it is usually $340 per night. We reluctantly accepted this extra cost…still no wardrobe or anywhere to put clothes!!!…not even a set of drawers. However the most disappointing aspect was there was no housekeeping during those 5 nights. Coffee, tea, biscuits, toiletries and towels were not replenished and the bins not emptied. No attempt to make the bed…no checking of the room or bathroom at all. We would have expected that especially as we paid $280 per night. Most hotel accommodations would have provided housekeeping during a 5 night stay. Last night we were there we didn’t get much sleep as other patrons were very noisy until 4.30a.m. in the communal room which is alongside the rooms…no escaping the noise as it’s on the same floor!!! Food was good and the garden great in the evenings. Rump and rib special was excellent. Friendly staff in the restaurant. Breakfast not available at the hotel but some excellent cafes nearby. Shame some finishing touches weren’t there as this review could have been very different.

Was a lovely place to stay clean spaces rooms a manager that couldn’t do more for us we ha 6 people 3 couples a room each couple , you had everything in the room you could ask for .Close walking distance to everything bars food scenic walks it had it all great place would go back just for the extras in the room it’s a must stay if up that way

The manager and staff are very kind and friendly. Everything looks brand new and perfectly clean. The room is amazing and so comfortable and quiet at night. The bed and pillows are wonderful and as comfortable as some 5* hotels I’ve stayed in. Such great value for money and a great place to stay and explore the Gold Coast from - especially the theme parks which are just a few minutes drive away. The food in the restaurant downstairs was super yummy last night and excellent value. The hotel is covid safe and called to check I wasn’t traveling from any hotspots in advance of my stay, which made us feel safe. Just perfect - we are very happy guests!

On the 14.3.23 at 1.25 pm my adult son and I visited the Hinterland Hotel for lunch as it was a busy day for us, we approached the counter and the mature aged blond was serving a patron first and we kindly waited, whilst the woman was pouring the beers she asked what did I want, I asked, ”Is this where we order lunch?” she replied, ”No, use the paddy app on the tables.” I said, ” I have a government phone that does not accept these apps.” She then replied, ”Use his!”. I nicely said ” My son has a vintage Nokia and that wont work.” The woman said abruptly, ”It works on all phones!” ”Can you please give me a paper menu,” I asked, ”NO PAPER MENU'S” was the stern reply... The other patron looked at us in disbelief. We felt discriminated against and we left as though we were won't welcome there. I have lived at Springbrook Mountain since 1977 and will never go back to this establishment ever again. P.S. Do you need an App to play the Poker machines out the back?
