A 30th Wedding Anniversary with the love of my life would have been good almost anywhere, but the Escarpment Villas played their part to provide some good memories. We were pleased with the 2 night stay. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Villas have some great features such as a log fire which the manager herself came over to... More

Thank you for your review. We are very pleased that we could play a part in your life for such a very special and memorable occassion. Would like to explain some of the reasons why you found the costings relatively expensive. International, interstate and non Brisbane bookings account for less than 5% of our traffic. Therefore the source of nearly... More

Nothing was too much trouble.. Carolynne was the perfect host, with plenty of good advice for the local area. Complimentary bubbly and chocolates while watching... More

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Escarpment Retreat after Easter as we needed a chance to relax and rest. The property is near the main road, but as it's well away from the busy areas on the mountain there isn't a lot of traffic or noise. It has security gates to ensure safety at night (you get... More

Our recent getaway to the Escarpment was one to remember. Upon arriving through the gates, we had stepped foot into a sanctuary of calm which was very much needed from our busy every day lives.

What a lovely review, especially for emphasizing what our property has to offer. Reviews like yours inspire people to escape and stay with us so thank you. Life is always more fulfilling when we can help to make others life more enjoyable. The biggest "complaint" that we get on departure is guests wishing that they had stayed longer. Looking forward...
