We stayed here for one night after purchasing a 2 bedroom villa on wotif for $299. I had thought this was a great price given the reputation of Spicers Tamarind, however, I think it was still overpriced for the accomodation. As someone who goes away quite often and stays in a lot of luxury accommodation, I was utterly dissapointed with... More

Our team strives for the highest quality service, so we take this feedback very seriously. In relation to the accommodation, we offer villa accommodation with a gourmet breakfast included, rather than self catering apartments. The kitchenette includes... More

Years ago, we used to dine at Key Restaurant... More

My partner works overseas. We decided to have one night away before he returned overseas and assumed that because this place was extremely expensive that it would be absolutely amazing. We were really excited and when we drove in it looked great! The staff were really friendly, and were very apologetic about the electricity being disconnected (we were with our... More

We couldn't get a booking at the sister resort for our post wedding wind down. So we booked here. My only requirement was somewhere with good food and a fireplace. This was without doubt the nicest fitted accomodation I have experienced anywhere in the world. Everything was 5 star. The service was unobtrusive whilst being simultaneously incredibly attentive. That's to... More

What a beautiful property in so many ways. The accommodations were cosy and romantic and we were lucky enough to get a drizzly and chilly weekend so we could take full advantage of the fireplace and hot tub. The cabin we stayed in (3) was so private, modern and more than comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and made even more... More

Firstly, I can't believe some of the petty comments here about muddy footprints and pillows being too thick. There is a pillow menu where you can choose soft/medium/hard/latex etc, so perhaps use this if you have an issue. I brought my mother here after she had been in hospital and was really sick. She needed a getaway from it all,... More

We stayed here over Easter and it was a wonderful romantic getaway. The only negatives were muddy fooprints on the wooden floor boards and when we repeatedly telephone reception there was no answer. The great location & gorgeous cabin more than made up for the footprints and poor service. Our tip would be to grab a bottle of champagne from... More

The location, friendly staff, day spa and on-site restaurant make Tamarind the perfect place to unwind and enjoy life! First class all the way. The hot tub overlooking rainforest was superb on a misty cold afternoon. More

We had a one night stay here, for our one and only annual kid free night away. The location is nice and the little cabins very comfortable and quite private. We had a one bedroom cabin, specifically so we could enjoy the hot tub on the veranda. When we first arrived, my wife used the spa services for a massage,... More

only 30 minutes away from Caloundra. Friendly staff, peaceful place with nice food to be tested in the restaurant. The package had 2 nights with bfast and dinner (one at Clovelly Estate) and Veuve at arrival. Quiet place to switch off from the busy life. The day Spa was great too. The pillows could have been smaller as rather big... More
