“...on a scale of 1 to 10 ...This 2 day break scored an 11 !!!”

Everything was FABULOUS !!! Could not fault anything. Location was perfect...feeding an assortment of wonderful birds just outside our window... Hosts were very kind...lots of food supplied... great views ...

“Serene and tranquil retreat under the warmth glow of the sun, surrounded by nature and rural sounds.”

Thank you dearly Ingrid and James for your thoughtfulness and generosity. Delightful, abundantly stocked and comfortable little haven. Serene and glorious to wake to the Sun rising over the rolling hills with the birds tranquilly feeding in our company. Your welcome of freshly baked bread, a delight that warmed our hearts instantly. Thank you for your generous spoiling. We look forward to returning.

Loved the outlook, location & the wonderful warm hospitality of Ingrid & James.

“I just want to go back.”

La Dolce Vita provided us with such a beautiful long weekend away. The space was super comfortable and cosy, and we were spoilt with views of rolling hills, starry nights, and beautiful wildlife (birds, kangaroos, and even hares!) We were provided with lots of food, and the hosts were so friendly and there if we needed anything. Also - Beechmont & Binna Burra are simply stunning locations. Super close to some amazing hikes.

Location, serenity

“Escape to paradise.”

You can not fault them for anything, this place is amazing. Was a wonderful and warm experience with a beautiful aroma of freshly baked bread. Will happily come back and next time bring the family ❤️

“Perfect!”

Location, Wildlife, Food, Rooms, Hospitality... everything was perfect! Next time we will stay for at least 2 days!

“Amazing hospitality and serene”

Absolutely everything, a peaceful retreat with thoughtfully delivered excellence of location, amenity and every detail has been executed with such precision that the experience feels almost curatorial. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the décor warm and intelligently composed, and the food provisioning impressively comprehensive. The surrounding serenity—enhanced by remarkable birdlife—creates an atmosphere ideal for genuine restoration. A flawless location for an intentional wind‑down.We will be back.

“A wonderful place to stay in Beechmont”

Ingrid and James were friendly and very generous hosts. The freshly cooked bread and bottle of wine on arrival were welcoming, and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked. The accommodation had everythng we needed. The bird life in the backyard was plentiful and varied, and very entertaining, as were the Pretty-faced Wallabies. The views were also outstanding. We wish we'd had another night to spend at La Dolce Vita.

“Beautiful, peaceful retreat. Will definitely visit again!”

Had an amazing stay at La Dolce Vita for my partner’s birthday and Valentine’s Day. Ingrid and James went above and beyond to make it extra special, leaving us a few extra treats. The property is gorgeous, well maintained and very clean. The view from the porch is to die for! The breakfast, tea and coffee selection was great, and the freshly baked bread was just the cherry on top. Will definitely be back!!

“A wonderful choice for people who enjoy peaceful surroundings and observing wildlife.”

A delightful place to stay with its peaceful and quiet location, the warm welcome from our hosts, bird feeders outside attracting a wide variety of wildlife, and the freshly baked bread with a very generously stocked kitchen for breakfast.

“It felt like a wonderland with animals and birds and all!”

We didn’t end up using the bacon and eggs but it was so nice to have it for us. The bread was yummy! And the wine - NZ Wine was lovely. And you guys are so generous with what we could use. You had everything! We made a delicious meal and was made very comfortable. Thank you Ingrid and James.

“A delightful stay in a quiet abode surrounded by rolling hills”

I could absolutely not fault this place. Lovely hosts and a warm and welcoming place with possibly the most well stocked fridge and “brekky pantry” I have ever seen (and that includes my own home)! Some really nice touches like including bird seed for guests to put out onto the bird feeder/house for all the birds who visit in the morning was so thoughtful - I found watching the birds come and go in their different flocks outside the window utterly delightful. My friend and I only stayed a night (to explore nearby Lamington National Park) but I’m sure we will be back!

“A relaxing and very enjoyable stay.”

We liked everything. We loved the outlook, the silence, the morning sun and the birds. It was wonderful to arrive to a fully stocked fridge and pantry, with a loaf of James's freshly baked bread on the table. Ingrid's GF lemon and coconut cake was a lovely surprise and beyond delicious, and so kind of her to cater for a coeliac. Great shower and very comfortable beds. The location is convenient for visiting Binna Burra, Canungra and Tambourine.

“Comfortable, quiet, wonderful rural aspect and loved the birds.”

In one word, La Dolce Vita was "FABULOUS" In two words, it was "ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS" And finally in three words, "VERY MANY THANKS" to Ingrid, James and, of course, fluffy puppy Lucy.

“A beautiful, quiet and clean place with lovely hosts.”

The location was very beautiful. It was a very quiet spot, ideal to relax. Nevertheless, it was close to Gold Coast and to other shopping facilities. The hosts were very friendly, we felt welcome.

“Would recommend to anyone!”

Probably the best place we’ve stayed at, everything & I mean everything was catered for, we both wished we had booked for longer. The owners are just lovely.

“Recommended :)”

Such a peaceful place to stay, exceptional hospitality, cozy atmosphere,loved it

“Pleasant relaxing stay”

Very friendly hosts, keen to make sure we had everything we needed. Tranquil location with lots of wildlife.
