Find the Cheap Glass House Mountains Hotels

We will return to this place! We really enjoyed our stay. We had not been here before and wow, were we impressed when Shane showed us our cottage. I hardly know where to begin. But number one was the comfortable bed no saggy baggy mattress here. Separate spa and shower, air con and fancy pretend flame heater. Private deck with lovely views and greenery. Nespresso coffee pods, tea, chocolates on the bed, milk in the fridge. Rainwater, so nice and soft, no problems getting the soap to lather up. No mosquitoes so we enjoyed the open-air freshness, and the peace and quiet of a country location. The small outdoor pool was refreshing, and the next-door Terraces restaurant provided us with a great seafood dinner. Shane was very attentive and there was nothing that was too difficult for him to attend to.

Disapointed that on arrival, we were given a piece of paper, (which we did not read until day 2), advising that the room would not be serviced daily, (by that time I had put the towels on the floor to be changed) only if you stayed for over a week then your room would be serviced after day 3 or 4, you can ask for clean towels but at a charge. Also you must remove rubbish and put it in the garbage room shute on leaving, otherwise your credit card would be charged. I have never experienced this in any hotel/motel, even 2-3 stars, resort any where else in the world. We stayed 4 days, on day 3 my husband asked for more toilet paper and clean towels, husband asked why our room had not been serviced, we were told, it was a studio appartment, reception was quite flippant, but agreed to the request, although did not replace either, had to go ask a second time, told we did not have to pay for the clean towels.

At $ 800 per night, this has to be a special treat. And, I'm happy to report, it is. Spicers have got the concepts of luxury, relaxation and pampering down to a fine art. No detail is overlooked and it all happens in a non-pompous, casual manner. We stayed in Luxury Forest Villa #13, which is the furthest from reception and restaurant ; total peace and quiet, but still an easy stroll for a meal. It is a small house, with everything that you could possibly need, and of the best quality. The bed is divinely comfortable, the bath with amenities opulent. Late afternoon we were invited for some complimentary dumplings in the restaurant : 2 per person and you buy your own drinks. The grounds are well maintained, but have kept their-foresty look ; there is a 15 minute walk to ”the falls”, a small natural pool with waterfall (which was hardly running because of the lack of rain). You can choose to have your breakfast in the room or in the restaurant, and we decided for the latter. There is a complimentary continental (banana bread, small yoghurt and fruit) and you choose 1 main. Although delicious, I thought it was a fairly small offering and I could have done with a little more. Spicers is the perfect place to forget about problems and stress ; unwind and re-load the batteries. A very special treat.

Visited here on a quiet Wednesday night. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu was a bit out dated and overpriced. We went with pub classics, a chicken parmi and chicken schnitzel both with chips and salad on the side. The meals were brought out to us very quickly. The salad would of better off not being on the plate as it was just wet lettuce. Both meals were cooked well and side sauces were nice. They have a sports bar seperate from the main restaurant, which we went to after eating. The drinks were cheap and a surprisingly a good cocktail list. Ended the night with a cheeky slap on the pokies. Didn’t leave successfully but hope the lady who was winning big next to us is enjoying life.
