Even though Singapore is a tropical country surrounded by rainforests, I am sure not many of us have been on a retreat in the rainforest, think camping in Bt Timah Hill ...Not your idea of a gateaway right?
So here I was in The Hinterland, Gold Coast, Australia, driving along the winding road of The Hinterland towards The Mouses House heading towards a retreat in the Rainforest. It is the Number one place to stay tripadvisor. It is also the most memorable places that I have stayed while on a Holiday, due to its unique location, it being a real cottage and the amenities provided are 5 stars. (Maybe even better than some 5 stars hotel)
There are also many activities to do in and around the resort, I wish I could have stayed there longer.
For those who are worried that you will be disconnected from your friends during your retreat. You will be delighted to know that Wifi is provided FREE at The Mouses house.
Let me show you some pictures.
This is the chalet that we stayed in. It is called HAPPY.
All their chalets are named after characters from the Fairy tale - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The office/ lobby/ check in counter. The staffs are so friendly and they are most willing to recommend us some of the things to do around the area.
Top view, there is a room with a single bed on the second level, accessible using the ladder.
The PS3 is loaded with a wide selection of Hollywood movies that you can watch, games and also music.
My favorite part of the chalet, the fireplace. Its a real fireplace, that burns with the wood and help to keep us warm as the temperature can be quite cold at night.
The kitchen, as there are no food around especially during Dinner time, it's best to bring food to cook your own. Even though it look small, the kitchen is fully equipped.
The toilet is so clean and modern.
The bed comes with electric warmer and behind the bed is a small room where the Jacuzzi is, a perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day.
It really offer a magnificent view. There is no other visitors there so we can take our time to breath in the fresh air, admire the view, take as many pictures as we want.
In the morning, I went to Canyon Lookout (3 mins drive from The mouses house), to watch the sun rise.
You can spot Hot air balloons , a splendid view of Surfer Paradise and admire the Canyon, Valleys while waiting for the sun rise.
Natural Arch is also a short drive away. It is another must visit place at Springbrook.
All the activities that I mentioned are free of charge. In addition you can also visit the glow worms (there are tours that you can join) in the caves and do star grazing at night. Be sure to bring your own torch lights.
If you are dropping by Springbrook be sure to stay at The Mouses House !
