The tranquility and views were the best. We left fully recovered and free of stress (after having our 8 grandchildren stay at our home). The very small wine fridge was inadequate and did not keep our drinks or cheese cold was the only fault.

Great getaway from busy life

Pros: Fabulous room and view, great meals and wine, awesome grounds and facilities.
Location: We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunsets and going into Chillingham to poke around the little shops and buy some bush fruits.
We really enjoyed being in the beautiful rainforest. The resort is in an excellent location and truly magic. We just needed to get away from our farm and do nothing but relax and since it was raining pretty much all the time it was perfect. We will go back later in the year when the wet season is over.

Disappointing experience - Ruah Rainforest Retreat

Pros: Nothing was enjoyable, except for the views.
Cons: Everything needs to be improved. The views were really gorgeous though.
Location: Isolated location
We booked online for 3 nights and stayed only 1 night. As we arrived late on the first night of our booking, we left early the next morning due to accommodation provided.

Leanne, so sorry you did not like the retreat. I was working away and our manager was on dutie, this was the first i new about this. the location is 25 minutes from a shopping center murwillumbah and 10 minutes to beautiful coffee ect in Chillingham and bush walks right out side our door so a bit puzzled on why this is a distant place. any way thankyou for your opinion and we wish you the best forward.

Above the clouds..far far away

I am a frequent visitor at Ruah Rainforest Retreat although it is very close to my home on the Gold Coast once I reach the top of the mountain I feel as if I am a million miles away. The retreat has a balinese ambience about it, the owners are lovely and very accomodating - they will greet you once you arrive however do not live on site at the retreat...they are just a short drive down the mountain. The retreat is very self contained with a shared kitchen/dining room where you are welcome to use all the utensils, dinnerware and appliances - so stock up on your favourite groceries before making the drive up. The room with the mountain views sees the sun rising up above the clouds peeking through the windows. There is a large half-wrap around balcony that you can sit on and enjoy allllllllll day long.

Thankyou, yes we agree a lovely place away from it all but close. Thankyou for you kind words.

fantastic views, away from it all - literally

Wanted somewhere away from everything for a bit of down time over the long weekend. This place fitted the bill to that extent. Located high in the border ranges overlooking Murwillumbah at the end of a 4K dirt track, you certainly weren’t bothered by the crowds. Room was comfortable and clean and had fantastic views. That was the good part. The retreat could be something really special, but isn’t. The upkeep is very poor, the place is unkempt and it felt abandoned. We stayed because we were the only people there for most of the weekend and got the rest and relaxation we wanted. Won’t be rushing back - and that’s a shame.
