Good B&B for exploring the hinterland of the Gold Coast
S28°1'46.050" E153°15'48.74" Located near Nerang QLD, Advancetown is an excellent starting point for exploring Springbrook, Lamington, Wollumbin and Border Ranges National Parks by car. If you start early, you can reach Lillian Rock to do the Tweed Range Scenic Drive. One of the best scenic drives in the country.
Rumbalara B&B is in the middle of the woods, but our car navigation found the gate. You go steeply downhill and then steeply uphill to the house. Being in the middle of the forest, you need a car to go for diner. The dining options nearby are mediocre. Slightly better dining options are in Nerang, a 15 minutes’ drive.
Rumbalara B&B has four rooms and a two-bedroom apartment. Up to 14 people can sleep at this B&B. Our twin room in September 2018 had a large bathroom with bath and shower and a separate toilet. The room has intermittent Wi-Fi (the hosts have gone to great lengths to have better reception and greater bandwidth in the woods), LCD television, new split air conditioner, microwave and fridge. The twin room had a sliding door to the garden. The beds slept comfortable, although they were a little too short for us.
Alan & Denise are friendly hosts with personal attention and always available for advice and help. Alan loves to have a chat in the morning before breakfast. Denise prepares the breakfast from the chosen options the day before. It is a good breakfast.
We made contact by e-mail and avoided the fees of online travel agencies. We paid AU$130 per night in September 2018.
Rumbalara B&B is an excellent starting point for exploring the hinterland national parks of the Gold Coast by car. Denise & Alan are very fine hosts. Recommended.
