A 25 minute drive to the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise shopping centres and beaches. The local vineyards and wineries make for an interesting tour in the mountains and surrounding areas.

Room Facilities

Garden Villas - The first three villas are totally separate from the main lodge. Villas 1 and 2 are separated by a porch, and Villa 3 stands alone. All have 180-degree views across the rural land of the Gold Coast Hinterland, to the Broadwater and ocean beyond. The Coomera River meanders from behind hills to the south into the foreground where it joins the Broadwater. The high-rise buildings of Surfers Paradise can clearly be seen to the south and at dusk the skyline becomes a panorama of lights.

Chum's Spa Villas - Chums" is the only two storey accommodation at Ruffles and was originally designed as an area for our friends, hence the name, but has now been upgraded to guest accommodation and is affectionately known as "Chums' Up" and "Down".

Chums Up has a large deck area with a day bed and has filtered views to the coast and valley to the north. The outlook over the large gardens is pleasant and gives a feeling of peace. To maximize the outlook from Chums Down we have included sliding glass doors and patios on both sides. The north looks out over the gardens and the south has views through the eucalypt forest. They are both 63sq metres and have sunny northerly aspects. Up has a Queen size bed and Down a King and both have double divan beds (with inner spring mattresses) and spacious bathrooms with double Spas.

The living areas are equipped with log gas fires for winter comfort and 42" Plasma TVs and sound systems. They are both equipped with high speed internet connections.

Executive Lodge Suite - Our new luxury Executive Suite situated at the northern end of the Lodge with spectacular views from the living room to the coast and a northerly aspect across the valley from the spacious bedroom. This would surely rate high amongst the best accommodation available on the Gold Coast or Brisbane. The overall size of the suite, excluding the surrounding deck is 86 sq.metres. The suite also has it's own private garden.

The bedroom has a King size bed, walk-in dressing room with ample areas for suitcases; TV, large deck with comfortable outdoor furniture and the beautifully appointed bathroom has a spa bath.

High timber ceilings, glass sliding doors, timber louvres, aged timber flooring, overhead fans, carefully selected furniture and fittings combine to create a special atmosphere.

Like the bedroom, the living room is air conditioned and for your winter comfort, there is a wood fire. There is a plasma screen TV,DVD and sound system, and as in the villas there is a high speed internet connection. Private dining is available for both breakfast and dinner if required.

Ruffles Lodge Facilities

• Dining - 3 main dining areas, each able to meet the mood of the particular day.
• Golf - par 3 golf hole with bunker, putting and chipping areas.
