Helen, the owner of BlueGums, upgraded us to this amazing building. It comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 of them with a common bathroom, the other with an en-suite. Also a common cooking/dining area, laundry and attached common lounge area, and parking for 3 cars below. Access to accommodation is by steps. It had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean, airy and... More

My husband and I decided 2 weeks before Easter that we wanted to get away and visit the Tablelands and because it was last minute, we thought we wouldn't have many accommodation options to choose from. Another B&B passed my details onto Atherton B&B and Helen was very prompt in her reply to me and then also kept up the... More

The room was quite small and the TV miniscule. It was quiet enough and a little out of the way which some may prefer. Everything was clean and tidy. The access to the accomodation is not suitable for people with disabilities. Would have had a good view but the smoke haze killed that, but I'm sure it would normally have... More

Reading all the previous rewies we were amazed by the negative ones. Converning that we would like subscribe to the review of JMacChicago Chicago, Illinois "...I have to say that I am questioning whether the authors of any negative reviews stayed at the same place we did...." But see what we wrote John & Helen after being back in Germany:... More

I have to say that I am questioning whether the authors of any negative reviews stayed at the same place we did. Our time at the Blue Gum B & B was a fantastic highlight during our family's trip to Australia. The rooms were clean, spacious and inviting and perfect for the seven of us (my husband and myself, my... More

It was absolutely our pleasure and delight to stay at the Blue Gum B&B. The hosts are the warmest and most welcoming family, full of great advice and extensive knowledge of the Atherton tablelands. The room was big, clean and welcoming. we also enjoyed the heated swimming pool. Overall, I cannot find any flaws in this accommodation and I will... More
