    "Pethers Restaurant offered an exclusive, tailored and intricate dining experience boasting a stunning venue and location. The food was absolutely incredible, with every dish inspired by the flavours of the rainforest. Sitting beside a bold fireplace in a rustic, glass-enclosed boutique restaurant, the atmosphere gleamed with romance."

    Waking up in a king-size bed with nothing but rainforest around you… pure bliss. Quiet, relaxing, and exactly what we needed. 10/10.

    My wife and I have now visited pethers 5 times and every single time the place and staff are incredible, the rainforest is so relaxing we never want to go home and the restaurant serves some of the most delicious food ever.

  • Jamie - ★★★★★

    We enjoyed two nights at Pethers as our friends got married on the mountain this week. The venue is still as beautiful as it was when I stayed here for my wedding 22 years ago.

  • Kirsty - ★★★★★

    We had a weekend away in Pethers House. It was magical! Gorgeous house, wrap around balcony, fireplace, plenty of space and a great location to share quality relaxation time with friends. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend for a group stay or wedding venue. The grounds and location are just beautiful.

    Fantastic little place. Just finished a 4 night stay and can I say what an absolute beautiful place. The staff are amazing and super friendly. The brekkys that were delivered to our door every morning were so yummy. The room was gorgeous 🥰. Can't wait to come back again soon. Highly recommend. ☺️ Keep up the amazing work!
