Lovely place located on The Gallery Walk. Being a massive cheese fan, along with my daughter, this place was a must on our day off. Really nice and clean with soooo many cheeses to taste. The lady serving us was very helpful and had a lot of knowledge on the making process. A big variety of soft and hard cheeses. I came away with 7 different varieties .. Argh there goes my diet lol

This is the Heritage Estate Cellar Door, which is a different location to the Winery on Shelf Road in Mount Tamborine. It's located on The Gallery Walk and it's a gorgeous place. Great Cellar Door which allowed a group of us to Wine Taste, and for my son to enjoy his first wine tasting experience. The gentleman was very helpful and spoke to my son extensively as to how the procedure of wine making works. Really nice area with seating outside. So many wines to taste and we all left with quite a few purchases. They also have an online shop via their Winery, to purchase more goodies lol. Great customer service, the man was very very helpful, thank you ...

Popped in here to show my 20yo son what it's like to be involved in Wine Tasting as he never experienced a winery. I noticed they had lovely meals but unfortunately we had already eaten. It cost $5 to be involved in tasting at the Cellar Door. There were 2 couples already being served so we stood back to let the lady know we were ready to be served and she just ignored us. We stood and waited and she went ahead and served an older couple who came in after us. I mentioned that we were waiting to be served and she said she doesn't serve rude teenagers !!! I was like "pardon me"? My son hasn't even spoken. And she said I'm not talking about today, I just don't like them thinking they can get drunk in here. The older couple were quite disgusted in her rude attitude as wine tasting isn't about getting drunk as you only have a sip and its a controlled environment. After we all said we weren't happy with her service, that we wanted to see the manager, she just ignored us like we didn't exist !!! Ha I don't think I have seen a grown person act so terribly immature. So my son and the lovely old couple that stood up for him left and went to a neighbouring Cellar Door (see review). I emailed a complaint along with the other couple and none of us have received any reply. Very disappointed :(

A lovely place on The Gallery Walk, it's a tea shop who sell pretty well every tea you can think of plus lots of local tea. Really nice experience tasting all sorts of flavours. Great personal service, very knowledgable and there is an online site to order more teas if you run out.

When we do The Gallery Walk, this is always the last place we visit as we know we will stock up on the bad things like fudge, boiled lollies etc lol. Its like an old fashioned lollie shop with lollies I used to have as a children, plus a lot of overseas lollies, especially Dutch liquorice and they are famous for their fabulous fudge. There is a separate counter for the fudge, you can taste any flavour you want, and there are lots of flavours. There are a variety of peanuts plus Aussie souvenirs for the tourists. Really lovely and friendly service ow and there is a separate area for a coffee, tea and fresh slices, muffins etc ..

Popped in here on my visit to The Gallery Walk. This place is absolutely gorgeous if you like the hand made shops, soaps, sewing etc. beautiful old house converted, yes, hand made usually costs a few more $$ but I personally think it makes the gift/purchase better quality. Lovely wood items and the sewing of some of the dresses are devine, they were just beautiful. The lady serving was very kind and helpful and everything was wrapped in soft tissue. Lovely experience ..

This place has been a regular of my mothers for ages, I'm only reviewing it as I take her there all the time so she can get her scrapping goodies which she just loves to do. The staff know her well now and treat her like gold, just like a friend which she absolutely loves. Every time we go there it is always busy with other customers so seems to be very popular. I know it's a photo place but their scrapping section only just gets bigger and if she can't find anything, they always make sure they can get something in for her. Very happy environment and lovely customer service, you will love it.

Spent a lovely day in Mount Tamborine's Gallery Walk. I was recommended this place so popped in for breakfast. Its a lovely building with very high cathedral ceilings and lovely fire place for the cold days. There's either cafe chairs in the front area, padded bench seats through the back or lovely seating outside in the tropical garden. Their Country Breakfast (the works) was very filling and cooked perfectly even though they were busy. Huge board menu, served straight away by friendly lady and the waitress was constantly cleaning. They also have loads of local art work on display to purchase...

Approximate cost: $15.90

Often heard of this restaurant but had never been there until a month ago. My husband organised a lovely night with our teenage children, parents etc and wow what a beautiful place it is. I've been to French restaurants when I was on holiday in England and this place is as close as you can get. It's absolutely gorgeous and the chandelier is a beautiful centrepiece. I had the confit duck and my husband had the beef cheeks. We couldn't fault any of the meals, really good sizes as well for an up market restaurant. Someone also had the salmon mousse with the zucchini flowers, what a lovely plate, looked just like on Masterchef lol. And the wine list !! wow so extensive and it was my first time I had Spanish wines. The service was impecible, that's the only word I can find to describe it. A great night and we will definitely be going back again, just loved the place.

Approximate cost: $36.00

A great hardware store that is absolutely massive. There is everything that you could possibly need including tools, paints, appliances, lighting, plants etc and I love that they have kitchen and bathroom layouts so you can actually see what the product looks like ie ovens, fridges, cook tops etc. The only negative was that a Customer Service lady walking around asked me 5 times in 15 minutes if I needed help. She completely forgot who I was every time she spoke to me. This I find very unprofessional in any business. But on the weekends, they always have someone doing a sausage sizzle and there is a coffee and cake van as well ...
