Tamborine Mountain is located in the picturesque and tranquil Gold Coast hinterland, an easy one hour drive from Brisbane and 35 minutes from the Gold Coast.
With its comfortable cooler temperate climate, this hidden treasure enjoys the changing of the seasons in spectacular colour. It’s the perfect place for a luxury escape or romantic getaway.
Set within the 7-acre Glenloch Gardens, The Gatehouse captures the essence of the Gold Coast hinterland. Peace and privacy awaits.
The peace and tranquility of the sub tropical rainforest walks are a haven for the many brilliantly coloured native birds that inhabit the area. The famous ‘Witches Falls’ section of the Tamborine National Park was declared in 1908, making it Queensland’s first national park. Most of the beautiful bush walks are under 3 kms taking about 1 hour and are well established and easy to follow.
We are lucky to have many artists and artisans that call Tamborine Mountain and the Gold Coast hinterland their home. They are renowned for the diversity and quality of their works, so take time to browse the galleries and shops while you are here – many are a short walk from your accommodation at Glenloch.
Uncover treasures in the many antique and curio stores dotted throughout the mountain lanes. From 200 year old antiques to affordable country and pre-loved everything, there’s something for every taste and budget. To top it off, on the last Sunday of each month the Tamborine Mountain School Markets are on, offering an eclectic selection of old wares and produce.
Tamborine Mountain is home to several award winning wineries as well as a boutique craft brewery and Australia’s most internationally awarded distillery (just a short walk away). Take a tour and sample the cellar door tastings or bring home a bottle to enjoy beside the fire.
“Gallery Walk” with it’s delicious mix of old and new world charm, is only 5 minutes drive away, providing visitors with a range of gift shops offering anything from home made fudge to fashion and crafts. Cafes and restaurants abound on this busy shopping street, so wander and relax at your leisure.
If you would like to venture off the mountain for the day, there are a myriad of shopping opportunities on the Gold Coast as well as the Harbour Town Outlet Mall which are within an easy 40 minutes by car. The GPS we provide for your use has a wealth of day trip possibilities – and a few ‘local’ secrets as well!
