Shambala Estate Cottages comprises four private cottages designed for comfort, connection and a little indulgence, complete with log fireplaces, spa baths for two and balconies overlooking the surrounding rainforest.

Tucked away yet incredibly central, you can spend your morning exploring Tamborine Mountain’s cafés, wineries and walking tracks, then return to the quiet and privacy of the estate.

There is far more to discover within a short drive. Wander through Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens, visit the Glow Worm Caves, explore waterfalls and rainforest, or take in views stretching toward the Gold Coast skyline and across the Scenic Rim.

For a slower day, choose from local wineries and distilleries, pottery studios, Gallery Walk, the Cuckoo Clock Nest or one of the mountain’s spa and wellness experiences. Guests looking for something a little different can also explore by e-bike with a picnic hamper from Peddly Picnics—then return to the privacy of their cottage, spa bath and fireplace.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, attending a wedding or simply taking a weekend to slow down, Shambala Estate Cottages offers a peaceful and memorable stay in one of the most sought-after pockets of the Gold Coast Hinterland.
