Our four private cottages are 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.

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

    “Thank you, It was such an incredibly breath-taking and relaxing stay. We were so impressed with everything... The gardens were a treat to explore! The cute cabin names, the lovely balcony views of a lush canopy and green lawn, right down to the beautifully warm room when we walked in. Also the ambient music playing, the rocking chairs, and the layout of the space made the experience so cosy for us... it was all so inviting! We would love to come back again.”

    So impressed by this venue. Such magical grounds, immaculately kept gardens, many interesting features throughout.

    The accommodation was stunning, HUGE two person spa, fire place, self-contained kitchen and private deck. My cottage was super private and the bird life was stunning.

    The property is also a wedding and function venue, you would be so happy if you booked here. The staff are incredibly helpful, nothing is too much.
