Romantic getaways on Tamborine Mountain
Some of the best time together is beautifully simple: a long conversation, a quiet view, an evening that belongs entirely to you.
Plan a romantic getaway in the Gold Coast Hinterland at Shambala Estate, with 13 cottages (4 onsite and 9 nearby). The four onsite cottages sit among five acres of gardens and rainforest greenery, each with a spa bath for two, a wood fireplace for use from May to September, and a private balcony. Amenities vary in the nearby cottages; check the details of your chosen cottage before booking. Come to celebrate an anniversary, surprise someone you love or simply make room for each other again. Shambala Estate is approximately 55 minutes from Brisbane and 40 minutes from the Gold Coast.
Make yourselves at home
Wake to the sounds of the garden. Take breakfast slowly, then explore Tamborine Mountain. Spend the afternoon tasting local wine, browsing galleries or walking beneath the rainforest canopy. When evening comes, return to the privacy of your chosen cottage. In the four onsite cottages, enjoy a long soak in the spa and time to linger on the balcony, with wood fireplaces available from May to September.
This is your escape to shape. It can be a full itinerary or a weekend with only one reservation and plenty of open space between.
A mountain made for two
Choose a café for a leisurely start or book a table for dinner at one of the mountain's restaurants. The local food, wine, brewery and distillery scene gives you plenty to explore, from a casual stop to a planned night out. Browse Gallery Walk, make time for a rainforest walk, and arrive at the Hang Gliders Lookout in time for the west-facing sunset when weather allows.
Local venues, access and opening hours change. Book restaurants directly and check lookout and walking conditions before you set out.
