Gold Coast Hinterland Wedding Venue with Accommodation
Your wedding. Your people. All in one beautiful place.
Bring your celebration and overnight stay together at Shambala Estate, a Gold Coast Hinterland wedding venue on Tamborine Mountain. Four ceremony locations, two reception spaces and five acres of gardens connect your vows, photographs and reception. Keep your favourite people close with 13 cottages: four onsite at Shambala Estate and nine nearby. Each cottage suits two adults, accommodating 26 adults in total (eight onsite and 18 nearby). Six single trundle beds bring the combined capacity to 32 guests; additional fees apply. Plan which guests will stay on the Estate and who will stay nearby; cottage availability and included nights depend on your date and chosen wedding experience.
Our five wedding coordinators care for every couple together, sharing your preferences and decisions. Talk with us about stay dates, check-in and getting-ready arrangements, nearby accommodation and transport before confirming details with guests.
Read our wedding guest accommodation guide for a fuller plan.
Before booking your stay, confirm who will use each cottage, the available nights, check-in and check-out times, and whether preparation access is included. For guests staying off site, agree the collection and return arrangements in advance; our 13-seat minibus is available only by prior arrangement and subject to availability. All weddings conclude by 10.00 pm.
