The Tamborine – A Romantic Boutique Escape Above Tamborine Mountain
Discover an elevated hideaway on Tamborine Mountain at The Tamborine, a chic boutique hotel offering modern luxury amidst world-class natural beauty. Just an hour's drive from Brisbane (or 30 minutes from the Gold Coast), this stylish retreat is ideal for couples, creatives, and nature lovers seeking serenity and sophistication.
Inspired Design & Serene Atmosphere
The Tamborine redefines what a boutique hotel can be in the Scenic Rim. Reimagined from an 1980s hacienda-style motel, each of the 23 intimate rooms features king-size bedding, smart TVs, and private balconies or terraces offering sweeping escarpment views. The central lounge “hub” hosts hosted afternoon aperitifs—dubbed “Peacock O’Clock”—alongside poolside snacks and wellness touches.
Rooms Made for Relaxation
Two room types offer elevated comfort:
Scenic Room – Balcony (upper floor): private terrace, king bed, ensuite bathroom, and views.
Scenic Room – Terrace (ground floor): garden-level terrace, equally serene.
All rooms include gestures like unlimited Nespresso, Love Tea, Moda sparkling water, fast Wi‑Fi, Leif bathroom products, robes, slippers, and screen‑casting TV.
Wellness & Hospitality Focused on Sustainability
Guests can relax in the heated mineral pool and spa, enjoy bar snacks and minibar offerings, access local produce at “The Pantry,” and unwind in indoor and outdoor lounging spaces. The Tamborine emphasizes environmental responsibility—using sustainable materials, eliminating on-site single-use plastic, and supporting local vendors.
Explore Tamborine Mountain
Just minutes away, Tamborine Mountain offers rainforest trails, art galleries, wineries, and scenic hikes. Highlights include the Palm Grove and Witches Falls circuits within Tamborine National Park, and the popular Gallery Walk for boutique shopping and local eateries.
Why It Stands Out
Minimalist boutique vibe: Only 23 rooms, sophisticated design, and genuine connection to nature.
Stunning views from everywhere: Room terraces overlook escarpments, rainforest, and sky.
Thoughtful inclusions: Breakfast, aperitifs, snacks, drinks, and sustainability built in.
Prime hinterland location: Close enough for day trips to the coast or Brisbane, yet perfectly peaceful.
Guests consistently praise the hotel’s warm service, aesthetic feel, and relaxing ambiance:
“Lovely hotel, very comfortable rooms… stunning views…”
“Staff were lovely, views amazing… great breakfast included.”
Summary
If you’re craving an elevated escape where thoughtful design meets hinterland beauty, The Tamborine presents the perfect blend. With curated local touches, effortless style, and a peaceful yet sophisticated setting, it’s a serene boutique retreat that inspires connection and calm.
