Discover the calm of creeks and subtropical rainforest on Tamborine Mountain, where refined rooms, Creekside lodges and five-star glamping experiences await, set within the natural surrounds of Thunderbird Park. Comfort, nature and a sense of calm are right outside your door, with adventure and open space just moments away.
We know how much a calm breakfast or a relaxed lunch can mean, so you are invited to enjoy seasonal flavours at the Rainforest Restaurant or a casual moment at the Terrace Café whenever you feel like it.
If you are planning weddings or conferences, we would be honoured to host your special moments here in peaceful surroundings that have been recognised with national state and local awards.
Just under an hour from Brisbane and even closer from the Gold Coast, this quiet rainforest setting on Tamborine Mountain is here for you to reset, reconnect and find a little balance in nature.
Tamborine Mountain Glades began in 1999 when Bob and Judi Minnikin opened what was then Cedar Creek Lodges. From the very beginning, it has been a place where people come to experience quiet rainforest, gentle creeks and the natural beauty of the Scenic Rim and Gold Coast hinterland. Over more than 25 years, more than five million guests from around Australia and the world have stayed here, enjoying serene nature, creekside lodges, refined rooms and 5 star glamping under rainforest canopy.
We offer a range of accommodation, award-winning experiences, dining and venues for weddings and conferences that help you make lasting memories. As custodians of this land, we are committed to sustainability and preserving its beauty for you and future visitors.
