Reconnect with the rainforest with a trip to Tamborine Mountain. This luscious region tucked into the spectacular Scenic Rim sits on the doorstep of the cities of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and offers a chance to immerse yourself in the great outdoors. After days spent trawling the walking tracks which wind their way through the foliage, gazing at the resident waterfalls, and paying a visit to the neighbouring vineyards, rest your head at one of the best Tamborine Mountain accommodation options.
