Tamborine Mountain Glades

Tamborine Mountain Glades is a stylish bush retreat nestled within a 114 ha world of adventure at Thunderbird Park and surrounded by the lush natural beauty of Cedar Creek. Located in the foothills of the Gold Coast Hinterland, this idyllic family getaway is just an easy one hour drive from Brisbane.

Perfect for families who love their creature comforts but like to get active amongst the great outdoors, the accommodation ranges from well-appointed 2, 3 and 4-bedroom family lodges to tastefully renovated rooms within the Hillside Lodges with vistas of expansive green fields, lakes and forested hills. 

Thunderbird Park has a fantastic range of activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including Treetop Challenge Adventure Park - Australia's highest ropes and zipline park, featuring 3 epic high ropes adventures, a mega zipline Canyon Flyer, where you can fly at 70km/h, suspended 70m above ground, and a special Junior Flyer zipline course for 3 to 7 year olds.

For something less adrenaline-pumping, but just as much fun, there's also the opportunity to fossick for hidden treasure at the world famous Thunder Egg and Crystal Mine. You can also treat the family to a mini-golf challenge at Adventure Mini Golf or a Laser Skirmish battle in the rainforest.

The Cedar Creek region of Tamborine Mountain is also renowned for its cascading rock swimming pools which run through Thunderbird Park and these are easily accessed from Tamborine Mountain Glades, a short distance away.

Whilst the family lodges have state-of-the-art modern self-catering facilities, you can also dine onsite at Thunderbird Park.

The Rainforest Restaurant & Lounge Bar offers a top-notch yet highly affordable foodie's menu suited to families in a beautiful rainforest setting. There's also the super-casual Terrace Kiosk (licensed), which is conveniently located near the entry/exits of the park's activities and is the ideal spot for a pre-or post-adventure meal or snack.

Nice to know - Tamborine Mountain Glades have a helipad for direct landing near their lake and an EV Charge Station for guests with an electric vehicle.

Good to know - If you're travelling with your pooch, Tamborine Mountain Glades offer pet-friendly accommodation.
