Mount Tamborine Retreat - A Touch of Luxury Surrounded by Forest

"The skies open above you, and the areas open around you"
D.H.Lawrence could have been referring to my Retreat!
Yurnga is a secluded Mountain Retreat, architect designed, located in a rainforest setting with a big view overlooking the Gold Coast. The house sits on a huge 3 acre block, complete with its' own rain forest and rolling green pastures. Share your breakfast with a kookaburra. sometimes they take up pole position on the verandah. You will never see our resident whip bird, but he certainly makes his presence felt.

Tamborine Mountain is part of the Scenic Rim. It has a unique climate and peculiar ecosystem which supports much diversity of fauna and flora. It boasts a tropical hinterland that must be experienced to be believed. Everywhere you turn you will see mountains.
Australia's most accessible World Heritage-listed rainforests are spread throughout the 8 National Parks of the Scenic Rim. Witches Falls is the oldest National park in Qld ( 1908). The natural landscape is stunning!
A variety of beautiful birds forage on the plant life and glo worms, luxurious fungi and other nocturnal creatures benefit from the minimum street lighting on the Mountain.

There is much to do and see:

The National Parks provide many days of exploration and enjoyment for bush walkers and bird watchers.
Off the Mountain, 30 minutes drive away, conveniently located on the M1 motorway, are 2 Fun Parks.
Wet & Wild. The new corkscrew water slide sends riders on rafts through an enclosed tube at speeds of up to 30 kmph. It is claimed to be the highest banking tubes in the world.!!
Dreamworld, also located on the M1 motorway is home to the Sumatran Tigers. they star in this headline act in 30 hectare fun park. Given their dwindling numbers, this is a memorable experience.
If you are a daredevil, you can hitch a ride with a local hang glider, or you can be an onlooker. Meander down Gallery Walk, a run of intriguing shops, restaurants, art galleries.
If food and wine are more to your taste, visit the Cheese Factory, or The Belgian Chocolate Shop, or the boutique breweries and distilleries
