Binna Burra Mountain Lodge

Perched inside Lamington National Park, under an hour from the Gold Coast and about 90 minutes from Brisbane. Surrounded by ancient rainforest and more than 160 km of walking tracks, this family-friendly rainforest lodge puts waterfalls, lookouts and wilderness on your doorstep.

Cabins pair updated comforts with an unplugged vibe—no phones, clocks, radios or TVs—so the forest takes center stage. Acacia Rooms have en suites and balconies with Numinbah Valley or rainforest views and come in double, twin or family layouts. Casuarina Rooms are heritage-listed, guesthouse-style rooms with nearby shared bathroom facilities.

Pamper yourself at the on-site spa with massages and facials. Daily guided walks, cliff-top picnic spots and over 160 km of trails make exploration easy. For thrill seekers there’s a 90 m abseil and a 160 m flying fox. The lodge offers supervised childcare and activities, plus barbecue grills for relaxed outdoor meals—wake up to misty rainforest mornings and birdsong.
