Pethers Rainforest Retreat  

Perched high in the trees on Tamborine Mountain (North Tamborine), this luxury boutique rainforest retreat sits amid subtropical canopy minutes from Tamborine National Park (Joalah and Knoll sections). Nearby highlights include Witches Falls Winery, Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk and Tamborine Mountain Distillery, with Gold Coast theme parks within easy driving distance.

Ten secluded, individually styled Tree Houses deliver private balconies, floor-to-ceiling glass, king beds, fireplaces and a spa for two — pure adults-only romance. There’s also a fully equipped 4-bedroom Pethers House with private grounds, wrap-around balcony and its own kitchen and laundry, where families are welcome. Rooms and suites feature private kitchens or minibars, jetted tubs, daily housekeeping and thoughtful rainforest views.

Unwind in the on-site spa with massages, facials and body treatments or soak in private double spas and hot tubs while birdsong drifts through the canopy. Other perks include a fitness centre, library and picnic areas, golf within 3 km, tour desk and concierge services, complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self parking (roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge).

Conference and meeting facilities, a business centre and luggage storage make small events and work stays easy, plus complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.
