Mountain Escape Cozy 3-Bedroom Retreat

This three-bedroom cottage in North Tamborine sits close enough to Witches Falls that you could start the walk before breakfast. The place sleeps six across three bedrooms with two bathrooms, and there's proper heating for those cold mountain nights along with air conditioning and fans when you need them. The kitchen has everything you'd expect for self-catering, plus filtered water. Inside you'll find a TV and sound system, arcade games and kids' books if you're travelling with children.

Outside there's a basketball court and a fire pit where you can sit once the sun drops behind the ridge. The host provides one bag of firewood but suggests checking fire restrictions before your stay. From here you're within easy reach of the mountain's cafes, wineries and rainforest tracks, with several lookouts nearby. There are security cameras monitoring the exterior of the property.
