Romantic Mountain-Edge Retreat with Ocean Views

Perched on the mountain edge at Eagle Heights, this self-contained cottage for two opens onto sweeping views that take in the hinterland valleys, Pacific Ocean and Gold Coast skyline. The space has been recently renovated with an open plan that draws those vistas indoors, while outside a gazebo with barbecue offers a front-row seat to watch the sun move across the coast. The surrounding forest is home to koalas, pademelons, wedgetail eagles and water dragons that visit the property's brook.

Inside you'll find a functional kitchen with pod coffee machine, comfortable lounges, and thoughtful touches like bedside USB ports and a Yamaha Bluetooth sound system. The fireplace, air conditioning and ceiling fan cover all seasons. Tamborine's wineries, walking trails and lookouts are nearby, but the cottage itself encourages a slower pace—perfect for couples wanting genuine time away from everything else.
