The Barn - Tamborine Mountain . Cliff Face Lodge

This North American-style barn stands at the edge of Tamborine Mountain's escarpment, where the main upstairs bedroom captures sunrise views across rainforest canopy to the Gold Coast coastline. A Canadian builder crafted the timber structure, now filled with vintage pieces that suit the mountain setting. The second queen bedroom overlooks established gardens, while downstairs an open-plan kitchen and living area centres around the fireplace. Outside there's a hot tub and barbecue area with that same outlook toward the coast.

You're tucked into semi-rural quiet but within walking distance of local wineries, and a short drive reaches the brewery, cheese makers and Gallery Walk's cafes and studios. The property runs entirely on rainwater, so mindful use of taps helps during dry spells. Two bedrooms sleep four, with full kitchen, heating, and parking included.
