The Hillside Villa

This single-level guesthouse sits on Tamborine Mountain with sweeping views over the Gold Coast skyline and surrounding hinterland. The villa sleeps two in one bedroom and has a bathroom plus powder room. The compact kitchen comes with a fridge, microwave and basic cooking setup. You'll find air conditioning, heating, a ceiling fan and a television, plus wireless internet throughout.

The pool and hot tub are shared with guests from the adjacent property. There's outdoor furniture and a barbecue grill for your use, with free parking on site. Your hosts greet you on arrival and can arrange early luggage drop-off. You'll need a car here as the location is a short drive from shops, but that puts you close to mountain walking trails while keeping things peaceful.
