The Lakehouse

This single-room cabin sits on thirteen acres above a spring-fed lake, with sweeping views across the water and surrounding mountains. The generous deck makes the most of the setting, where morning coffee comes with birdsong and regular visits from local wildlife. Inside, the kitchenette covers the basics with a microwave, air fryer, cookplate and bar fridge, while a Sonos speaker and air conditioning add comfort to the compact space.

You're only twelve minutes from Tamborine's cafes and walking tracks, but the fire pit and quiet lakeside location might keep you closer to home. The lake is yours to explore, and the outdoor dining area catches the afternoon light. Guests have the run of the grounds except the owner's residence and work areas.
