Where every age finds their wild side.
DIG IT, the Thunderegg Crystal Mine, TreeTop Challenge and premium rainforest accommodation — all on one property, an hour from Brisbane and 45 minutes from the Gold Coast.
Most family trips mean packing the car for a dozen different places — the accommodation here, the activities there, dinner somewhere else entirely. Our family accommodation on Tamborine Mountain is one destination: the rainforest, the rooms, the mini-excavators and the crystal mine, all part of the same day, without ever getting back in the car.
Kids over 5 drive solo, littlies under 5 ride on an adult's lap — and yes, the adults get a turn too. Genuinely one of a kind, and just as fun to watch as it is to drive.
Explore DIG IT →Take a pickaxe to ancient volcanic rock and fossick for your own thunderegg, millions of years in the making. We'll cut yours open to reveal what's inside, or try crystal panning instead.
Explore The Crystal Mine →From teenagers to grandparents, there's a reason for everyone to come along — among the best things to do on Tamborine Mountain with the whole family.
A scaled-down rope course built specifically for ages 4 to 8 — real adventure, sized right for little ones.
The full rope course and canopy obstacles for bigger kids through to adults — a genuine challenge among the treetops.
Nine holes that genuinely work for every generation — bring the grandparents along too.
Rainforest trails that follow the water — as short or as long as little legs can manage.
Easy to pick up, hard to put down — a fun way for the whole family to burn some energy.
Perfect in any weather — DIG IT, the Crystal Mine and TreeTop all keep running, rain or shine. And when you're ready to warm up, your room is right there to dry off and settle back in.
Cedar Creek running over stone, cicadas in the canopy, and somewhere close by, kids laughing at something only they find funny.
Sunlight breaking through the rainforest canopy, a mini-excavator bucket lifting its first scoop of dirt, and a crystal catching the light for the first time.
The crunch of gravel underfoot on the trail, cool creek water on tired feet, and the particular kind of quiet that only comes after a full day outdoors.
Or let them run wild for the day, and find a quiet moment of your own while they do. Either way, everyone sleeps well tonight.
Family holidays aren't just for the kids. While they're busy discovering DIG IT, TreeTop Challenge or the Crystal Mine, take a moment to slow down at SOL Elements Bathhouse — Australia's first elemental bathhouse, right here on the mountain.
Step into warm mineral pools, experience the Float Cave or slow down with a restorative bathhouse session. SOL Elements gives parents and carers the chance to recharge while the rest of the family continues exploring everything on the mountain.
Pair a family stay with our Midweek Escape for a quieter mountain and easier days with younger children — but this is genuinely an all-ages destination, any day of the week.
DIG IT, the Thunderegg Crystal Mine and TreeTop Juniors (ages 4 to 8) are all built with little ones in mind — hands-on, low-pressure, and endlessly fun.
TreeTop Adventures gives older kids and teenagers their own kind of challenge — genuinely testing, not just kid stuff.
Adventure Mini Golf is an easy, genuine multi-generational activity — everyone can join in, no exceptions.

Robert Bell · Google ReviewThis is such an amazing place to come with the family. Has something for everyone. Loved the digger land. The bathhouse looks like a great place to unwind. Camping facilities are excellent - they’ve been recently upgraded. And the restaurant / bar and lounge is a great place for lunch and dinner!
