Morning coffee on a rainforest balcony at Tamborine Mountain Glades
Midweek Escape · Tamborine Mountain

Unplanned Escape.

You've been meaning to take a break. The mountain is quieter midweek — the tracks are yours, breakfast runs slow, and late checkout means no one's rushing you anywhere. 45 minutes from the Gold Coast. One hour from Brisbane.

Rainforest Accommodation
Woodland glamping, Vista Suites, self-contained lodges or hillside rooms — all set in the rainforest on Tamborine Mountain. Choose the style that suits you and we'll take care of the rest.

Breakfast Included
Wake up and eat slowly. Buffet breakfast in the Rainforest Restaurant — hot food, fresh options and a view that makes it easy to stay for another coffee before the morning gets going.

Late Checkout
No alarm, no rush. Late checkout means the morning is entirely yours — a walk through the rainforest, a long soak, or another slow hour on the balcony before heading home.

Midweek favourite
Woodland Glamping
Under canvas.
Under the rainforest.

Proper glamping — proper beds, fire pit, rainforest shower and a setting that puts you genuinely in the bush, not just near it. And right now, there's no better time to sink into a heated plunge pool or jacuzzi and let the cool mountain air do the rest.*

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

Can't find what you're after? Call us on 07 5545 7900 and we'll sort it out.

Why is midweek better on Tamborine Mountain?
The mountain runs at a different pace during the week. Walking tracks are quieter, the restaurant is more relaxed, SOL Elements Bathhouse has more space, and you get the rainforest largely to yourself. Weekends are great — midweek is something else entirely.
Which nights does the Unplanned Escape apply to?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night arrivals. The offer is valid for stays booked within three weeks of your arrival date, subject to availability at time of booking.
How far is Tamborine Mountain Glades from the Gold Coast and Brisbane?
Approximately 45 minutes from the Gold Coast and around one hour from Brisbane — making it one of the easiest escapes in South East Queensland. No long drive, no extensive planning. Just go.
What exactly is included in the package?
Rainforest accommodation in your chosen style, buffet breakfast in the Rainforest Restaurant, and late checkout. You'll also receive an exclusive TMG guest discount for SOL Elements Bathhouse weekday sessions — sent privately with your booking confirmation.
What can we do while we're there?
Plenty — and most of it is right on the doorstep. The Canyon Flyer guided zipline at Thunderbird Park departs daily at 1:30pm. Adventure Mini Golf and the Thunderegg Crystal Mine run daily (book through Thunderbird Park). DIG IT — the hands-on dinosaur dig experience — runs on Wednesdays only, also through Thunderbird Park. SOL Elements Bathhouse is onsite. The Rainforest Restaurant serves breakfast daily, lunch on weekends, and dinner Wednesday through Saturday. Bush walks, rock pools, pickleball and the art gallery are all on the property.
Is this offer available for families, not just couples?
Absolutely — the Unplanned Escape is open to everyone. Children under 5 stay free. Self-contained lodges are ideal for families with more space and full kitchen facilities, and selected glamping sites are pet friendly. Take a look at the accommodation options above to find what suits your group.
