We browser around the shop - has an amazing variety of opals! After checking out several pieces we ended up drawn to an amazing ring. The overall experience was very pleasant and Darren and Mary Anne make you feel at home right away and are very patient and pleasant - servicing our every whim. If you like opals or jewelry in general - def a place to visit!

Natural Bridge

Reviewed By bobjanh - Brisbane, Australia

Natural Bridge is well worth a visit: sealed road access all the way with a well made 2km circuit track from the car park down to the rock formation and back. A bit steep in places but easily doable if slow and steady: I would recommend doing clockwise to get the easier uphill direction on return. Be sure to look for the bat colony when you get to the bottom.

Witches Falls Winery

Tamborine Mountain’s only 'working' winery. Sourcing our fruit from Ballandean in The Granite Belt QLD, producing 'unique, exceptional wine'

Reviewed By scottmcg65 - Brisbane, Australia

This small boutique winery is relaxing contemporary and Sienna our host for the Wine tasting was knowledgeable friendly and easy to chat to.. The wild fermented chardonnay has long been one of my favourite queensland whites and the 2018 vintage is no exception... Queensland wines are getting better and better every year.. So to those of you who turn up your nose at our wines I say give them a chance.... If you are visiting Tamborine Mountain then a trip to Witches Falls is a must....

Best Of All Lookout

Reviewed By kpiddy - Brisbane, Australia

This lookout certainly lives up to its name, it was by far the best on our recent day visit to the Springbrook Mountain, the lookout is located on the border of Queensland and New South Wales at the end of Repeated Station Road, Queensland. The path (700 metres return) is accessible to all, no stairs, sealed all the way with a bench seat at the lookout platform. The walk passes through prehistoric forest, checkout the ancient Antarctic Beech Trees 300 metres in on the path, they are protected within the Gondwana Rainforest of Australia World Heritage Area. Signs along the way to say to lookout for Albert's Lyrebirds and Richmond Birdwing butterflies, unfortunately we did not see any. The viewing platform is well positioned on the edge of the escarpment providing stunning views of the escarpment, over the Tweed Valley and down to Mount Warning in New South Wales. The best.

To celebrate milestones, Dad & I have made great memories horseback with Numinbah Trails. You have to try this! Your time will be marked by lovely, quiet, strong horses ... peaceful trails ... trotting, some gallops and riding through some magical shallow-ish water ... and a stop for damper along the way by the creek. The horses are loved and cherished by their operators and Numinbah Valley is a totally great spot to just generally recharge. Go! Recommended.
