New hotel attraction for Tamborine Mountain
South East Queensland’s Scenic Rim has welcomed a new boutique hotel, The Tamborine.

Just an hour from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, The Tamborine offers a beautiful and stylish reimagining of a 1980s Hacienda-style motel, with breathtaking views from each of its 23 rooms, all featuring private balconies or terraces and luxe king beds.
The Tamborine is the creation of long-time friends and co-owners, Gina McNamara and Nina Aberdeen, who share a passion for curating exceptional experiences.
Their 40-year friendship, combined with their experience in the tourism and hospitality sectors, has fueled their vision to create memorable moments for their guests.
“We want guests to leave The Tamborine feeling enriched, connected, and eager to return,” said Ms Aberdeen.
“Whether it’s immersing oneself in nature, enjoying a tipple at one of the many emerging microbreweries and distilleries, or exploring the artisan wares the mountain is famous for, The Tamborine will be the perfect escape.”
Ms McNamara said the hotel was designed to seamlessly connect guests with the natural surroundings and the local community.
“Every detail has been crafted to ensure that when guests arrive, they feel a deep sense of relaxation and belonging,” Ms. McNamara said.
Executive Officer of Destination Scenic Rim Christelle Moller said Tamborine Mountain attracted more than 5,000 visitors per week, seeking both relaxation and adventure.
“The booming wedding industry injects over $20 million into the local economy every year, and as both the wedding and tourism sectors continue to grow, demand for accommodation has risen,” Ms Moller said.
“The Tamborine, with its beautifully redesigned boutique accommodation and thoughtfully curated experiences, provides a unique stay that complements the established boutique getaway cluster on the mountain.”
