J.2/ Reconnect with Nature at The Maple Suite on Tamborine Mountain
There’s something magical about escaping to the mountain, and when you stay at The Maple Suite on Tamborine Mountain, nature isn’t just around you—it’s part of your experience.
Tucked away in the lush hinterland of Queensland’s Scenic Rim, our suite offers more than just a place to rest. It’s a sanctuary for those who crave stillness, greenery, fresh air, and the simple joy of being outdoors.
Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a midweek recharge, here are some of the best ways to connect with nature right from our doorstep.
1. Wander Through Rainforest Trails
Tamborine Mountain is famous for its ancient rainforests and well-maintained walking tracks. You don’t need a guide—just step outside. Within minutes of The Maple Suite, you’ll find:
Curtis Falls Walk – A short, shaded trail leading to a serene waterfall and rock pool, often frequented by lyrebirds.
Witches Falls Circuit – One of the oldest national parks in Queensland, this track winds through lush rainforest, seasonal lagoons, and volcanic rock formations.
Palm Grove & MacDonald Rainforest Walks – Easy circuits filled with towering palm trees, ferns, and the calming sound of birdlife.
All trails offer a cool reprieve and are a photographer's dream.
2. Picnic Among the Eucalyptus
Pack a basket and enjoy a lazy afternoon at one of the many scenic picnic spots:
Cedar Creek Falls – A favourite for its natural rock pools (perfect for a quick dip), surrounded by cliffs and native bushland.
Knoll Road Lookout – With sweeping views across the valley, it's ideal for a sunset cheese board.
We’re happy to recommend local delis and stores to stock your picnic!
3. Meet the Locals (Wildlife, That Is)
Wake up to the sounds of whipbirds and kookaburras, and keep an eye out for wallabies grazing at dawn and dusk. Nearby, you can also visit:
Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk – Explore the canopy on an elevated steel walkway through the forest.
Glow Worm Caves – A magical experience, especially for families or couples.
Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens – Peaceful, beautifully maintained gardens with resident ducks, frogs, and butterflies.
5. Stargaze by the Firepit
At night, pour a glass of wine, and let the stars put on a show. With minimal light pollution and clear mountain air, Tamborine Mountain offers some of the best stargazing in South East Queensland.
6. Morning Yoga on the Deck
The private outdoor deck and balcony is surrounded by trees and birdsong, making it the perfect spot for a quiet yoga flow or morning meditation. You’ll find a mat in the wardrobe.
