Mount Tamborine: Hidden Property Value

Mount Tamborine sits 65km south of Brisbane, on the Gold Coast hinterland plateau. Mount Tamborine provides the base-of-mountain lifestyle with easier Gold Coast access than the plateau above. The tourism economy around Cedar Creek and the waterfalls attracts visitor spending. Property values are supported by the dual Brisbane-Gold Coast access and hinterland lifestyle appeal.
