Discover the untouched charm of the Gold Coast hinterland, a hidden paradise boasting striking mountain views, cascading waterfalls, and luxurious bed and breakfast retreats. Experience the scenic tranquillity of Mount Tamborine, just a stone's throw from your unforgettable hot air ballooning journey with us.

Why not couple your ballooning escapade with a stay at the serene Witches Falls Cottages, or indulge in the captivating ambience of Gallery Walk, featuring eclectic shopping spots and delectable dining options. Immerse yourself in the local culture with our fine wine tastings and artisanal cheese factories. Enjoy cosy winters nestled by the fireplace, or embrace the thrill of mountain biking during summer months.

Alternatively, consider a stay near Canungra, within close proximity to our breakfast venue at the renowned O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyard.

Wallaby Ridge is just a 20-minute drive from our meeting point, offering splendid views across the Scenic Rim and a perfect central location for exploration. Looking to intertwine nature with your getaway? We recommend the immersive O'Reilly's Rainforest Resort and Villas situated within the Lamington National Park.

Navigate our site to uncover more idyllic bed and breakfast or cottage properties scattered across the hinterland, and savour the exquisite hospitality on offer. Embark on the food and wine trail of the Scenic Rim, winding through Beaudesert, Boonah, and the Scenic Rim region for an epicurean adventure you won't forget.
