Tamborine Creek Stay | Cosy Fireplace, Theme Parks & Mount Tamborine
Cockatoo Cottage at Tamborine Creek Stay is just minutes from Gold Coast theme parks and the World Heritage Listed beauty of Mount Tamborine. Unwind by the fireplace, or gather around the fire pit overlooking the creek and enjoy the tropical forest surroundings. Rainforest bush walks, wine tastings, dining and local shops are a short distance away. Famous Gold Coast beaches beckon for those sunny Queensland days. Our home is central to all things memorable and fun! Enquire about long term stays.
This recently renovated home is modern and very comfortable for your stay. Rustic wooden features and indoor fireplace create a cosy, warm atmosphere.
Step outside to a large patio for those warm alfresco BBQ nights, or head across the creek bridge to the fire pit area. We have spotted platypus, ducks and turtles in Wongawallan Creek which runs along the back of the property.
The open-plan design seamlessly connects the spacious living, dining, and kitchen areas, providing a perfect flow to the green outdoor spaces. Our kitchen is the heart of the home, and fully equipped with everything you need to cook up a storm!
Unwind in comfort in the master bedroom with ensuite and built-in robes overlooking the trees and Wongawallan valley bushland. An additional Queen bedroom includes full wardrobes, and the two single beds in the third bedroom can comfortably accommodate an extra trundle bed upon request.
All beds are made with quality linen and fresh quality towels are provided. Extra towels are provided for beach days (please use instead of our white towels).
Free unlimited wi-fi and smart tv for streaming via your accounts.
ACCESSIBILITY The entire house is yours to enjoy! There are a couple of steps from the patio to the backyard and then over the bridge to the firepit area.
PARKING Ample parking is available in the driveway as signed. Garage is not accessible to guests.
CHILDREN/INFANTS Children are welcome please advise on booking how many children will stay and if you have a baby. Young children MUST be supervised as we are located along a creek which is not fenced. Portacot and high chair available upon request.
CREEK We are currently improving our property to include a future outdoor bath platform overlooking the creek, and regenerating the creek access. Access to the lower creek area is possible via the back right of the backyard and you are welcome to swim in the cool water (weather and conditions permitting). We ask you to take care and watch young ones at all times. The creek area is a stunning area with a wonderful bounty of native wildlife including turtles and platypus.

Hosting is such a joy for me, as I love meeting new people and making sure your stay feels comfortable and welcoming, with a home thoughtfully designed and equipped for all your holiday needs.
Why they chose this property
I grew up visiting the world-famous golden beaches, then later discovered the beautiful rainforest walks of Mount Tamborine. Whether it’s thrilling days at the theme parks, browsing designer outlets at Harbour Town or Pacific Fair, or savouring a delicious meal at one of our many acclaimed restaurants, you’ll find the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation here like we have!
What makes this property unique
Cockatoo Cottage is almost fully surrounded by tree, birdlife and nature. The little entry creek (running intermittently) creates a unique babbling background sound, and the main creek is a wonderful source of wildlife such as turtles, ducks and even the elusive platypus! The wide open spaces and close proximity to local shops, Mount Tamborine and world famous theme parks makes this a great place to stay!
