  • "We had the most beautiful stay at this Mt Tamborine cottage — it was the perfect little escape! The place was cozy, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, yet still close to great cafés and walks. The interiors were thoughtfully styled with lovely attention to detail, making it feel instantly relaxing and homely. We especially loved sitting on the deck in the mornings with coffee and watching the birds — such a perfect way to unwind. Everything was spotless and well-equipped, and check-in was smooth and easy. Highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains. We’ll definitely be back!"

  • "We stayed at Firefly Cottage for one night with three friends, and absolutely loved it. The home is freshly renovated - it even felt like we were the very first guests! The location is perfect: private and peaceful, yet within easy walking distance to Gallery Walk. Deanne was a wonderful host - friendly, proactive, and very thoughtful. She provided clear check-in and check-out instructions and kindly allowed us an early check-in, which worked perfectly as we could settle in and head out for a beautiful bush walk before sunset. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Mount Tamborine."

Where Comfort Meets Calm

Just one-kilometer metres from Gallery Walk yet worlds away from the bustle, Firefly Cottage is where warmth and stillness come together. Gather with friends beside the crackling wood fire, soak in the vintage clawfoot bath, and wake to the sound of kookaburras in the treetops.

Living room with beige sofas, wooden coffee table, window with white shutters, open door leading outside to a porch with seating surrounded by greenery.
