Getting there
45 minutes from the Gold Coast

Springbrook is a rainforest plateau, a cool 900m above the Gold Coast, and it’s packed with ancient forests and more waterfalls than you can shake a damp stick at. Twin Falls is a 5-minute drive from the plateau's main hub, but staying closer means you can lace up your boots before the crowds arrive.

"Saying that this place is heavens on earth is probably an understatement. It was just incredible. The landscape is breathtaking, the rooms were spotlessly clean, bed was comfy, pillows were perfect thickness (not the classic, one is too thin two are too thick) Paul was a top notch cook. The lamb would melt in your mouth, the prawns sauce was delicious. Craig was so helpful and welcoming, made us feel that he was happy to have us there. Our pups also looooved the place and the squad there. Would definitely go back. Thanks guys for the amazing experience 🙏"

"From the moment we arrived, the customer service at Beechmont Estate was absolutely amazing. We were greeted with fresh juice and warm, freshly baked cookies, which immediately made us feel welcome and set the tone for our stay. Natalie and Yolanda were the perfect hosts — warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely. One of the standout moments was our picnic under the old fig tree, set in such a beautiful location . The picnic was divine, with a delicious spread of finger foods and Moët, making it feel incredibly special. Later in the afternoon, we sat outside sipping cocktails, soaking in the peaceful surroundings and stunning views — it was pure relaxation. We then spent time in the clubhouse, enjoying the outlook over the polo grounds while playing pool, before heading to dinner at the chef’s hatted restaurant. The food was outstanding — every one of us loved it. To top it all off, I was surprised with a beautiful plate of handmade chocolates to celebrate my birthday, which made the experience even more special and memorable. The grounds were incredibly lush and immaculately kept, and honestly, everything about our stay was perfect. It felt like a true escape — heaven on earth. We would highly recommend Beechmont Estate to anyone celebrating a special occasion or simply wanting a peaceful, luxurious getaway. We can’t wait to come back."

"Thank you Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat & staff, we had the most amazing getaway and we cant wait to return. The room we stayed in was so cosy and comfortable, with lovely views. It was so private & we felt like we were the only people on the planet for a few days which was so amazing. The perfect place to get a away from the grind of everyday life & just relax & reconnect. The dinner that we had (lamb shanks) was so delicous and we wish we had've ordered more dinners at the retreat. We also really enjoyed exploring the area on the ebikes. Thank you to the staff for making us feel so welcome also. We were so sad when it was time to check out."

About Springbrook

Twin Falls is one of Springbrook's icons. The 4km circuit walk takes you through ancient rainforest, past two cascading waterfalls. It’s a moderate hike, so wear sensible shoes. Allow about 1.5-2 hours to really soak it in. The best light for photos is usually morning, before the mist fully burns off.

Beyond Twin Falls, the Springbrook plateau is your oyster. Head to Natural Bridge (15 min drive) to see a waterfall plunge into a cave and, if you're lucky, witness the glow worm colonies at night. Purling Brook Falls is another stunner, with a 106-metre drop and a walk that takes you behind the falls. And for panoramic views that'll make you gasp? Best of All Lookout is a must, especially at sunrise.
