Tamborine Mountain Glades (formerly Cedar Creek Lodges) is a premier rainforest wedding destination on Tamborine Mountain within the Gold Coast hinterland. Nestled alongside the cascading Cedar Creek and lush Tamborine National Park, our award-winning wedding venues are surrounded by subtropical rainforest.
Guests are comfortable and relaxed as their immediate vista encompasses a waterfall tumbling over mossy pebbles and rocks, falling to a delicate canal, bridged gently by a timber walkway. Their backdrop is the ever-imposing rainforest, with the bridal party centre-stage on the timber platform below.
As the groom waits under the elevated beams suspended by fragrant jasmine encrusted pillars, his bride steps across a stone arched bridge and magically approaches through a winding woodland path. Dancing shadows, dappled sunlight, trickling water and birdsong add to the ambience as the happy couple takes their vows.
The all-weather canopy is an exceptional architectural feature in an outstanding location. This majestic venue links with the enchanting Island Glade reception venue.
By day this enchanting venue is softly lit as dappled sunlight filters through the lush rainforest greenery. Colourful songbirds add to the magic. By night candles and a creek side bonfire create another element.
The ambience is enhanced by the velvet sky and silver stars. Candles suspended from the tiered roofline bathe the Island Glade in soft light as an illuminated waterfall dances on the pebbled rock pools.
The Island Glade can be decorated to complement the wedding theme and the natural rainforest greenery. Parties of 50 or more guests can indulge the senses with fine food, wine and the natural magic of this unique rainforest location.
A variety of other stunning receptions venues are available for you to choose from.
