Scenic Rim Accommodation

 

Good old fashioned country hospitality is something we do well in the Scenic Rim. Look for quaint farm-houses with old-fashioned cooked breakfasts or a charming Mt Tamborine Federation Residence like Amore B&B. There is a lot to see and do when you choose Scenic Rim Accommodation for your next short break. Yes it is a great place to stay.

The emergence of Tamborine Mountain as a tourism destination had its genesis in the development of traditional B&B’s and Guesthouses. Tourists from Brisbane and the surrounds seeking to unwind in a restful and relaxing atmosphere flocked to the B&B’s in the area.

Nothing has changed. Amore B&B continues the tradition. Experience great hospitality, extensive local knowledge of all that Mt. Tamborine and  the surrounds has to offer, welcoming, inviting and with personal attention, we are always ready to show you a brilliant time. The perfect Central Location in a natural setting.

Amore B&B is a Federation style building with 4 ensuited Guest Rooms.

Enjoy the charming lounge room with the baby grand piano, extensive and interesting library and comfortable lounge furniture.

Snuggle up or stretch out and spend sometime leafing through a magazine, reading a book from the library or enjoy playing a board game.  In the cooler months the fireplace is blazing and the glowing embers are very soothing.

There is a Guest’s Dining Room for your convenience if you elect to dine in.  Let us know when you want to use the Dining Room and we will ensure that all necessary crockery, cutlery and glassware is available. No need to wash up or clean up after you finish, just head off to your room and we will do the clean up.

Scenic Rim Accommodation is situated in a group of forested mountain ranges of the Great Dividing Range straddling the border between south-eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales, Australia.

The mountainous landscape forms a quarter circle ridge positioned roughly from south of Toowoomba around to Springbrook. Tamborine Mountain, Lever’s Plateau and the Lamington Plateau are all part of the rim formation. The Scenic Rim is considered part of the Gold Coast hinterland. Parts of the region are well developed, crossed by highways with facilities for tourists like Cunninghams Gap, others are privately owned agricultural properties and rural villages such as Beechmont and Tamborine Mountain. Much of the rest is protected in national parks and nature reserves which you can explore when you choose one of the Scenic Rim Accommodation options for your stay.

Ranges

Environment

The geology and landscape of the Scenic Rim is largely volcanic in origin, deriving from the prehistoric Tweed Volcano, including the Mount Warning shield volcano, and the Focal Peak and Main Range volcanic rocks. Some areas of sedimentary origin include parts of Mount Barney and eastern Lamington national parks. The deeply weathered, mainly basaltic, soils support rainforest and vine thicket ecosystems, as well as rare eucalypt and grassland communities. The area has a subtropical climate with (at the lowest altitudes) average minimum winter temperatures of 6°C, average maximum summer temperatures of 29°C, and average annual rainfall of 1555 mm.

Protected areas

Areas protected in national parks and other conservation reserves include the Border Ranges National Park, Glen Rock Regional Park, Koreelah National Park, Lamington National Park, Limpinwood Nature Reserve, Main Range National Park, Mebbin National Park, Moogerah Peaks National Park, Mount Barney National Park,  Mount Warning National Park, Numinbah Nature Reserve and Springbrook National Park. Parts of the Scenic Rim are listed as a World Heritage site, and some are designated Wilderness Areas. Great areas to experience when you choose one of the Scenic Rim Accommodation options for your stay.

Important Bird Area

A 1351 km² area encompassing the Scenic Rim has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports populations of endangered eastern bristlebirds, black-breasted button-quails, rufous scrub-birds, Albert’s lyrebirds, pale-yellow robins, paradise riflebirds, green catbirds, regent bowerbirds and Australian logrunners. There are also historical and recent sight records of the critically endangered Coxen’s fig parrot.
