QCCC started on the Gold Coast’s Tamborine Mountain in 1971, one of many partners with the neighbouring Mount Tamborine Convention Centre. Over the years QCCC has developed its own site, and assumed responsibility for neighbouring properties to create an innovative and flexible Gold Coast school camp venue. Extensively renovated over the past decade, QCCC Tamborine offers modern accommodation, world-class catering and an extremely comfortable, versatile venue. Twenty Outdoor Education activities have been added in the last five years making QCCC Tamborine a great option for your next Gold Coast group accommodation booking.
Located only 30kms from the Gold Coast and 70kms from Brisbane, QCCC Tamborine is an ideal place to breathe in fresh mountain air, take in breathtaking views, and enjoy the laid back country charm. The site has one of the best views available in Queensland with a sweeping 360 degree vista of Brisbane, Moreton Bay and the Scenic Rim Hinterland. With access to 50 acres of land, QCCC’s partnership with Vertec Adventure provides more than twenty Outdoor Education activities, making it a sought-after destination for school and youth camps in Queensland. QCCC Tamborine’s also specialises in Theme Park accommodation camps at nearby attractions on the Gold Coast.
There are 4 individual venues within the precinct that can be booked on an ‘exclusive’ or ‘shared site’ basis.
They can be booked individually or for large groups on a multi basis, from groups of minimum 20 up to 298 (and up to 500 for school-aged groups during school term, using neighbouring venues within the same precinct).
