Mount Tamborine (including the villages of North Tamborine, Eagle Heights, Tamborine Village and Canungra) boasts fertile soil and an excellent climate, which make it the ideal location for a number of successful wineries and means that a variety of local fresh produce is regularly on offer. The charm of the Mountain village, together with the wide variety of visitor accommodation, makes Mount Tamborine the perfect tranquil retreat for many local and interstate tourists.

Retirees are typically attracted to the serenity of the environment and the range of peaceful leisure activities, such as gardening and bird watching, which the area is renowned for.

The abundance of national parks and nature reserves in the area offer a range of walking tracks, picnic spots and picturesque lookouts. As such, Mount Tamborine is a popular location for people who enjoy the outdoors. Rapid population growth throughout Southeast Queensland and the resultant expansion of infrastructure have threatened the sanctuary of quiet communities like Mount Tamborine but measures have been taken to avoid this. Mount Tamborine forms part of the Beaudesert Shire, which has imposed restrictions on further subdivision in the area. As a result, the availability of vacant land in the area has significantly decreased and prices have risen accordingly in recent years. Housing choices are diverse and buyers will find it relatively easy to find a home to suit their tastes and budget. Mount Tamborine offers a wonderful selection of neat and tidy cottages. Some of these homes are brick and tile, others are built of Western Red Cedar or Hardiplank. Due to the suburb's unique location on an escarpment, even some of the budget priced homes enjoy stunning views to the Coast or over rainforest settings. Source: REIQ
