Springbrook

Get to Know

World Heritage rainforest retreat in the hinterland

Springbrook is a World Heritage-listed rainforest plateau in the Gold Coast hinterland, rising to 990 metres and forming part of the ancient Tweed Volcano remnants. Known as the 'Switzerland of Queensland', this remote locality receives over 3,000mm of annual rainfall—the wettest place in subtropical Australia—nurturing rare Antarctic beech trees and endangered endemic species like the Springbrook Leatherwood. The Gondwana Rainforests here are among the most biodiverse in the southern hemisphere, attracting nature lovers and those seeking complete seclusion. Properties in Springbrook offer extraordinary privacy surrounded by national park, with many featuring stunning views across the Tweed Valley to Mount Warning. This tiny community of 700 residents values preservation and sustainable living in one of Australia's most ecologically significant landscapes.
