The “Tamborine Mountain Golf Course” was opened in 1958 and the Golf Club was established in 1962. The 9 hole course is 5490 meters long with 2 tees on each hole providing variation. Par for 18 holes is 70 for men and 72 for ladies.

Golfers will find our 480 meter above sea level course cooler by up to 5º than the Gold Coast and hopefully our layout enjoyable, but challenging. Situated on Tamborine Mountain, the surrounding area offers a quiet and relaxing location. Non golfers will enjoy the view of the Gold Coast from our deck. On cool days we have a fire burning for comfort.

Click on the yellow circle to find the WITCHES FALLS GIFT HOUSE on the main map!

Witches Falls Gift House

“Witches Falls Gift House” stocks a large range of sought after collectibles, including Shelly, Royal Doulton, Crown Derby, Wedgwood, Meakin, Kutani, Sathuma, Royal Dux, Lladro & Nao, Beswick, David Winter … to name a few.

People often ask “… why the name Witches Falls?” unaware that the area adjacent to the shop is “Witches Falls National Park” – the oldest National Park in Queensland.  It is rumoured that the name Witches Falls “stuck” after residents west of Tamborine Mountain saw lights on the side of the mountain many years ago, and attributed them to “the Mountain Witches …”.

Upon entering the “Witches Falls Gift House” there is first the expression of surprise – after all, from Main Western road the shop appears small, but then, when you come inside – “Oh … LOOK … my grandma had one of those …”  Shop owners Noelina & Phil Jackson often hear this comment as visitors start to browse through their assortment of old and collectable objects, precious things, antiques, curios and beautiful furniture.

Noel & Phil have spent a lifetime selecting interesting and rare items for you to see, admire, wonder at, and, if you really like, to buy at very reasonable prices.  Their collection of old world charmers include solid antiques of mahogany, walnut, oak and other rare and exotic timbers, which are usually marked for sale at prices below that which you would expect to pay for “modern” counterparts.

Phil combines his furniture making skills with a flair for bringing old pieces “back to life”. Repair and restoration of furniture is his preference, while Noelina is a skilled artisan with her sewing machine, materials and extensive range of old jewellery.

As you meander through the displays you will find antique Vaseline glass pieces complemented by old Viennese glassware, in turn contrasted by the stark white beauty of
