Gwongorella means Dancing Waters and you will hear the waters dancing by the door step of our Mongolian Ger=yurt or (round house) as you sleep under the stars. On clear night we leave the roof open to the night sky so you can watch the stars and the moon from your big comfy bed. This retreat will provide you with a unique magical experience tucked away in the World heritage listed Rainforest of Springbrook mountain. Step out our back door and into the National Park with Purlingbrook Falls being 50metres away literally. You can stroll to the top of the falls and the lookouts with your morning cup of tea, coffee or caocao. You also have a private waterhole in purling brook creek at your door step to swim in during summer and an indoor and outdoor fire place during winter nights. With our perfect location at the edge of the national park and at a cul de sac, our retreat offers absolute peace, quiet & tranquility with cafes at walking distance.

Springbrook is a place to disconnect from the chaos and connect with the calm of nature. Its close to the coast but miles away...There are no Public Transport, no petrol station, no ATM's, no restaurants in Springbrook except for a little local convenience store and a couple of cafes. You'll receive our welcome letter before you arrive to remind you to come prepared for your adventure in the mountains. The purling brook area is the centre of the mountain and only 30 minutes to Nerang our closest town. The two local cafes are within walking distance from the property through a nice little stroll in the park and is open from 10.30am-4pm. There are two more cafes at the top of the mountain. We are 30-50 minutes from the Gold Coast, 90 minutes from Brisbane & Byron Bay and 60 minutes from the airport.
