Set high on the ridgeline of Tamborine Mountain, this extraordinary estate blends heritage, hospitality, and heart into one unforgettable property. Once a simple church and now a multi-purpose lifestyle destination, it's a place where history, romance, and business all come together.
Originally built in the late 1800s, the main hall remains the soul of the estate - a breathtaking space of stained-glass windows, soaring ceilings and polished timber pews. It's a setting that has hosted generations of weddings, music, and community gatherings, framed by manicured lawns, a storybook bridge, and tranquil fishpond.
The Grand Chameleon - Function Centre, Restaurant & Bar
The Grand Chameleon captures timeless elegance with crisp white interiors, blue trims, chandeliers, and two open fireplaces that invite guests to gather in warmth and style.
A fully equipped commercial kitchen, wine bar and service area make it a ready-to-operate function centre or restaurant, complete with:

Magnolia House - Onsite Accommodation
Privately positioned within the grounds, the five-bedroom Queenslander residence offers classic mountain character with wraparound verandas and leafy outlooks. Perfect as an owner's home, bridal party retreat, or boutique accommodation, it connects seamlessly to the main event spaces while offering comfort and privacy.
Camellia Cottage
Nestled among the gardens, the Honeymoon Cottage offers a romantic self-contained hideaway for newlyweds or short-stay guests. Surrounded by lush greenery and hedged pathways, it adds charm and flexibility to the estate's accommodation options.
Memory Lane - Retail & Tourism
Adding another layer of income potential, the on-site retail space currently operates as an antiques and collectables store. Its visibility and foot traffic make it ideal for tourism retail, a creative studio, or gallery conversion - providing yet another dimension to the property's commercial versatility.
Grounds & Infrastructure
Every corner of the estate tells a story. Roman statues, stone tables, hedged pathways, and an iron dome gazebo create natural photo settings and tranquil garden spaces. A dedicated firepit area offers a gathering place under the stars, while the flowering Jacaranda tree paints the property in spectacular seasonal colour.
Beyond its beauty, the estate is thoughtfully equipped for both lifestyle and productivity. Nine mature avocado trees add a unique agricultural aspect to the property - an established orchard with genuine income-producing potential, complementing the estate's diverse commercial opportunities.

- Two bore pumps and three water tanks supporting the gardens year-round
- 10×30m shed with mezzanine for equipment and storage

Together, these elements make the property as functional as it is beautiful - a rare balance between charm and commercial readiness.
- Licences & Compliance
- Extended Liquor Licence
- Full Food Licence
- Upgraded Noise Limit Approval
- Fully compliant for weddings, events, and restaurant operations
