Another world? Nope, this is Tamborine Mountain - a dreamy hinterland escape just an hour from Brisbane City in Scenic Rim.

Here you can break up rainforest strolls and waterfall swims with stops at boutique wineries, distilleries and bakeries.

Out of office on, world off 😮‍💨

Tucked into the mountains of the Scenic Rim, these six eco-conscious chalets at O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat come with sweeping views, private heated plunge pools and seriously luxe interiors.

The kind of place that makes you wonder: is this a stop on your Brisbane itinerary, or the whole reason for the trip?
