A Chapel with History

At the heart of our estate stands a chapel with over 120 years of history, lovingly transported from Warwick, Queensland. This heritage sanctuary has witnessed generations of celebrations, prayers, and promises.

With its soaring ceilings and large windows framing breathtaking mountain vistas, the chapel has been given new life on Tamborine Mountain — where it continues its legacy as a place where love stories begin.

Rebuilt stronger and more beautiful than ever

Our Story of Resilience

In December 2023, a tornado swept through Tamborine Mountain, leaving a path of destruction across the region. Trees fell, buildings were damaged, and Hilltop Estate faced an uncertain future.

What followed was a journey of renewal. With the support of our community and a shared commitment to create something truly special, we rebuilt the estate with care and intention. Every beam placed, every garden replanted, and every space designed reflects both restoration and fresh possibility.

Today, Hilltop Estate stands renewed — where our heritage chapel continues its story, and our new spaces offer a setting that unites timeless character with modern elegance.
