The Restaurant
at Hilltop Estate

Our restaurant is taking a short break. We can't wait to welcome you back to the Skyview Balcony soon.

The Room

Breakfast with a view
that never gets old

Our restaurant sits on the Skyview Balcony, perched on the edge of Tamborine Mountain. Open air, slow service, and a panorama that runs from the hinterland ranges out to the Gold Coast skyline.

A taste of what we
cook
