St. Bernards
Sixty years ago (long time between visits) our family visited St Bernards at Tamborine Mountain to drop my aunty off who was staying for a week's holiday. I vaguely remember a natural swimming pool in the creek beside (pool has now gone), some lovely paths and views out the back (see recent image) and not much more. I don't think we even went in!
Here is a historical note from its website -
"Let us introduce you to Tamborine’s oldest and most iconic pub – St Bernard’s Hotel. A favourite establishment with both locals and tourists alike, take Alpine Terrace off the main tourist track and you’ll find us located on the edge of an ancient volcanic escarpment; a backdrop where you can come and experience the warmth and hospitality of country dining, whilst indulging in sweeping views of Tamborine Valley overlooking the Guanaba Gorge, northern Gold Coast out to Stradbroke Island, and the Pacific Ocean.
Built in 1881, St Bernards Hotel became licensed in 1915, and since then has invited guests in the area to enjoy casual dining in our pub overlooking the breathtaking surroundings, or appreciate our beautiful grounds when celebrating a special occasion with loved ones. Anyone who has visited us will know that the warmest welcomes will always come from Cooper & Norman – our two very friendly resident St Bernards dogs – who can even participate in your upcoming nuptials should you choose!
If you want to experience something truly unique and special to the area, a trip to Tamborine Mountain wouldn’t be complete without a visit to St Bernards Hotel."
