Tamborine Mountain State School Markets — Local services in Tamborine Mountain

Wonderful! Today we went for a leisurely drive up to Tambourine Mountain. Our goal, go to the school mountain markets, buy mum some lavender gifts, buy some fresh Avocado's, a custard apple, fresh honey, eat dutch pancakes for a snack and have a browse around. We were so Impressed! We lined up outside the entrance. Scanned our id pic, given face masks, sanitiser. Few people in at a time, all spaced 1.5m apart. Line moved quickly. So impressed. Loveliest markets. Beautiful stalls, lovely lavender gifts, gorgeous smelling soaps, handmade leather goods, oil burners, home made cakes, plants, herbs, clothes, trinkets, English toy cars, CDs and so much more. We didnt find any honey sadly, we asked but no one had any. Maybe wrong season, no custard apples either, maybe wrong season, no fruit n vegies at all not even one avocado for sale. These were only things lacking, we looked but had lots of other things to buy. We had some great dutch pancakes..quick and delicious, yummiest. We left after an hour and soon saw many road side stalls with Avocados. Pesticide free, cheap and lots available. So we bought lots.

Fabulous day out, markets were the best. Well organised, lots of covid safe steps taken to the extreme which made us all feel safe and appreciated the organisers efforts. Next time you take a drive to Tambourine try to coincide it with the dates of these markets! You will have a...

I found the quality of this market has degraded since we last visited 2 years ago. The food offerings are too duplicated with multiple sausage vans instead of the nice variety available previously which included Thai, Japanese and other western food. The milk shakes were thin and poor value for money. The arts and crafts stalls were reasonable but frankly the markets in Burleigh and Main Beach offer again more variety and in Burleigh's case, better quality. The environment is still wonderful for a light bite and shopping among the trees and with the fabulous view just down the road at the hang glider launching area. Still worth a visit but has lost much of its charm for us. Would...

Normally I really hate going to market's because they are full of fraudsters and others who only care for themselves. But this market actually has people that put in the hard work for very little self gain. Rather than charge retail value for below retail worth. It still has same fraudsters but you can see only the people who don't know how to spend money go to them while everyone flocks...
