About this space

Tucked into the serene landscape of Tallebudgera Valley, The Gingerbread House is a lovingly restored 1970s cottage that brings French provincial charm to the hinterland. With heritage trees, sweeping lawns, and views across a peaceful creek, this shoot-ready home is pure visual poetry—just 20 minutes from Burleigh Beach and 30 minutes from Gold Coast Airport.

Every detail of this reimagined cottage has been curated with creatives in mind. Inside, natural light floods through traditional windows, casting warmth across soft textures, romantic tones, and carefully layered styling. The pitched-roof bedroom upstairs is a standout—full of old-world charm and storybook lines, perfect for bridal portraits or editorial close-ups. Downstairs, the open-plan living area balances rustic touches with refined finishes, offering a versatile backdrop for fashion, family, and lifestyle content.

Outside, the scene expands: vine-framed verandas, timber fences, and manicured garden paths set the tone for nostalgic, open-air storytelling. The creek’s edge becomes a magical setting at golden hour, with dappled light flickering through the trees and reflections dancing across the water. Whether you’re capturing a still moment under a leafy canopy or shooting wide across the open paddocks, the landscape offers scale, softness, and intimacy in every frame.

This is a space that invites you to slow down and sink in. Creatives can move easily between zones, with seamless access to shoot indoors and out. From morning mist on the lawn to the glow of dusk behind the trees, The Gingerbread House offers a full-day shoot flow that’s both flexible and inspiring.

Designed for editorial teams, bridal stylists, content creators, and family photographers alike, this Gold Coast cottage is more than a backdrop—it’s a character-rich canvas built for visual storytelling.
