Hinterland

Our traditional Queenslander-style homestead is located at the end of a quiet mountain-top lane behind a secure gate, a private relaxed environment ready for you to enjoy. Our steep three acre property contains a fifty-meter-tall gum forest and a seasonal creek, with a sweeping coastal panoramic view wuth dormant volcanoes.

Down the garden steps at the Hinterland is a 40m croquet green perched on the terraced hillside, surrounded by soaring gum forest. Guests can also visit our chicken coop there and chicken transport tube to the top of the hill. The hillside below contains an acre of tea plants (camellia sinensis) and coffea arabica.

Our Hinterland property is surrounded by a massive national park with world-class cycling, mountain biking and hiking.
