It is a special place to relax, unwind and enjoy the tranquillity of nature, close to the city, yet a world away!
Escape from the bustle of city life, with cosy fire and serene forest views. We take pride in the homely atmosphere, tasteful decor, attention to detail, and the personal touches of flowers, candles and chocolates.
The space

It occupies a separate wing of our house, and has a private entry from, and access to, the verandah which overlooks the rainforest.

All linen is provided, including electric blanket and doona. The suite opens to the verandah, with outdoor seating and a barbeque.

Guest access and local area
Guests are welcome to explore our extensive rainforest property, including our 750m rainforest track. Turkey's Nest is close to the local cafés and restaurant, and is less than a kilometre from the Maiala section of D'Aguilar National Park, which has a picnic area and a variety of bush walking tracks.
Mount Glorious is surrounded by D'Aguilar National Park. There are beautiful walking tracks through both rainforest and gum forest. At 620m above sea level, it is cooler than Brisbane in summer, and can get quite cold and misty in winter - a good time to sit in front of the fire with a glass of wine and a good book! A beautiful sculpture garden, in a rainforest setting, is open on Sundays. Day trips in the Brisbane Hinterland take you to Fernvale, Esk, Wivenhoe Dam, Dayboro and Mount Mee.
