The Best Places To Stay In Australia's Scenic Rim

There is so much to see, do, eat and drink in Queensland’s beautiful scenic rim. While you might not be spending too much time indoors with so much to fill your days, you still want somewhere perfect to come ‘home’ to as a base. Winter is a particularly nice time to visit this region with many accommodation options hosting cosy private fire places to keep you snug.

1. Lisson Grove

Boutique Hotel

This resort is specially designed just for couples and couldn’t get more romantic for that weekend away together. With themed cottages, hampers filled with divine breakfast supplies and fresh bread delivered straight to your door, there are heaps of personalised options available just for you. Lisson Grove is up in the beautiful Tamborine Mountain with stunning views down below and picturesque walking tracks close by.

2. The Bunyip Scenic Rim Resort

Hotel, Resort

A small property perched on the beautiful Mount French, hosting a maximum of just 8 guests at a time, The Bunyip will make you feel very well tended to. This is a great place to stay if you’re wanting to reconnect with your partner or even a close pal, as you can enjoy a massage from the onsite massage therapist, play some lawn tennis or just enjoy a nice glass of red by the fireplace taking it all in.

3. Nightfall Camp

Step back from the hustle and bustle of the city and truly absorb everything Lamington National Park has to offer at Nightfall. Set by the beautiful and crystal clear waters of Christmas Creek and some lush rainforest, you can’t help but forget all your worries and feel totally relaxed here. Staying in the luxurious safari tents will give you the total back-to-nature experience without missing any of the luxuries of daily life. If you’re into organic eating, you’ll get some quality organic eats prepared for you here too.
