Spicers Peak Lodge

Queensland, Australia

Spicers Peak Lodge

Jump to:

Spicers Peak Lodge sits on a grassy plateau on Cedar Mountain, part of the Scenic Rim region in Queensland’s Main Range National Park. You approach it via a long, craggy road, but the climb’s worth it: once you step into the light-filled lounge of the main lodge, you gaze out over a hazy horizon of mountain spurs, gum forest, and open, gently undulating pastureland. Every now and again, red-necked wallabies emerge from the treeline.

There are just 12 rooms, giving the lodge a very intimate feel. You’re encouraged to make the most of its expansive grounds and position within the national park: the lodge is skirted by several private walking and mountain biking tracks, and you can also opt for private hikes with an expert guide, which take you farther afield. It’s equally the kind of property where you can simply relax and take in the fresh mountain air: there’s a pool with loungers, a spa, and all rooms have views of the surrounding countryside. Fine dining at The Peak Restaurant (with the option of tasting menus), and warm yet discreet service help to make Spicers Peak an ideal escape at the end of a busy trip. 

OUR OPINION:

If you鈥檙e looking to spend time in Australia鈥檚 great outdoors and are also wanting to treat yourself to a restful, luxurious stay in a really classy hotel, we think Spicers Peak Lodge fits the bill.

Rooms

There are ten rooms located in the main lodge building, and two private cottages situated a short walk or drive across the pasture. Rooms are in keeping with the rest of the lodge, with recycled Canadian Douglas fir and basalt stone fireplaces featuring in their design. Piles of coffee table books and novels are strewn about liberally. You can choose from loft suites, lodge suites, lodge spa suites (all located in the main building) or a one- or two-bed private lodge (sometimes referred to as 鈥榗ottages鈥�). All rooms are en suite with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and tea and coffee facilities.

Location

The lodge is surrounded by farmland and a nature reserve of dry sclerophyll forest where native birdlife and several species of wallaby thrive. The only public access to the lodge is via a long, sweeping road that takes a good 20 minutes to drive, making it utterly secluded. Brisbane is about a 90-minute drive away, and Lamington National Park roughly a two-and-a-half-hour drive.聽

Food and drink

All stays include breakfast, a two-course lunch, and a gourmet dinner at The Peak Restaurant, located just next to the lodge鈥檚 lounge. For dinner, there鈥檚 the option to try various multi-course tasting menus. If you鈥檙e heading out for the day on a guided hike, guides will bring along a packed lunch (usually wraps, fruit and a cheeseboard) for you.聽

Families

Spicers Peak prefers to be adults-only, but accepts young people aged 16 and over.

Facilities and activities

As well as the pool and spa, the lodge has a library corner with a pool table and board games. Your stay includes several complimentary activities depending on which night(s) you visit, such as gin tasting and or drinks by the lodge鈥檚 firepit. You can also take part in one-hour, complimentary guided walks of the plateau and the lodge鈥檚 patch of subtropical rainforest. A range of other, paid-for guided hikes and sunset 4x4 tours can be arranged.

Accessibility

One of the rooms in the main lodge building is wheelchair-accessible, as is the lodge鈥檚 lounge, restaurant and spa.聽

Environmental and social responsibility

Like all the properties in the Spicers portfolio, Spicers Peak has several great sustainability initiatives. Ingredients are sourced as much as possible from the lodge鈥檚 own kitchen garden, and food waste is fed to a local farm鈥檚 pigs. Drinking water in the room is provided in glass bottles, and the lodge is taking steps to roll out a plastic-free minibar. Solar panels are also fitted on some lodge buildings.
