Overview

Spicers Hidden Vale – Luxury Country Retreat in Queensland’s Scenic Rim

Set on a stunning 12,000-acre working cattle station in Grandchester, just an hour’s drive from Brisbane, Spicers Hidden Vale offers the perfect blend of country charm, modern luxury, and genuine Australian hospitality. Surrounded by the rolling hills and lush valleys of the Scenic Rim, this award-winning retreat is a sanctuary for those seeking a peaceful escape with world-class facilities, gourmet dining, and immersive outdoor experiences.

Charming Heritage Accommodation

Spicers Hidden Vale’s accommodation is designed to reflect the property’s rich heritage while offering the comforts of contemporary luxury. Guests can choose from restored Queenslander-style cottages, private suites, and spacious luxury rooms, many with verandas overlooking the countryside. Each space is individually styled, blending period architecture with plush furnishings, quality linens, and modern amenities. The result is a warm, inviting atmosphere where guests can relax and feel at home.

Gourmet Dining at Homage Restaurant

A highlight of any stay is the award-winning Homage Restaurant, renowned for its paddock-to-plate philosophy. Led by an innovative culinary team, Homage showcases fresh produce grown on-site in the market garden or sourced from nearby farmers. Dishes are cooked over open flames, in wood-fired ovens, and smoked in custom smokers, delivering a truly authentic Australian dining experience. Seasonal menus are carefully crafted to celebrate local flavours, with options for degustation dining paired with premium wines from the extensive cellar.

Outdoor Adventures and Activities

For guests who love the outdoors, Spicers Hidden Vale offers a wealth of activities. The property features more than 110 kilometres of world-class mountain biking and hiking trails, catering to all skill levels. Guests can enjoy guided nature walks, wildlife spotting, and scenic picnic experiences. For a more leisurely pace, take in the vast country views from the infinity-edge swimming pool or relax with a drink at the bar.

Adventure seekers can explore the property by 4WD tours, join in on cattle station activities, or try horse riding with local operators. The lodge also partners with conservation programs, offering guests a chance to learn about the native wildlife and sustainability initiatives in the Scenic Rim region.

Wellness and Relaxation

While Spicers Hidden Vale is known for its active adventures, it’s equally a place for rest and rejuvenation. Guests can indulge in in-room spa treatments, unwind on wide verandas, or curl up by the fireplace in the main homestead. The infinity pool offers breathtaking views of the countryside, perfect for a refreshing swim on warm Queensland days.

Weddings, Events, and Corporate Retreats
