Spicers Hidden Vale

Spicers Hidden Vale is a gem - an escape just an hour’s drive from Brisbane combining the style and comfort of a luxury retreat with the warmth of country welcomes.

Here you'll discover a genuine regional adventure that combines a breath of fresh air with luxury, ‘garden to plate’ dining and a generous range of nature-based activities with something to suit every guest.

2022 saw the launch of the Activities Shed, a new addition to Spicers Hidden Vale offering bespoke guest experiences, led by an extremely knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour who goes by the name of 'Croc'.

Join Croc for a half-day 4WD tour of the stunning property and its surrounds, taking you up to the mountain ridges where you'll enjoy sweeping views, with the option of stopping and enjoying an exclusive gourmet picnic.

For those who like their adventure action-packed with the chance to explore the surrounds, there are guided mountain bike tours, heli-flights, and Mountain Bike Shuffles VHAP High 5. Or take advantage of the bike and e-bike hire and go exploring yourself.

For something a bit more low key, there's guided nature walks, a market garden tour where you can see what chef uses on the menus, or you can try your hand at gold panning or gem fossicking.

For animal lovers, there's a bounty of fauna out there, which you can spot on a scenic nature refuge drive, a koala safari or take a tour of the Wildlife Centre. And at sunrise and sunset there are curious kangaroos which come out to graze in the paddocks around the cottages and cabins.

And that's not all! You can also play a game of tennis, swim in the infinity pool or, for something fun and different, try your hand at archery and frisbee golf.

And, at the end of the day, you can relax with an artisan cheese and wine tasting, enjoy a campfire and do some star-gazing at the incredible night sky out in this part of the country.
