Spicers Hidden Vale

Spicers Hidden Vale - A luxury retreat with restored 1800s Queenslander cottages, a hatted restaurant, and nature activities

Set on 5 hectares of former cattle station land, Spicers Hidden Vale features beautifully restored Queenslander-style cottages dating back to the 1800s, some named after Australian cattle breeds. The accommodations include timber cabins with outdoor baths, two-story loft suites with king beds, and valley-view rooms with private verandahs. Homage Restaurant, a hatted dining venue relocated to a rustic barn, serves paddock-to-plate meals crafted by award-winning chefs using produce from the on-site market garden. Activities include mountain biking, four-wheel-drive tours of the property, and access to Hidden Vale Adventure Park, located 1 km away. The Homestead offers communal spaces with valley views, chess, and lounging areas. Spicers Hidden Vale provides a signing table, chairs, and easels for ceremonies, alongside inclusive options for weddings and events.
