About this property

Turkey's Nest - Macadamia Rainforest Suite

Built as a separate wing to the main house, the Macadamia Rainforest Suite is totally private, with separate entry, relaxing verandah with barbeque, romantic canopy queen bed, kitchen, fire place, and luxury bathroom with claw foot bath. The Macadamia Rainforest Suite has views to the forest from the dining room, verandah and bathroom .

Awake to a magnificent view through towering trees to the rainforest below. Relax on the verandah where native birds come to feed, or warm yourself by a roaring fire with a glass of wine, a good book, and our complimentary port and chocolates.

Nestled in 15 acres of tranquil rainforest just 35km north-west of Brisbane, Turkey's Nest Rainforest Retreat is a perfect escape from the bustle of city life, close to the city, yet a world away!

You will feel the cares of everyday life slip away as you settle into your private, cosy guest suite.

Turkey's Nest is a wildlife refuge, registered under the Land for Wildlife scheme, and as such we cannot allow pets. Take a rainforest walk, stop at a local cafe, then back to your suite for a massage, reading a book, sipping wine, a romantic candlelit meal, port and chocolates - how much more relaxing can it get?

While Brisbane swelters in summer heat, Mount Glorious (620m above sea level and surrounded by D'Aguilar National Park) is pleasantly cool (be sure to bring a jumper, as temperatures average 6 degrees less than Brisbane at all times). On chilly winter nights, as mists waft through the forest, relax by a cosy fireplace, where you'll find a CD player and range of CDs, ipod docking station, a selection of books and games, complimentary port and home-made chocolates, before retiring to a bed warmed by an electric blanket.

A short stroll to the tranquil village of Mt. Glorious offers bush walking in the rainforest of D'Aguilar National Park, three cafes, a quality restaurant with stunning views over the valley below, and a unique sculpture garden.

Turkey's Nest is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the tranquility in the company of someone special.

We provide all the comforts for a romantic stay, including electric blankets for those chilly winter nights, port and chocolates, fresh flowers, music, cosy fire place and a selection of books and games.

To extend your stay, we may be able to provide early check-in or late check-out (subject to other bookings).

The Macadamia Suite is a popular honeymoon venue for the many couples who get married at Mount Glorious.
