Gold Coast Hinterland Region Only 30 mins drive out of the hustle and bustle of the turbulent Gold Coast, you can immerse yourself in the deep pool of serenity and peace of the Gold Coast Hinterland Region. In a place where sub-tropical rainforests drip with a lush green canopy, this region is truly one of Queensland's best kept secrets. National Parks and quaint communities, local wineries and relaxed lifestyle, the hinterland enjoys a slower pace than the city and is the perfect location to relax and de-stress. Take a bushwalk to the lookout in Springbrook or fossick for a "thunder egg" at Thunderbird Park. Whether it is a quite stroll or a three day hike on the Gold Coast Hinterland's Great Walk, you will be captivated by the natural beauty of this area. View the forest from the canopy on the elevated skywalks through the rainforest canopy at Joalah, Mount Tamborine or the World Heritage Listed Lamington National Park. Visit O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat and hand feed the native birds. Get a "bird's eye view" on O'Reilly's Plateau where you can walk through the canopy of tree orchids and ferns, maybe spotting a koala in the branches. Another high rise thrill can be found at The Adventure Park at Cedar Creek. And there are many local cafes in the small villages and communities dotted around this region. Browse the artisan galleries, market stalls and antique shops. Indulge in some of the fine fare at the farm and village stalls on your boutique winery or brewery tour - all the while enjoying that beautiful scenery.And whilst you relax and "get back to nature", be sure to stay at one of our fine Bed and Breakfast Accommodations in the Gold Coast Hinterland Region - just waiting to help you unwind.
