Spicers Peak Lodge

It’s not unusual to see helicopters hovering above the lawns around Spicers Peak Lodge. In the mountains above the Scenic Rim, with gabled roofs that echo the triangle tips of the peaks, often the finest way to arrive at this hotel is by air. It’s also the perfect way to embark on a Granite Belt wine tour, journey up Mount Mistake or a picnic at a cloud-skimming 1100m above sea level. Back on earth, Spicers Peak Lodge has all the elements of a boutique stay: a deep connection to its location, attention to little luxuries, and service that really does revolve around you.

Also around you are 8,000 acres of heart-capturing landscapes, as Spicers Peak Lodge places you at the cusp of a World Heritage Listed National Park. This setting is the thread woven through every part of your stay here. It’s in the dining experiences, as The Peak restaurant presents creative cuisine celebrating the bounty of Australian seas and shores. It’s in the rooms and lodges, where bushland, plateau and distant horizons unfold beyond the windows. And it’s in the infinity-edge pool and spa, for wellness to the mountain-tops. 

What feels like the ends of the earth is the beginning of unforgettable experiences. Each brings you closer to the hotel’s landscapes, heritage and culture. Such as trying fire-warmed billy tea brewed in the settler style and sweetened with estate-harvested honey. Gathering for campfire canapés – half oyster shells anyone? – at sunset. Bushcraft workshops, cellarmaster wine tasting or tours of the hotel’s curated art and sculpture collection. Spicers Peak Lodge makes all-inclusive feel exclusive, with a programme of memory-making activities that are on the house. Further afield, there are mountains to hike, creeks to follow – and more helicopters to ride.
