Cedar Guest House Luxurious Mountain Retreat

This three-bedroom guesthouse sits on a hectare of bushland where you'll wake to the calls of native birds and views stretching down the valley toward North Stradbroke Island. The ground-level space occupies part of a two-storey Queenslander, with private entrances opening onto a side pergola where you can cook dinner on the barbecue and eat outdoors. Mountain air and morning light are part of the package here.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area takes in those valley views through the windows. The kitchen is fully equipped and generously sized, while the lounge gives everyone room to spread out after a day exploring the waterfalls and swimming holes nearby. Families are well catered for with a crib, high chair, window guards, outdoor playground and books and toys for various ages. There's also a workspace with ethernet if you need to stay connected.
