Spicers Peak Lodge
Getting there
Rustic Queensland getaway Spicers Peak Lodge is set on a private nature refuge a two-hour drive south-west of Brisbane towards Warwick, just past Cunningham's Gap.
- Planes Fly into Brisbane Airport (www.bne.com.au) in Queensland, about a 140-kilometre drive from the hotel.
- Automobiles Pick up a self-drive hire-car at Brisbane Airport or ask the hotel to arrange a chauffeured sedan for AU$370 one way. If you're coming from Warwick, it's a 45-minute drive to Spicers Peak Lodge, which offers free valet parking. The drive into the property wends through nine kilometres of unsealed road through lush rainforest, so make sure you bag a car that's up to the challenge. You'll be passsing over cattle grates, streams and bumpy trails to reach your destination, so avoid arriving or leaving after dark if possible, and look out for jaywalking wildlife at dusk.
- Others Helicopter transfers from Brisbane Airport cost from AU$2,200 return, or AU$1,550 return from alternative touch-down option Gold Coast Airport (www.goldcoastairport.com.au).
