Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this eco-minded boutique hotel, a full account of their Australian glamping getaway will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a postcard from Spicers Canopy in Scenic Rim…

If you ever get nostalgic for the camping trips of your childhood, then a stint at Spicers Canopy in Queensland's serene Scenic Rim could be just the ticket. A collection of 10 luxury tents located in a private nature reserve, this eco-aware retreat is all about achieving a natural high.

Enjoy guided walks through the 8,000-acre grounds, take a cooling dip in the swimming hole, dine on gourmet fare with an Australian flavour, and star-gaze with a glass of red in hand.

If you can't be without life's luxuries for more than a day (it's an internet blackspot and hair dryer-free zone), then couple a stay here with a night or two at neighbouring Spicers Peak Lodge, where you can be plugged in and pampered to your heart's content.
