This is real hidden gem, we only stayed one night but wished we could have stayed longer. Our deal included a 3 course dinner and full breakfast which made it excellent value and the food was superb! Location is incredible, so quiet and to wake up to the most amazing sunrise over the valley was very special. The staff are... More

This is a great place for any busy person to find peace in such amazing surroundings. Loved my short stay. Pay a little more and get a cottage, the rooms are better. I had a room in the Simmental lodge, this is okay but it favours larger groups and can be a little noisy when all rooms are occupied. Try... More

A beautiful part of Queenslands with a gentle rolling landscape. Spicer's Hidden Vale is situated on a rise overlooking Hidden Vale itself. The view are beautiful both at sunrise and sunset - one memorial morning, the valley was covered with mist (see photos) We have a wonderful, relaxing weekend (or as relaxing as you could hope for with an 11...

Magical location...if you want somewhere to relax and unwind, I can think of few better places. The cottage rooms were wonderful, and the early morning vista from the veranda inspiring. Service levels on reception were impeccable. The restaurant, however, could have been better. The food was OK, but for this quality of establishment and the prices charged - especially when... More

Our party of three did not stay at the at the property, but we went there for lunch. Despite good, attentive service, the meals were quite a let-down : my steak was nothing special, the pepper sauce came in this minescule jug (by the way, where was the pepper?), and the salad served was in such a tiny portion as...

What a wonderful place. It was the most lovely decor, comfortable yet grand old country house. The reception lady was so welcoming. We stayed in a Heritage Suite which was a stand alone cottage. It had a toile theme with a four poster bed. It was spotlessly clean - even the verandah was cobweb free in the middle of the... More

We went for my birthday and had an amazing time. We got an upgrade to the Wagyu cottage which was unexpected and lovely. The rooms were very nice and ours opened onto a large verandah with spectacular views. The main lounge in the cottage was complete with fireplace and a mini library of assorted novels...a nice touch. The dinner at... More

Simple accommodations, good food, attentive staff. We needed to relax so thought twice about booking the sunset 4-wheeling trip. It was just the two of us plus our guide Hayden.
