Bestbrook Mountain Resort

There’s plenty to do out and about pottering around the farm and enjoying the peace of the outback. Take a walk around the Labyrinth, swim in the saltwater pool or go rock-hopping in the creek. If you’re feeling more adventurous, hike or mountain bike up to the lookout (a steep route) and take in the sunset. Thanks to its remote setting, this is a great spot for stargazing at night, so back at camp, build yourself a campfire and cuddle up to watch the Milky Way glittering in clear skies above. If you’d like to explore further afield, Main Range National Park (10 minutes’ drive) is a bushwalker and birdwatcher’s paradise, with the chance to see rare butterflies and frogs and hike through rainforest. The Goomburra region of the park (40 minutes) has spectacular views of flat-topped extinct volcanoes, and Queen Mary Falls (10 minutes) has a panoramic circular walk through a lush jungle-clad gorge.
