Turkey's Nest - Macadamia Rainforest Suite

The Macadamia Suite is located on our beautiful 15 acre property Turkey's Nest, a registered wildlife refuge surrounded by pristine rainforest. Mount Glorious is just 40km from Brisbane CBD. It is a special place to relax, unwind and enjoy the tranquillity of nature, close to the city, yet a world away!

Escape from the bustle of city life, with cosy fire and serene forest views. We take pride in the homely atmosphere, tasteful decor, attention to detail, and the personal touches of flowers, candles and chocolates.

The space

The Macadamia Rainforest Suite is a private, self-contained suite, designed to provide the ultimate in privacy and relaxation. It occupies a separate wing of our house, and has a private entry from, and access to, the verandah which overlooks the rainforest. A wide variety of native birds come down to feed on the verandah, making this a great spot for photography enthusiasts.

The Suite features beautiful rose gum timber panelling sourced from the property, romantic canopy bed, a relaxing claw foot bath, a bay window and dining nook looking out to the forest, cosy fireplace, kitchen, and lounge. All linen is provided, including electric blanket and doona. The suite opens to the verandah, with outdoor seating and a barbeque.

The well-equipped kitchenette has a two-burner electric cook-top, microwave, electric frypan, fridge and espresso coffee machine.

We take pride in the homely atmosphere, tasteful decor, attention to detail, and the personal touches of flowers, candles, chocolates and port.

Turkey’s Nest is close to cafes and National Park walks.

Guest access and local area

Guests are welcome to explore our extensive rainforest property, including our 750m rainforest track. Turkey's Nest is close to the local cafés and restaurant, and is less than a kilometre from the Maiala section of D'Aguilar National Park, which has a picnic area and a variety of bush walking tracks.

Mount Glorious is surrounded by D'Aguilar National Park. There are beautiful walking tracks through both rainforest and gum forest. At 620m above sea level, it is cooler than Brisbane in summer, and can get quite cold and misty in winter - a good time to sit in front of the fire with a glass of wine and a good book! A beautiful sculpture garden, in a rainforest setting, is open on Sundays. Day trips in the Brisbane Hinterland take you to Fernvale, Esk, Wivenhoe Dam, Dayboro and Mount Mee.

Mount Glorious village has a cafe and a restaurant for daytime dining. The local restaurant and cafes do not open at night. The nearest evening dining is at Samford, which has a variety of restaurants.

There are no food stores at Mount Glorious. The nearest supermarket and shops are at Samford (20 mins).
