“The first thing I noticed when I started at Spicers Peak Lodge was the weather, not just the enchanting clouds that roll across the mountains or the endless blue sky days, but the climate is so different. With the average temperature at the lodge being 8-10 degrees cooler than Brisbane, our seasons provide us with a chilly winter (often in the negative temperatures), but best of all a temperate and wonderfully pleasant summer,” she said.

The onsite restaurant, The Peak Restaurant, awarded One Chef Hat in the 2018 Good Food Guide, offers a range of culinary experiences from roving canapes, to shared banquets, to a 5 course tasting menu with paired wines match by in house Sommiler, Nivard Nelson.
