Award Winning Stays
Wallea Eaglehawk
The best way to truly get an appreciation for Nambour is to stay a little while and become fully immersed in the town and its surrounds. Take day trips to idyllic Woombye and Palmwoods, or venture deeper into the forest and spend time in Eudlo. Drive through scenic Rosemount and Diddillibah and enjoy an afternoon of water sports in Bli Bli.
The saying ‘escape to the country’ does come to mind when thinking about true Nambour immersion.
In order to truly escape and immerse, though, a longer visit is needed. Nestled amongst the rolling hills, dotted throughout the rainforests, on winding roads and throughout farmlands are the most enchanting places to stay in the Nambour region.
Warm summer’s nights by the pool, the sound of birds in the trees and rain on the roof, foggy sunrises and magic golden hours.
The greater Nambour area provides the ideal escape from everyday life. Whether it be for one night, one week, or one month, there’s a bed and breakfast – or perhaps even a farm stay – ready to welcome weary travellers and energise them in a myriad of ways.
Spread out along Petrie Creek is the historic Bli Bli House that is described as “a magnificent experience of five star Victorian Elegance combined with the tranquillity of a luxury riverside retreat”.
Bli Bli House is a restored 160-year-old Queenslander that now operates as an 1800s-inspired boutique hotel. Visitors from around the world have enjoyed the modern amenities and five star service, which has earnt Bli Bli House honours such as Tripadvisor’s top three romantic hotels in the world and gold at the Australia Tourism Awards.
Bli Bli House is conveniently located ten minutes from Nambour along the scenic Petrie Creek Road that winds through Rosemount. This destination is for those who are looking for luxury, old world charm, and, of course, romance.
When it comes to farm stays, there is no place quite like Sixty6.
Set on – you guessed it – 66 acres in what is described as a “hidden vale”, Sixty6 provides family friendly accommodation in a contemporary and luxurious setting.
There are an array of permanent residents to visit at the farm, miniature belted galloway steers named Bruce, Barney, Hank and Humphrey; miniature English donkeys named Duke and Daisy; and miniature babydoll southdown sheep named John Lennon, Ringo and Shaun the Sheep, just to name a few.
Guests are encouraged to spend time at the lake where there is a jumping platform, as well as kayaks for those who feel adventurous. Located just outside of Woombye, there is no shortage of things to do on the property or in the township.
This destination is ideal for those wanting the farm experience in bespoke, modern quarters, and especially those with children.
Surrounded by nature and far from the hustle, there are so many perfect places to unwind, reconnect, and feel truly restored. Whether you’re curling up with a book or simply soaking in the stillness, these are some options for a sanctuary for rest and renewal.
