About this property

Eighteen Mile Homestead ~ escape from hustle & bustle!

The Homestead is a spacious and family-friendly holiday retreat, just 90 minutes from Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Nestled in the delightful Lost World part of Scenic Rim QLD, it offers the perfect getaway for relaxation and nature immersion.

Privately positioned in the heart of a 500-acre property, the homestead is surrounded by captivating mountains and a meandering, invigorating river— all waiting to be explored by guests.

Eighteen Mile Cottage (sleeps 4) is also an option on the wider property for guest bookings: Eighteen Mile Cottage - river access with breathtaking views! - Darlington | Stayz

For more than 50 years, the property owners ran a dairy farm before transitioning to beef cattle farming and fodder cropping, which still continues in the surrounding paddocks today. Occasionally, guests have the opportunity to observe farm activities during their stay.

The homestead is conveniently located approximately 5 km from an entrance to Lamington National Park, offering fantastic opportunities for picnicking, rock-hopping, swimming, and exploring the natural beauty of the region.
Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a kitchen, and a washing machine.
