Eighteen Mile Cottage - river access with breathtaking views!

Eighteen Mile Cottage is a beautifully appointed early 1920s Queenslander holiday home, full of charm and character.
Nestled beside an invigorating river flowing close to its source, the Lamington National Park.

Located in the stunning Lost World Valley, within Queensland’s Scenic Rim, it’s just a 90-minute drive from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Set on a private, fully fenced property, surrounded by approximately 500 acres of captivating mountains, sprawling pastures, and pretty countryside.

With its romantic and cozy ambiance, the cottage is an ideal retreat for couples, small families, and groups of friends seeking to relax, unwind, and recharge.

Explore the beautiful rock pools—perfect for a refreshing swim, fishing, or a peaceful picnic by the water. For those feeling adventurous, mountain hikes await just beyond your doorstep!

Guests interested in farm animal experiences can visit a nearby property by prior arrangement and booking (fees apply). Bookings must be made directly between guests and the property.

Eighteen Mile Homestead (sleeps 12-15) is also an option on the wider property for guest bookings. Eighteen Mile Homestead - Darlington | Stayz
