Beechmont Estate

Beechmont Estate is a luxury country retreat just outside the small township of Beechmont, near Binna Burra in the Scenic Rim.

Just 90 minutes from Brisbane and 45 minutes from the Gold Coast, the 75-acre property neighbours the World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park.

Beechmont township

Beechmont Estate is located in Beechmont, a quaint country village featuring an old-style community hall and country markets, between the Lamington Plateau and Tamborine Mountain.

The district takes its name from the white beech trees, once prolific in the area, which first settlers used for timber. The Beechmont district was first occupied by the Yugambeh people before the arrival of these timber cutters in the 1880s.

Today, the pretty town is a popular destination for bushwalkers who travel through on their way to the Binna Burra section of Lamington National Park. It’s also popular for Rosin’s Lookout on top of the ridgeline which offers views over the Numbinbar Valley across to Springbook and Mount Warning. The lookout offers barbeque and picnic facilities and is a launch site for hangliders and paragliders.

Climate

Located on Lamington National Park’s Beechmont plateau approximately 600m above sea level, Beechmont Estate experiences its own microclimate and some of Australia’s most fertile deep red volcanic soil.

The Estate is around six to eight degrees cooler than the Gold Coast with our surroundings adorned with a vibrant tapestry of lush greenery. This idyllic setting invites cozy evenings by the fireplace and unveils a stunningly verdant landscape under the embrace of our sunlit blue skies.

Nature at Beechmont Estate

In spring and summer, migrant visitors include Spectacled, Black-faced and White-eared Monarchs, a variety of species of Cuckoos and many more. You may also spy koalas in the Eucalyptus trees along the property’s boundary with the national park.

The Beechmont plateau was largely cleared by loggers in the late 1800s to make way for the dairy industry that flourished on the mountain in the early 1900s. We have since reintroduced a range of native flora and fauna around the estate through the planting of thousands of native plants. As the plantings grow, they will have a range of environmental benefits, from improving water and soil quality to encouraging native wildlife to flourish.

Nature at Beechmont Estate

During your stay, you may encounter wallabies passing on their way to and from the neighbouring Lamington National Park and a variety of birds around the watercourses. The neighbouring national park is internationally recognised as one of the world’s best sites for bird life, with more than 150 bird species recorded, including the Noisy Pitta, Albert’s Lyrebird, Regent Bowerbird, Pale Yellow Robin, Rose Robin, Rufous Scrub-bird, Paradise Riflebird, Wompoo and Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove and Topknot Pigeons. We ask all guests to respect native wildlife by giving them space, avoid approaching or never feed wildlife. We have a range of natural water and food sources around the Estate for the animals.
