Palmwoods is a small semi-rural community, 10 minutes to the mountains and 20 minutes to the coast. If eating well is your passion, there are many wonderful restaurants and cafes within easy reach such as the Home Grown Cafe and the popular Rick's Garage, repurposed as an American 50's diner, with big burgers and a whiskey bar upstairs. On a Thursday night and weekend lunch you'll often see a surprising array of classic cars and bikes. 

The Blackall Range, just west of us runs from Maleny through to Mapleton and has some magnificent scenery, waterfalls, galleries and restaurants. To the east is the ocean, boasting some of the best beaches in Queensland. Coolum and Mooloolabah are lovely patrolled beaches. It’s great to spend a day, but ah, so nice to escape the summer crowds, and retreat to Palmwoods Eco Escape for a peaceful night's sleep. 

Should you wish to simply prop here to relax, the local bird life is extensive and native animals pass through regularly.

Within close range by car is Kondallilla Falls, The Big Pineapple, Buddhist retreat Chenrezig Institute, Mary Cairncross Reserve, Glasshouse Mountains, Yandina Ginger Factory, Noosa National Park, Underwater World, Eumundi Markets, Wildlife HQ, The Australia Zoo, Ettamogah Pub and numerous other enjoyable attractions including a meal or coffee at The Edge restaurant, Montville with views to the ocean on a clear day. 

We trust you will enjoy your stay :)
