Springbrook Lyrebird Retreat is the perfect escape from the stresses of daily life. Left totally to yourselves you are immersed in peace and tranquility deep within World Heritage rainforest.

You will be delighted by the richness of plants and bird life, butterflies, colourful fungi, as well as the pademelons, bandicoots, possums and the many small marsupials that share this forest with you.

Even better, by staying here you will be supporting rainforest protection and regeneration on the Springbrook Plateau. The Retreat is owned and run by the Australian Rainforest Conservation Society, a non-government, non-profit association dedicated to rainforest conservation. All proceeds from your stay, after costs, go to on-ground rainforest restoration work at Springbrook.

In the evening, you can relax in front of a cosy fireplace (electric to prevent pollution), enjoy the luxury of a double spa bath, eat, doze, read — whatever takes your fancy — and absorb the special and unique sounds of rainforest nightlife.

Springbrook Plateau, remarkably only 40 minutes from the Gold Coast and 90 minutes from Brisbane, is like a window into another world, a living museum full of surprises.

Relish the privilege of experiencing one of the most unique and iconic places on Earth — our Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. Steep yourselves in its grandeur and antiquity. Soak in the splendour of its grand waterfalls, canyon vistas and fascinating walking tracks through cathedral forests. You will never tire of new things to see on the many walking tracks through Springbrook National Park. But, remember, tread softly on this fragile Jewel of Nature.

Springbrook Lyrebird Retreat is professionally managed by Ashley Robinson and Anastasia Theodore who have decades of experience in the hospitality industry.

A perfect retreat...
