(Please click image for larger view)

Travelling north from Brisbane along the Bruce Highway, the sight of the mystical Glasshouse Mountains heralds the approach to the Sunshine Coast hinterland, one of the most beautiful and accessible holiday regions in Queensland.

And here you will find the luxurious and private pavilions of Taman Sari. A tranquil and romantic sanctuary, tucked into the forest hillside overlooking the ancient volcanic Blackall Ranges.

Concealed in a tropical Asian inspired garden, filled with gingers, heliconias, palms and exotic bamboo, the two pavilions are separately accessed from the central courtyard via timber walkways, with entrances framed by ancient timber doors.

Designed by Tone Wheeler of Environa Studios, Sydney, each freestanding pavilion offers stylish, contemporary architecture and elegant spacious interiors, with panoramic views across the valley.

True luxury in harmony with nature.

As the sun sets, you can relax on your deck, enjoy a glass of wine, and reflect on the beauty and serenity of the range.

After dark the garden is transformed into an enchanting world of magical lights. Bali lanterns entice you to take an evening stroll through the garden.

For the walking enthusiast, the property is situated on the Great Walks trail. It traverses some of the range's most scenic natural areas, including the Flaxton to Obi Obi Road section of the trail. The track follows a spur that runs down to Baxter Creek, where a beautiful waterfall cascades into rock pools. A unique suspension bridge crosses the creek and continues up the ridge through subtropical rainforest to Obi Obi Road, coming out about 50 metres from Taman Sari Private Pavilions. This section takes about 2½ hours and guests can be dropped off at the start of the walk on Flaxton Mill Road.

The temperatures on the range are refreshingly cooler than surrounding areas. In winter the mountain is often shrouded in mist, followed by cold nights; perfect weather for relaxing by the fire.
