Hinterland hideaway

Hazelwood Estate, the luxury country retreat set in Queensland’s Scenic Rim, is rebranding as Beechmont Estate and becoming part of Northern Escape Collection, a curated portfolio of boutique lodges and experiences owned by Morris Group.

Morris Group Executive Chairman Chris Morris said the name change celebrates the estate’s location near the town of Beechmont in the stunning Gold Coast hinterland in line with the collection’s other properties: Orpheus Island Lodge, Daintree Ecolodge and Mt Mulligan Lodge.

Beechmont Estate is located just outside of 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.

The estate sleeps 48 guests in five-star luxury accommodation, including a private residence, offering a range of leisure activities including serene day spa packages, bushwalking, and gourmet dining experiences at the chef-hatted The Paddock restaurant.
