The space
🦅 THE EAGLES NEST — Scenic Rim

A peaceful, family-run hilltop retreat

Perched on a quiet ridgeline at the foothills of the heritage-listed Lamington National Park, The Eagles Nest is a place where life slows down and the beauty of the Scenic Rim takes centre stage. Surrounded by 50 acres of private hinterland, the home offers breathtaking 360° views — from soft fog rising through the valley at dawn to eagles gliding past at eye level, and golden western sunsets that settle gently over the infinity pool.

This is a stay built around calm, connection and the simple joy of being together. Whether you’re sharing long lunches on the deck, exploring the rolling hills on the property, unwinding by the firepit, or drifting between the pool and the bespoke gas fireplace, your days here will feel restorative and memorable.

Other things to note
Helpful Notes for Your Stay

The driveway to Eagles Nest is approximately 600m and steep due to the ridgeline location. It has recently been fully sealed with asphalt for a smooth, safe entry. Medium–large vehicles are ideal, though small cars can also access the property without issue.

Pool heating is turned off each October. For safety and maintenance reasons, guests are not permitted to adjust or activate the system unless expressly approved by the owners.
