Address:

182 Glasshouse-Woodford Road , Glass House Mountains , QLD 4518 , Australia

Description:

Experience the mystical beauty of the Glasshouse Mountains at Glass on Glasshouse. If you need to get away to somewhere beautiful – and spoil yourself by staying in a cottage that you won't want to leave – this is the place. The secluded cottages are set in a 20 acre mango orchard fringed by graceful tall trees, and surrounded by farms and forestry plantations. Wild Kangaroos travel through the property and you can bask in the fantastic views of the Glasshouse Mountains. Our beautiful and modern architect-designed self-contained cottages feature floor-to-ceiling glass with wonderful Mountain views. The bedroom features a comfortable King-size bed (or two singles if requested) and the centrepiece of the bathroom is a gorgeous freestanding spa bath. For those romantic winter nights there’s a beautiful two-sided eco-smart fire, which can be experienced from the bathroom as well as the lounge. If you feel like cooking there’s a kitchenette with microwave, fridge, Smeg hot plates and a dishwasher and then there’s a BBQ on the large deck where you can sit and watch the kangaroos, or listen to the sounds of the Kookaburras and Black Cockatoos. For entertainment the cottages also offer Internet access and have a Blu-Ray DVD player, high definition LCD TV and a HiFi system with an iPod dock. For your comfort there’s reverse cycle air-conditioning/heating. Washing and drying facilities are also available. Marvel at the myriad of wildlife sounds at night, count the millions of stars, relax on the large deck, take an indulgent spa, listen to the rustling of the leaves in the trees and become closer to nature. An ideal place to escape for those who just need to relax. A daily breakfast basket is included. We also have an onsite café which is open 6 days (not Tuesday) and has a tasty menu of home-baked lunches and cakes as well as locally grown coffee, and is an open setting with great views of the mango orchard where the kangaroos usually sleep. These contemporary cottages are mainly for couples, though there is a sofa bed in the lounge for a third person if needed ($70/night extra). We can accommodate infants in cots, but the property isn’t suitable for young children (1-8 years old). Unfortunately, because there’s a lot of local wildlife pets aren’t allowed. Please note that the cottages are non-smoking inside.

If coming from the direction of Brisbane: Stay on the M1 (Bruce Hwy) until you see a sign for the scenic route to Glasshouse Mountains and Beerwah (Scenic Route 24, Steve Irwin Way), and take this turnoff. After about 4km turn left into Beerburrum, go through the village, and then take the first road on the right (Beerburrum-Woodford Road). It's also signposted for the scenic lookout. Keep on this road for about 4km until you come to a fork in the road and take the right hand fork (this is Old Gympie Road, also signposted for the scenic lookout). Keep on this road for about 2km. Then take the first road on the left, which is Glasshouse-Woodford Road (also signposted for the scenic lookout). We're about 2km up this road, our entrance is immediately after the Lookout Cafe. If coming from the North: From the M1 (Bruce Hwy), after the turnoff for Caloundra take the turnoff for the scenic route to Glasshouse Mountains, Landsborough and Beerwah (Scenic Route 24, "Steve Irwin Way").
