THE EAGLES NEST SCENIC RIM - “The ultimate Hinterland Guest House”
Nestled on the foothills of the world-renown and heritage listed Lamington National Park, QLD, is “The Eagles Nest”, a 50-acre luxurious hinterland guest house, situated on a ridgeline, with 360 degrees of the Scenic Rim.
Our names are Kelly & Jules, we own and lived at “The Eagles Nest” for close 3.5 years, with our 3 beautiful boys, and our beloved fur babies.
In July 2023, we decided to part ways, and now live in another spectacular location in the Scenic Rim, QLD - We are still lucky enough to call “The Eagles Nest” our home away from home.
We spent our time there marvelling over the vistas, the breathtaking sunrises & sunsets, and gazing at the crystal-clear, country night skies. Some mornings we would wake in a blanket of fog, and slowly watch it ascent from the valley below, whilst other days you’d be delighted with the Eagles soaring at eye level, without a noise or neighbour in sight. The memories we made as a family at “The Eagles Nest” are truly unforgettable, and something we are SO excited to share.
During our time, we renovated, built the infinity pool & turned the house into something justly special, with so much to offer.
Whether you’re immersing yourself in the breathtaking western sunset by the infinity pool, relaxing by the bespoke gas fireplace, hiking the rolling hills of the property, spending quality time around the campfire or spending your days exploring the Scenic Rim, this will be a stay you’ll never forget.
