Turkey’s Nest Rainforest Cottage, Mount Glorious
Nestled in 15 acres of tranquil rainforest just 35 kilometres north-west of Brisbane, Turkey’s Nest Rainforest Cottage is a perfect retreat from the bustle of city life, close to the city, yet a world away. You will feel yourself relax as you drive through Brisbane Forest Park to the tranquil village of Mount Glorious.
Awake to the sound of whip birds and a magnificent view through majestic hoop pines and rose gums to the rainforest below. Mount Glorious is a bird-watcher’s paradise with over 80 varieties of birds seen on the mountain. Relax on the verandah as you watch crimson rosellas and rainbow lorikeets (which feed on the verandah), red-browed finches, kookaburras, bowerbirds, cat birds and, of course, brush turkeys. You may even catch a glimpse of a dingo or a bandicoot.
To make the most of your rainforest experience, why not pack a picnic lunch and spend a quiet afternoon in the seclusion of this private rainforest. Take a walk past groves of palms and lichen-covered rocks, to the magnificent towering fig tree.
Turkey’s Nest is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the tranquillity in the company of someone special. Situated in the D’Aguilar Range 620 metres above sea level, Mt Glorious offers welcome relief from the summer heat (nights can get quite cool even in summer – be sure to pack a jumper). In winter, as mists waft through the rainforest, warm yourself by the fireplace, with a glass of wine and a good book.
