We commence our road trip on the Sunshine Coast by having a coffee in the opulent surrounds of Daisy's Place , conveniently located on the edge of the M1 at Glenview.

Daisy's Place is nestled in the edge of a rainforest so you can enjoy breakfast or a snack before commencing your road trip.

When you leave, follow Steve Irwin Way to Beerwah and take Route 6 west-bound towards Kilcoy. Veer right onto Route 85 onto D'Aguilar Highway. Kilcoy is a town with much history and continues to thrive as a meat processing town supplying employment to many locals.

If it's time for break. Stop at Chantilly Blue Coffee Lounge , 25 Seib Street for great service and lovely coffee and gifts.

In Gradchester, turn right onto Granchester-Mount Mort Road, signposted to Spicers Hidden Vale . You are nearly there! It may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but your reward awaits not far from here.

A few kilometres up the road and you have reached your destination.

Have lunch, dinner or stay overnight at Spicers Hidden Vale for a true country farm stay experience while enjoying the luxury Spicers are famous for.

I'd recommend you order a picnic and explore the grounds of the property. #spicers_hiddenvale_active_getaway ">Take a horse ride with damper included , or let the kids pat the animals at the farm gate.
