We got an early flight to Brisbane, where we were met by Mike an expat from California, for the drive to Spicers Peak Lodge. The drive was 2 and a half hours through beautiful countryside. We turned off the main road to a country lane, some paved and some not. It was a 20 minute drive from here up to the lodge. We passed many pastures with cows foraging in the green grass. The lodge, as the name would imply, is at the top of the mountains with fabulous views.
We were greeted by Machala who informed us of the amenities available, of which Cathy already made an appointment for a massage tomorrow. We were then driven the half mile down to our accommodation, a separate “house”, bedroom, dining area, kitchenette and sitting area. With a hot tub and a view of the valley below.
We took advantage of the privacy and the hot tub for a quick dunk. Then ready for dinner. We had intended to walk up to the lodge, but after the sunset it was dark and not having any reference, we decided to call for a car to pick us up.
