Murphy's Creek Hideaway
Upper Lockyer
Murphy's Creek Hideaway is a hassle-free place to slow down and return to nature without compromising on luxury. Accommodation here comes in the form of Serengeti safari tents with king size beds, claw foot baths, BBQs and private outdoor campfires.
Each luxury tent has a stunning view over bushland which inspires guests to unwind and watch the native wildlife at play. It is a treat to sleep surrounded by Eucalypt forest and wake to the sounds of birds in the morning.
The 50 acre property shares a boundary with Lockyer National Park (formerly White Mountain State Forest), including several swimming holes along Murphy's Creek. Murphy's Creek itself begins its journey high on the range and continues right through the property. It really is a pleasant spot to relax and appreciate nature.
There are plenty of activities on the property to keep adventurous types busy, such as the 235 metre flying fox, archery, abseiling, mountain biking, and a medium ropes course.
In a nutshell - Murphy's Creek Hideaway is ideal for a romantic couples getaway, and also has a budget friendly campground onsite which is suitable for families, dogs and even horses.
Nice to know: Optional extras are available for purchase, including cheese platters, flowers, wine, chocolates and gourmet breakfast baskets.
Need to know: Murphy's Creek Hideaway is located at the foot of the Great Dividing Range, 20 minutes drive north-east of Toowoomba.
