Fodor's Expert Review Spicers Peak Lodge

Wilkinsons Rd., Maryvale, Queensland, 4370, Australia

This luxurious, all-inclusive mountain retreat offers a range of lavishly appointed suites, most with stone fireplaces, and all with views and complimentary minibars. Warm, muted colors echo the stone, timber, tin, and glass of the architect-designed lodge. Nightly five-course degustation dinners and cordon bleu breakfasts are a highlight. The focus here is on relaxation, helped along by blazing log fires, extensive lounge areas, a library with a billiard table, a telescope for stargazing, wildlife tours, and an open bar. For extra indulgence, there's also the luxury Spa Anise; which has massage rooms, a plunge pool, and beauty treatments; or take advantage of private helicopter transfers to the lodge.
