Spicers Canopy - Scenic Rim

We are located just a few minutes drive from our famous sister property - Spicers Peak Lodge - from which we gain inspiration for our customer service and cuisine. Catering to adventurers who are accustomed to life’s luxuries, we present a unique luxury safari experience. With 10 sumptuously appointed free standing Luxury Safari Style Tents, personal space and privacy is assured whilst you can enjoy being immersed in South East Queensland’s stunning landscape. Each Luxury Tent offers a king-size bed (twin share can be requested) with wonderful pillows and fine linens. Other little luxuries include high quality fluffy towels, highly polished floorboards, armchairs, and bedside tables with lamps. The large communal and dining area is beautifully appointed with a stone fireplace and polished floors. At its centre is a large custom-made table; the scene of many intimate gourmet meals. The private bathrooms behind the communal and dining area are fastidiously cleaned and their steaming, solar-heated water is a welcome treat after a day’s bushwalking. Apart from the nearby natural wonders, the heart of this exclusive experience lies in Spicers Canopy’s large communal lounge and dining area. This spacious, luxurious safari-style facility boasts open planning and is beautifully appointed with a stone fireplace, highly polished wooden floors and deeply comfortable lounge chairs. As is common at other luxurious Spicers properties, a large table forms a special centrepiece in this shared space, around which guests can replay the days activities, groups can enjoy intimate meals or corporate meetings can be conducted. Spicers Canopy’s stunning mountain views are even more magnificent at sunrise and sunset and you will be surprised how often the canvas colours change while you sit awhile, relax and enjoy a glass of wine.
