Location

The Bunyip is the perfect romantic getaway or place just to chill and relax. Located on 100 acres of bushland on the side of Mt French, The Bunyip Scenic Rim Resort is only 5km from Boonah and one hour’s drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Nestled on a natural geological shelf, The Bunyip’s modernist architecture contrasts with, yet blends into, the bush landscape. The elevated position takes best advantage of the stunning views out to the Great Dividing Range and around to Flinder’s Peak.


The resort and your accommodation is very private and secluded and surrounded by pockets of flat land, remnant rainforest and temperate forest higher up. The stunning views, available from every room, are a tapestry of mountains, bushland and farming land all of which change with the seasons, the weather and the even time of day.
