Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat is the perfect destination to spend a few days on your way up the Queensland coast from Brisbane to Noosa, Rainbow Beach and Fraser Island.

Narrows Escape is just by the entrance to Queensland’s treasured Great Walk, that connects an incredible wonderland of national parks home to more than 300 species of birds, 70 reptiles species and more than 30 frog species. Delight in the nature that surrounds you with short, half day and full day hikes. There are also amazing waterfalls, popular and secluded swimming holes to explore and it is only a 25-minute drive to the Sunshine Coast’s spectacular beaches.

Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat is five-minutes drive from the picturesque artisan village, Montville, set up in the mountains of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. This peaceful little village has breathtaking views out over the Sunshine Coast. Spend the day wandering through galleries, boutiques, markets, cafés, restaurants, wineries or stop for a beer at the micro-brewery. Montville is on the magnificent Blackall Range Tourist drive up in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Rising over 500m above sea level the road weaves through the splendid townships of Maleny, Flaxton, Mapleton, and the country town Kenilworth. There is nothing quite like a day exploring quaint little townships.
