Mt Cotton Retreat

Mt Cotton Retreat is a beautiful bush retreat, ideal for couples and families, found half an hour's drive from Brisbane's CBD on the side of Mt Cotton. 

Located on a private 20 hectare nature refuge, Boom-Ber-Pee, this award-winning retreat offers tranquility and relaxation with boutique bed and breakfast accommodation in tastefully decorated rooms and suites, as well as secluded, self-contained, luxury eco cabins. 

Most rooms and suites in the main house feature a private balcony or deck and complimentary port and chocolates; while the private pavilions feature screened decks, spacious open-plan design, full kitchen, modern bathroom, and stunning views.   

Five beautifully appointed cabins are set over a steep embankment surrounded by treetops, two are nestled in the bush beside a lake with water lilies, and one 2-bedroom family-friendly cottage is located near the bed and breakfast. Two of the cabins are pet friendly with dog bedding and bowls provided for well-behaved four-legged guests. 

Guests are welcome to enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast surrounded by nature every Saturday and Sunday from 8am for $30 per person which includes a selection of cereals, yoghurts, seasonal fruit salad, scrambled eggs, lean bacon, chipolata sausages, sauteed mushrooms and more served with fresh juice, plunger coffee and loose leaf tea. 

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or family vacation, Mt Cotton Retreat is the perfect tree escape.
