Located within Beechmont Estate, a luxury country retreat just outside the small township of Beechmont in Queensland, The Paddock restaurant is a 45-minute drive from The Gold Coast or 90 minutes from Brisbane. The 30-hectare property neighbours the World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park.
Escape for a stay at Beechmont Estate and taste the region’s finest ingredients, sip a drink on the sunset terrace, enjoy a scenic bush walk or retreat in luxury.
The cosy, farm-inspired cabins were designed for those wanting a luxurious farm-stay experience. Each cabin features large glass sliding doors and a private deck to make the most of panoramic hinterland views. Sit on your deck and let time go by or snooze in your king-size bed, before taking a short stroll to the onsite chef-hatted restaurant, The Paddock, for an unforgettable meal.
The Paddock features casual fine dining using sustainable produce from the surrounding Scenic Rim region in a luxe farmhouse setting. The restaurant delivers unpretentious, wholesome fare that celebrates the quality of local produce.
Foraged from the forest and sourced from the region’s best farmers and producers, you will enjoy a memorable dining experience that will leave you inspired and full. Dishes are created with a focus on hyper-local and sustainable produce, using it from root to stem and nose to tail.
Renowned UK-born chef, Simon Furley, shares his authentic paddock-to-plate philosophy. His main goal is to serve contrasting, contemporary food with a sense of place, and his menu is ever-changing as the seasons come and go and his ideas ebb and flow.
