About us

Set across 12,000 acres of rolling countryside just an hour from Brisbane, Spicers Hidden Vale offers a rare blend of rural seclusion and polished sophistication, creating an exceptional setting for executive retreats, incentive programs and high‑level strategy sessions. The property’s beautifully restored homestead and collection of elegant cottages deliver a warm, heritage‑rich atmosphere, while its expansive grounds provide the space and privacy teams need to think clearly, connect meaningfully and perform at their best. With purpose‑built meeting facilities, refined lounges and private dining spaces, groups can transition seamlessly between focused work and relaxed collaboration. The award‑winning Homage Restaurant elevates every dining moment with paddock-to-plate cuisine crafted from produce grown on‑site or sourced from neighbouring farms. Beyond the meeting room, the vast estate invites teams to engage in unforgettable outdoor experiences, from guided nature walks and wildlife encounters to immersive 4WD adventures, each designed to inspire creativity, wellbeing and genuine team cohesion. Combining country‑estate charm with contemporary luxury, Spicers Hidden Vale delivers a uniquely elevated corporate retreat environment where clarity, collaboration and high‑impact outcomes naturally thrive.
