Stay, Explore & Unwind

The best way to experience the Lockyer Valley is to slow down and stay a little longer.

Experience a two-night stay at Valhalla Glamping, a luxury retreat nestled on a picturesque 2,000-acre working cattle property and commercial flower farm. Spend your days exploring the countryside before returning to your beautifully appointed safari tent, complete with a king bed, private ensuite and sweeping rural views. Your stay also includes a guided farm tour, giving you the chance to experience life on the land and meet the people behind the produce.

While you're exploring the region, make a trip to Porters Plainland Hotel, offering comfortable accommodation and a welcoming country pub. 

Whether you're relaxing under the stars, enjoying country hospitality or discovering life on the land, the Lockyer Valley is made for slowing down and reconnecting.

Taste the Lockyer Valley

The Lockyer Valley has earned its reputation as Australia's Salad Bowl, producing some of the country's freshest fruit and vegetables. But beyond the farms, you'll discover welcoming cafés, country pubs and passionate producers who proudly showcase the flavours of the region.

Start your foodie journey at Tins & Trays, where breakfast, brunch and lunch are served inside a beautifully restored Queenslander using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From house-made pastries to seasonal dishes inspired by the valley's growers, it's the perfect place to begin your Harvest to Table adventure.

For something a little different, discover the unique flavours of Australia at Native Oz Bushfoods, where native ingredients take centre stage and offer a true taste of the bush. Then round out the day with a visit to Murphys Creek Tavern, a much-loved country pub serving generous meals, friendly hospitality and the kind of atmosphere that keeps locals and visitors coming back.

Every stop tells another part of the Lockyer Valley story... from the paddocks where it's grown to the plates where it's shared.

Some of the best moments in the Lockyer Valley happen when you take the scenic route.

Browse handmade gifts, local art and creative workshops at Potato Studio Laidley, enjoy a classic country meal and warm hospitality at The Lockyer Hotel in Forest Hill, or soak up the peaceful surrounds of Rocky Creek Homestead, where rolling countryside and rural charm invite you to pause and unwind.

As you travel between towns, you'll discover welcoming communities, beautiful farmland and authentic country experiences around every corner. It's these unexpected stops and local stories that transform a simple weekend away into a holiday you'll remember long after you've returned home.

Along with these incredible Lockyer Valley getaways and prizes, you'll also go in the draw to win experiences from across Queensland Country and the major prize - a breathtaking sapphire pendant valued at $3,500 from Rubyvale Gem Gallery!
