Westhaven 303A Two Bedroom Apartment is a part of the full Westhaven three bedroom apartment within the Sky Lodge complex located next to the Binna Burra Mountain Lodge.

Westhaven is the top floor of the Groom Lodge building of the complex (third building from the top of the hill) comprising the separately keyed and rented:

• 303A Two Bedroom Apartment - with two bathrooms, kitchen, lounge, gas fireplace, laundry facilities, BBQ and NBN satellite access
• 303S One Bedroom Studio - with bathroom, kitchenette, gas fireplace, BBQ and NBN satellite access

If guests require less space than Westhaven 303A Two Bedroom Apartment, they can consider renting the Westhaven 303S One Bedroom Studio as separately listed on Stayz - or, if needing still more space or wanting the privacy of occupying the entire top floor of the Groom Lodge building, consider renting both 303S and 303A together.

Westhaven looks north with panoramic views over the hills of the Beechmont Plateau and Tamborine Plateau towards Brisbane. The tallest Brisbane city buildings can be seen on a clear day, and their lights on a clear night. The view can be spectacular during summer, and sometimes winter, during thunderstorms, watching the lightning strikes on the plateau.

The north east view includes the volcanic rock formations of Egg Rock, Turtle Rock and Ship's Stern. Further to the east can be seen the northern end of the Gold Coast with its high rise accommodation towers.

Westhaven is totally surrounded by the World Heritage listed Lamington National Park. Over 150 km of walking tracks can be directly accessed from Westhaven - with no need to get back in the car once you arrive.

Choose from a number of half day or full day walks in Lamington National Park.

The park vegetation varies from mostly subtropical rain forest containing pockets of ancient Antarctic beech trees, to open eucalyptus forest and heath land. Walk past caves and cliff faces. Go bird watching and look for native fauna, including wallabies and koalas. You may see a Lamington Crayfish in a stream, only found in this area.

Enjoy a spa bath after a walk. Then cook and enjoy a meal on the deck with the BBQ. Or cook and stay warm inside, with the gas fireplace.

Visit the country towns of Canungra, Beechmont or Tamborine Mountain - with their surrounding wineries, restaurants, cafes and gift shops.

Usual travel times are 45 minutes to the Gold Coast and 90 minutes to Brisbane.

Visit the local market - the Beechmont Market on the 3rd Sunday morning of every month, near the roundabout at the start of the Binna Burra Road.

Visit other nearby National Parks, such as Springbrook National Park (including the Natural Bridge section in the Numinbah Valley) and Tamborine National Park.

Or drive into the Tweed Valley, including to see Mt Warning, via the Numinbah Valley road.
