Testimonials

For those who are not yet convinced that the Hidden Peaks Guided Walks is the best way to enjoy this pristine natural environment, see what other walkers have had to say about the experience they had when they took up the opportunity to cross through some of Spicers' private property and were accompanied by experienced local guides, welcomed by a well-appointed campsite, nourished by gourmet food and rewarded with a luxury stay at Spicers Peak Lodge.

"thoroughly enjoyed the walk and luxury thereafter...you have a very special place up there, and are rightly proud of the nature reserve and sustainable environment."

"The highlights were the company of the group, the country side and the accommodation. In the common area to relax and the food presented to guests - very pleasing to the eye and the palate."

"The company in total made a power of difference and we thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie around the dinner table and open fire after an energetic day’s walk. AND especially no TV!"

"From the moment you met us in Brisbane to the time you left us at the airport we felt nothing but pampered and in very safe hands.
There was nothing over the weekend that we could have improved on from the scale and pace of walking in your beautiful countryside to the delicious food and wine, the sensational and oh so luxurious accommodation at both the Canopy Campsite and Spicers Peak Lodge, not to mention the champagne surprise at the top of the climb.
Your attention to detail was amazing and all who work with you friendly and professional.
As I wrote in your Visitors Book, this is our seventh walk as a group and our only quandary now is how on earth we could better Spicers Hidden Peaks Walk."

"I have many great memories of our Hidden Peaks walk. I just loved wandering through the bush, it was so beautiful. I have told many of my friends about it and how spoilt we were."

“Unfortunately, we're back home and back in the grind! How I miss those "home cooked" meals, the beautiful scenery and marvelous walks we had with you and Graham.
Thank you very much for your hospitality - I think I can vouch for us all that we really had a relaxing time even though it was exercised fueled.
Will happily tell our friends and family to take the challenge and visit you in Queensland.”

"The walk was brilliant and we all enjoyed it immensely, the food, the company, the accommodation... all first class! I will be recommending it to anyone I can."

"Just dropping you a line to thank you both so much for the wonderful time we experienced on the Hidden Peaks Walk. Peta and I had a fantastic time...we could not possibly have imagined how memorable it would be, with such spectacular scenery, wonderful food, luxurious accommodation and great company. For us, the weekend was a perfect combination of physical challenge, adventure and pampering! Your attention to detail and assistance throughout the hike was greatly appreciated. Who would believe our 2 walking guides would also be whipping up such a storm in the kitchen, complete with Gluten-Free chocolate birthday cake and bread for the next day? I wish you all the best for the future success of Hidden Peaks Walks (while privately hoping it remains a secret treasure!) We would love to come back and experience it all again some time!"

"Thank you for the excellent holiday we experienced. The scenery was superb and the walking pace was leisurely and pleasant. Our Guides were informative, patient and friendly and the duration of each days walking was sufficient enough to be challenging, but not overly so. In our opinion the 2 nights and 1 day spent at the campsite were a great means of allowing walking without having to be weighed down with packs. We believe this walk is excellent value for money. Having previously stayed at both Hidden Vale and Spicers Peak we had high expectations. This holiday well and truly exceeded those expectations, providing great food and wine, some exercise and comfortable accommodation. All this was followed by gourmet food, wine and accommodation at Spicers Peak Lodge, all at a reasonable cost."

"As I sit in a boardroom on the 28th floor, I am longing for that fresh air and wide open spaces of the last 3 days. What a beautiful time we had. Thank you for your hospitality, generosity and wonderful organisation."

"I have no doubt than anyone who joins you for the total experience will come away feeling it was one of the best things they could do. As for me, I was so pleased I made the effort and managed the walk without difficulty that first day but the best feeling I had was when driving home I felt like I had had a total mental clean out."

"I had a wonderful few days away. The walk was challenging but manageable. They was some magical scenery along the way and we were rewarded at the end of the day with a raging log fire, fabulous food and fantastic accommodation. The guides were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable time. Great trip!"
