Country Style has highlighted the best accommodation in the Scenic Rim, Queensland.

Located in the heart of South East Queensland, the Scenic Rim is a treasure trove for travellers in search for something a little more rural in a state famed for its beaches. Set against some of Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes, its lush rainforests, rolling hills, and six national parks make the Scenic Rim the perfect playground for those who love an immersion with nature. The Scenic Rim also has a proud focus on sustainability, and in early 2025 was granted the ECO Destination Certification with Ecotourism Australia, demonstrating its firm commitment to sustainable tourism.
