PARK’S HIDDEN GEM

POLLY’S Country Kitchen is one of the Gold Coast’s best kept secrets. Private and secluded, this hidden gem within Springbrook National Park features sweeping lawns, a surrounding rainforest and cascading stream.

Perfect for events, Polly’s Country Kitchen also offers homemade meals for breakfast and lunch Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just be aware that their Devonshire teas are so good that there is a cheeky kookaburra dubbed Horace who is known as the resident scone-napper.

This quirky Kitchen is at 1024 Gold Coast Springbrook Road.
