Your day starts at The Ginger Factory with a ginger scone and coffee or tea, where you can explore attractions such as the factory tour, live bee show, ginger train, or Overboard boat ride. Nearby you’ll find a nut shop and coffee roaster to visit.

Next, enjoy a scenic country drive to Eumundi, taking time to explore the historic town and its artisan markets open Wednesdays and Saturdays. The tour continues through the Eumundi Range to Cooroy for lunch in a boutique café sourcing local ingredients. After lunch, explore Cooroy’s arts centre, historical walks, or playground, depending on your interest.

Following lunch, take an optional 1.5km guided walk in Noosa Botanic Gardens beside Lake McDonald. The walk is mainly flat with gentle inclines, but guests may choose to relax in the gardens instead.
