The Hitching Rail Retreat is a boutique family-run escape in the heart of the Atherton Tablelands, owned and operated by mother-daughter duo Janet and Brooke. Our passion lies in crafting unique, memorable stays that immerse our guests in the beauty of nature and the charm of country life.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We embrace eco-friendly practices, from minimizing waste and conserving water to sourcing materials and products with sustainability in mind. Our retreat is thoughtfully designed to work in harmony with the land, allowing guests to connect with nature while leaving a gentle footprint.

We also take pride in supporting the vibrant local community that makes the Atherton Tablelands so special. From locally roasted coffee and handmade soaps to fresh produce and artisanal crafts, we partner with small businesses to bring you the very best of the region. Every stay at Hitching Rail Retreat is infused with the flavors, craftsmanship, and spirit of the Tablelands.

Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a little bit of both, we invite you to experience the magic of our retreat—where nature, history, and heartfelt hospitality come together to create something truly special.
