The Gold Coast Hinterland Walk connects the Lamington and Springbrook Plateaus together via the Numinbah Valley. You’ll generally progress in a west to east direction with some circuit walks ensuring you experience the best of this ancient and spectacular landscape.
Starting and finishing on plateaus means there are some reasonably steep descents and gradual climbs. The highest point of the walk is a little under 1200m above sea level.
You can expect to walk on a variety of distinct, well-marked, well-maintained tracks. Some rough track surfaces have exposed roots, steep grades, sets of steps and creek crossings and require extra care. However, walking under the sun-dappled shade of the canopy is always delightful.
You’ll be walking an average of about 15km each day, compared to the longer 25km day along the iconic Border Track. Mostly, you’ll walk in and out from your accommodation, meaning more time to enjoy the walk’s landscapes and scenery each day. We move your luggage ahead to your next accommodation at each stage, so all you need to carry is what you need for the day.
Please Note: For larger group bookings, on your nights in the Sky Lodges at Binna Burra, not all the bedrooms will have views overlooking the Coomera & Numinbah Valleys. The Sky Lodges we allocate will have two or three bedrooms (each with their own ensuite bathroom) and large communal living areas which open up to a spacious decking area for you to enjoy the views. With this in mind, the rooms with a view will be allocated to the bookings that are received first.

Thank you again Stroll!
Greg and myself thoroughly enjoyed our time trekking in the Gold Coast Hinterland. On Thursday 31st July, walking from Binna Burra to O’Reillys was a memorable achievement for both of us. But whatever the day rewarding views and varied forest and bush environments were continuous, around every curve in the track.
Thank you for organising the cake and song for my birthday. A little embarrassing but a nice touch!
In appreciation as always

An opportunity to walk in World Heritage listed rainforest featuring ancient trees, spectacular waterfalls and rare birds. Accommodation at Binna Burra and Mouse’s House was a standout.
