Welcome to ecoRidge Hideaway Chalets

Stay in style in the Australian Bush and leave behind a light carbon footprint

Choose from three self-contained and well-equipped chalets built to be eco-friendly and run to encourage sustainable practices,  all of them still providing a comfortable place to rest and relax.

In rural setting yet so close to amenities

 ecoRidge Hideaway is located only a 15 minute drive from the Garden City of Toowoomba and 90 minutes West of Brisbane. The chalets are surrounded by natural bushland and all the wildlife that inhabits it. To get some exercise and explore the property further, a 3km Nature trail is maintained open.

Enjoy spectacular views

Perched on a ridge of the Great Dividing Range at 620m in altitude, all three chalets are set to take the mountain and valley views in. 

And a front seat to amazing sunrises

With a North-Eastern aspect, let the sun greet you every morning from your balcony, in a beautifully sky lit show.

The add-ons

Wood for slow-combustion fireplace

In house relaxation and therapeutic massages

Morning Yoga-Somatics classes at the Reception Studio

December 2025,


Dear Visitors,


Welcome to ecoRidge Hideaway page!


- Welcome Summer! This is when long days and warm weather combine beautifully together, inviting us to spend time in the outdoors, to let go and relax  . It is one of my favourite times of the year, loving getting up with the early morning birds choruses,  being greeted by the sun as it rises and brings light in to another day and feeling uplifted by all the energy coming out of the bush as it awakens.


- For those who are seeking to connect with their creative muse, check Toowoomba Mc Gregor Summer Art Workshops. Workshops are run at different times of the year. Bookings is essential.


- Check our rates on three nights or longer for best deals. We have a minimum of 2 nights on bookings, however we cater for one nighters occasionally through the week - when you contact us.


- To add to your comfort and entertainment and to respond to your business needs, each chalet is equipped with a reverse cycle air conditioning system, a Smart TV and connected to unlimited Wifi high speed Internet.


- Bookings are now open online to April 2026. If you want to secure your getaway for the Easter weekend at the beginning of that month,  we still have vacancies in Applegum and Ironbark chalets. For any queries later in the year, feel free to contact us.


- We are here to assist you if you need help with your booking. Don't hesitate to give us a call or send us an email!


We hope to see you soon.


Kindly, 

Greg and Sylvie
