One hour from Brisbane and Noosa historic Rowan House, built in 1939 by wealthy landowners, is perched high up in the mountains offering breathtaking views of the Sunshine Coast. From first entering this grand old house there is a sense of having stepped back in time and here, time is what you gain. With a late check out of around midday after a leisurely gourmet brunch there's time for conversation, tennis ,a swim or a ramble through the four acres of garden. The three luxurious suites ensure peace and privacy but there are numerous communal areas with fireplaces and views so it's a perfect place to be with that special person or with a group of friends.
