Approximately 130kms west of Brisbane, Toowoomba sits on the rim of The Great Dividing Range. Here you can find outstanding accommodation, attractions, shopping galore and fabulous dining options to suit all tastes and budgets.
Toowoomba is a great city to shop ‘til you drop, dine late and discover the best things in life. It is a treasure-trove of tradition and culture. Crowning the edge of the Great Dividing Range 800 metres above sea level, Toowoomba is renowned for its architecture and open spaces that overlook the Lockyer Valley.
Lying around 130 km inland of Brisbane on the Great Dividing Range means the city has four distinct seasons which is reflected in the ever-changing colours in the many parks and gardens, and Toowoomba is also Australia's largest inland city after Canberra. The climate is mild and pleasant with much less of the oppressive humidity that Brisbane and Sydney can suffer in the summer months, and tends to enjoy dry winters, with more rain in summer.
The city has easy access to Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, yet has a more relaxed pace that allows one to truly enjoy the attractions of urban life, but with a charm that only a regional city can offer.
The visitor can spend hours looking around the Antique Shops, there are 13 of them, constituting the largest Regional Antique Centre in Australia. Before you leave, take a drive up to Picnic Point, where you will find beautifully maintained parklands, a cafe and restaurant on site and the views over the City and the Lockyer Valley are unforgettable.
Toowoomba really is Queensland’s Garden City, with more than 150 public parks and gardens. In spring the gardens are an extravaganza of colour, and the city celebrates with its Carnival of Flowers, held each year in the last full week of September.
With so many amazing accommodation properties to choose from the three that stand out above the rest are the luxury rooms at the Peppers Hidden Vale Resort, as well as the luxury 5 star Peppers Spicer’s Peak Lodge at Maryvale and the Toowoomba Motel that is so perfectly located for you to enjoy all that Toowoomba has to offer its visitors.
If you are looking for a city with all the attractions of coastal capital cities, but with a vibe all of its own, then Toowoomba on The Great Dividing Range is waiting for you. You will have the perfect accommodation to call home for your holiday that will just add to an already excellent holiday.
