The Valley Estate, Currumbin Valley
Set on nine acres deep in the Currumbin Valley hinterland, ten minutes from Gold Coast Airport, The Valley Estate feels like a slice of Tuscany dropped into the Gold Coast hills - a pine-lined driveway leading to a red-brick manor with arched windows and grand chandeliers, and a glasshouse dressed wall-to-ceiling in hanging greenery. It's the kind of property where the whole day unfolds without anyone leaving the grounds - ceremony, photos among the pines and gardens, reception under glass and chandelier light. Grand European elegance meets hinterland calm - it's polished, it's romantic, and it's unmistakably its own world.
