Glasshouse Plantation in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland offers a rare paddock-to-cup experience for discerning coffee lovers, showcasing 100% Australian-grown Arabica beans in the heart of the Glass House Mountains.

This working farm invites guests to explore the full journey of coffee through immersive tastings, guided tours, and a seasonal café menu crafted from locally sourced produce. Visitors can sample distinctive varietals like K7, known for its sweet, fruity notes and chocolatey finish, grown in nutrient-rich soils and ripened slowly under the region’s subtropical climate.

What sets Glasshouse Plantation apart is its commitment to provenance, sustainability, and education. With over five generations of farming heritage, the property was regenerated in 2015 by its current custodians, who planted 5,000 coffee trees and restored the original 1910 farmhouse into a welcoming café, roastery door and farm shop. The Plantation’s low food miles and emphasis on soil health reflect a deep respect for nature and quality.

Nestled among national parks and framed by panoramic mountain views, the location offers easy access to hiking trails, scenic lookouts, and wildlife encounters. Open Friday to Sunday, the farm is accessible for day trips and offers ample parking. Whether drawn by the story behind each bean or the serene beauty of the landscape, Glasshouse Plantation invites coffee connoisseurs to discover a uniquely Australian flavour worth exploring.
