High Corner

Sunshine Coast


Appropriately, an account of this gracious house's 200-year history is the first thing you see you see upon entering. Rooms are split between the main building, with its antique furniture and elegant, high-ceilinged lounge and breakfast room, and modern self-catering cottages at the back. It's within easy walking distance from numerous restaurants and bars.
