Lemon Myrtle Shortbread w/ fresh cream, toasted Macadamia, Sea Salt & Wattleseed πŸͺπŸƒ . .
We love to give our guests a little treat for the road as they depart our Bushtucker Cruise with the homemade Lemon Myrtle Shortbread 😍

There’s a secret tree out in Rosemount where we handpick our Lemon Myrtle leaves & flowers. It’s the lemoniest, myrtliest thing you’ve ever tasted!
We dry this in the Sunshine for two weeks then grind by hand in a mortar & pestle.

This beautiful ingredient is added into a traditional shortbread recipe and baked in a hot oven. We serve these little bites of magic on cold, Maleny Dairy fresh cream, finished with a light dusting of roasted Wattleseed and Sea Salt flakes.

These will be available in soon - keep an eye out!

Are you new here? Let us tell you about our vessel and why she is so significant β›΅

'Spray of the Coral Coast' is a 117-year old, classic 58ft gaff-rigged Huon-pine ketch with a fascinating history βš“

This beautifully restored traditional sailing vessel was originally built to the same plan as the original β€œSpray”, the boat used by Joshua Slocum who became the first person to solo circumnavigate the globe. Our Spray is now thought to be the oldest Spray replica operating in Australia and possibly the world 🌏

The most significant reason as to why she is still in the immaculate condition she is, (aside from having a passionate Captain looking after her daily), is that she is built out of the most sought-after boat building materials in the world!
The Huon Pine 🌳

The Huon Pine is one of the slowest growing trees in the world and has a natural oil that preserves the wood for thousands of years, preventing any worms or borers, disperses moister and prevents the rotting process from starting. This beautiful tree is only found in Tasmania and thankfully now a protected species.

Step back in time and book a Saltwater Cruise to witness her beauty for yourself πŸ‘‡

How's this for a 5 ⭐ review...

"Thoroughly deserves the five star rating. Great live music. Fascinating history of the boat itself. Felt like we were aboard a legend. The staff were legends too. We are locals. This tour is for everyone - locals and tourists alike. Such a chill experience. So relaxed and so beautiful. Thoroughly, really thoroughly recommend this one. Top tourist attraction and experience for all. Loved it."
