in rural relaxation  and rustic charm. 

The Homestead is located between the village of Amamoor and the township of Kandanga 23 km south of Gympie.

by the gentle breezes, azure blue skies and birdsong.

Your Birding Experience (On & Off Site) –  

"Amamoor Homestead B&B" offers visitors a variety of Birdwatching experiences!

Leisurely "Bird" through the well tended gardens, or for a more strenuous early morning activity, climb the hill behind the 
 Homestead for a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside, while "Birding" along a well forested gully serving as a corridor  
linking lower remnants.

This gully merges to an extensive remnant adjoining the Homestead property; a walk along the fenceline will offer more opportunities 
for additions to the overall  list.

 "Step out" for an early morning or late afternoon walk to "Bird" along the roadside verge bordering this remnant, while enjoying the view and 
Birdlife along the roadside opposite!
