Let’s face it, we could all use some relaxation – and we’ve found the place to do it. TANK BATHHOUSE is the newest destination on the Coast to unwind. This boutique spa is all about letting go in a beautiful setting – it’s in a Hamptons-style building surrounded by lush farmland (you’ll feel more relaxed just driving up to this place). After your treatment, unwind on the deck, take in the view and enjoy brunch or afternoon tea before heading home, completely relaxed. There are various packages on offer but if you’re going to do it we say take the plunge and treat yourself to the four-hour treatment with lunch and use of the sauna and steam room. Go on your own, head out with your partner or make a day of it with a couple of friends and enjoy! Tank Bathhouse and Day Spa is on Bli Bli Road, Bli Bli. 1300 640 722 or tankspa.com.au Map reference M16

Want an outdoor workout that will get your heart pumping? Buderim’s LARA DRIVE STEPS are where you need to be. While the area is surrounded by trees, most people don’t come here for the scenery – it’s all about those 148 stairs that will have you sweating in no time. The good thing about these stairs is you can do just one or two sets or as many as a dozen (if you’re into the double figures, we commend you!) depending on your fitness level. Many people use the steps to increase their fitness – say starting with three or four sets and then adding an extra set with each attempt. The fitter locals will warm up with a set or two, before jogging up and down the steps several times and finishing with a warm-down set. To find the steps, head towards Ballinger Road, then turn into Lara Drive and follow that road until the end, where you’ll find space to park your car. Map reference M18 14

Want to get up close to our beautiful GLASS HOUSE MOUNTAINS without actually climbing them? Autumn is the perfect time to take a drive out to our Glass House towns such as Beerwah, where you can glimpse the mountains from various angles. Of course, Glass House Mountains National Park has plenty of walks if you feel like getting out of the car. But for a lovely Sunday drive you can head out that way before getting some lunch in Beerwah and then heading up the range where you can take in the mountains from Maleny.
