Macadamias Australia Visitor Experience

4625 Goodwood Road, Alloway, Queensland 4670

Macadamias Australia’s Visitor Experience is the newest hit on Bundaberg’s tourism map, providing an immersive experience on the Steinhardt family’s multi-generational farm.

Offering genuine ‘tree to table’ appreciation, visitors are taken on a self-guided journey through recycled wooden totems and interactive displays to learn about sustainable farming and their state-of-the-art carbon-negative processing facility.

Visitors will salivate over the latest attraction; a chocolate viewing room, where the luxuriously creamy macadamia nuts are transformed into even more indulgent forms.

The curated Visitor Centre staff will entice even the most discerning taste buds with a complimentary tasting session of the premium macadamia nut range, before taking in the fresh air and relaxing atmosphere of the café.

The Orchard Table serves only the best seasonal and local produce, freshly prepared in the on-site kitchen with a macadamia twist and surrounded by a picturesque orchard setting. Children will love cracking nuts and playing on the manicured lawns after their gourmet gelato, while adults sip a barista-made coffee or something bubbly beneath the birdsong.

Finish your trip by browsing the Farmgate Shop, showcasing the full selection of single-origin macadamia flavours, hampers and locally sourced produce and giftware items.

Guided orchard tours, group tastings and special events are also available.
