Howells Knob Lookout, Gazebo & Picnic Table Seating, Reesville QLD

The road that leads up to the lookout is a picturesque drive, where you get to see native trees, mountains, farmland, rolling hills, and the iconic Glass House Mountains. It’s the ideal destination for some peace, as it’s hardly ever filled with people. There is a gazebo and picnic table provided, though there are no rubbish bins and toilets. Thankfully, the nearby lawns are well-kept, so one can easily spread out a picnic blanket to enjoy the views at sunrise or sunset.

Howells Knob Lookout is close to the Maleny Botanic Gardens, a popular attraction in the area. This privately-owned garden encompasses almost 18 acres of lush greens, manicured lawns, and flora and fauna that make an incredible experience. It’s home to beautiful native and international bird species; this park will be sure to thrill any nature lover.

Take a self-drive tour of the gardens on an electric golf cart, and meet the lively birds all around the park. Kids will love the fairy garden and treehouse too! There are a gift shop and café on-site, too; they’re complete with all the amenities you need for an unforgettable day trip.

For some excitement and adventure, check out the Obi Obi Gorge nearby. It features a 3-mile walk and a river where you can take a refreshing dip in. The walk is suitable for all skill levels, and it’s a gorgeous place for a light walk, hike, or even a run.

Howells Knob Lookout and the surrounding areas are a terrific place for anyone who wants to spend time in nature.
