Just outside Proserpine, Whitsunday Gold Coffee Plantation offers more than just a great brew—it’s a true country experience. As one of Australia’s largest coffee producers, the plantation takes you behind the scenes of the bean-to-cup process, from growing and harvesting to roasting on site. Wander through the scenic grounds and you’ll likely spot friendly farm animals like goats, alpacas, and chickens, as well as a variety of native birds that call the plantation home. After exploring, relax in the rustic café with a freshly brewed coffee and enjoy views of the cane fields, coffee trees, and surrounding bushland. It’s a unique stop that combines local flavour, wildlife, and warm hospitality.
