Sitting right on the edge of Stanthorpe, Mount Marlay is a favourite spot for locals and visitors wanting a quick dose of nature and some of the best views in town. A short drive up the mountain brings you to a peaceful lookout area where you can slow down, take in the scenery and enjoy the wide-open Granite Belt landscape.
At the top, there are picnic tables, shaded spots and binoculars for a closer look across Stanthorpe and beyond. A gentle loop walk winds around the summit through the trees, offering changing views in every direction and a quiet moment away from the bustle below.
Mount Marlay is also a popular place for outdoor enthusiasts, with a network of mountain bike trails catering to everyone from beginners to experienced riders. Whether you’re there for a sunset view, a casual picnic, a ride or a short stroll, Mount Marlay is an easy, rewarding way to enjoy the outdoors without leaving town.
