There’s something about the quiet hum of the countryside that makes indulgence feel a little sweeter. Maybe it’s the slower pace, the way time stretches just a little longer, letting you savour each moment. Just a scenic 45minute drive from Bellbry Lodge, nestled among the rolling landscapes of Mareeba, you’ll find Emerald Creek Ice Creamery - a haven of handcrafted decadence, where every scoop tells a story of quality, passion, and the simple joy of truly good ice cream.
The Taste of Tradition
Emerald Creek Ice Creamery is where premium ingredients meet old-fashioned craftsmanship, resulting in a range of rich, creamy delights and refreshing sorbets, each one made with care. Every spoonful is a reflection of the region’s best produce - ripe mangoes bursting with tropical sweetness, macadamias adding a delicate crunch, and deep, velvety chocolate that lingers on the tongue.
You’ll find familiar favourites, like classic vanilla bean, but it’s the unexpected flavours - perhaps a silky Davidson Plum sorbet or a luscious coconut-infused blend - that will truly transport your taste buds. Each flavour is designed to be lingered over, to melt slowly, so you can appreciate the balance, the texture, the artistry.
A Place to Pause
But it’s not just about what’s in the cone or cup. The setting of Emerald Creek Ice Creamery invites you to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the country experience. With a charming café and shaded outdoor seating, it’s the perfect place to pause for a moment of sweet escape.
Pair your treat with a freshly brewed coffee, or indulge in one of their handcrafted desserts. Let the world slow just a little, as the gentle warmth of the sun meets the coolness of your chosen scoop.
A Delicious Day Out from Bellbry Lodge
If you’re staying at Bellbry Lodge, a trip to Emerald Creek Ice Creamery is a pleasure best enjoyed slowly. The drive itself is a delight, winding through picturesque countryside, past golden fields and lush rainforest pockets. Make a day of it, exploring the Atherton Tablelands, perhaps stopping at local markets or waterfalls along the way, before treating yourself to something sweet.
📍 Emerald Creek Ice Creamery - take the drive, take your time, take a taste - you won’t regret it.
