Why Locals Love South Maclean

There’s a lot to love about South Maclean – from natural assets to multi-million-dollar infrastructure – but it’s the people that make a place truly unique. 

From the florist to the barista, this community has people at its heart and a ‘small town’ vibe that means you’ll get to know many by name and be constantly flashed a friendly smile. 

Here we explore some of the local businesses that South Maclean residents love. 

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker 

Every good town needs a good butcher and the Flagstone and Jimboomba Butchery doesn’t disappoint. If top-notch meat wasn’t enough, they also offer fresh seafood and ‘smoking packs’, with a monthly draw to win a $100 prize. 

Trips to the bakery become treasured childhood memories – the smell of fresh-baked bread, the taste of your favourite pie and the bright colours of the take-home treat squirreled away for later. Flagstone Bakehouse offers all this plus great coffee, making it the ideal stop during your weekly shop. 

And yes, we even have our own candlestick maker! Rosie hand-pours her own candles, which are available in various shapes, sizes and smells. You can find them at the Kuraby Farmers Market, Beenleigh Markets, the Friendly Grocer at Crestmead, IGA Meadowbrook and IGA Loganlea. 

Blossoming blooms 

Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh flowers or the feeling of receiving a bunch of blooms? Samara of Raising Flowers says flowers are ‘wrapped-up emotions’ and ‘the purest form of art and creativity’.  

So, whether you’re sending someone a hug, a congratulations or organising an event, Samara can help you create something truly special. 

Coffee please! 

If you prefer your caffeine from premium beans, you’ll be a regular at Boomba Beans.  

Whether you’re grabbing your morning brew, treating yourself to one of their signature frappes or indulging in a hot chocolate, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to toppings and flavours. 

There’s also plenty of goodies - from almond croissants to gluten-free caramel slice, and the option to buy bags of beans if you want the taste of quality coffee at home. 

The most important meal of the day 

If you understand the importance of breakfast but always run out of time to have it, fear not as Cornerstone Cafe serves it ‘til 2pm! 

With daily specials like loaded croissants and pulled pork rolls and a menu with all the favourites including multiple iterations of eggs benedict, you’re never short of choice. 

Lunch lovers are covered too with pesto rolls and steak sandwiches some of the most popular on the list. 

‘The local’ 

Every Aussie town has ‘a local’ - a place that pours cold beers and serves chicken schnittys; where the community meets for family birthdays, footy break-ups and Friday knock-offs. 

The Jimboomba Country Tavern is a south Brisbane icon. With a laid-back atmosphere, plenty of charm, live music, sports, pool and poker competitions, kids’ playground and a courtesy bus it’s everything a local should be and more. 

Whether you’re stopping in for a snack, a bevvy or a banquet you can be sure the drinks are cold, the food is hot and service is friendly. 

Family fun at the nursery 

Children of the 90s will remember the days when a trip to the nursery was a fun family day out.  

Well, the good news is, some of those places still exist and there’s one on your doorstep! 

The Garden Nursery is an adventure for people of all ages. Explore acres of magical pathways, trickling water features, towering trees and fabulous flowers, feed the birds, pat the family dogs, and if there’s still time, find your next fruit tree to cultivate. 

Proudly family owned and operated since 1989, a visit to The Garden Nursery will become a much-loved tradition for South Maclean residents. 

Retail therapy 

In need of organic skincare? Looking for a stylish wedding outfit? Desperate to find the perfect gift? You’ll discover all this and more at Folk and Co. 

Nestled in the old colonial building in Jimboomba’s Cusack Lane, Folk and Co. offers a wide range of pieces from soft denim and floaty florals, to sun hats and skincare. 

Expect a truly beautiful shopping experience that touches all the senses. Prepare to leave with armfuls of things you needed...and some you didn’t. 

If you’d like to immerse yourself in country hospitality and bask in that special feeling that comes with supporting local family business, you might want to consider a move to South Maclean.
