FROM CAPE YORK to Coolangatta, Queensland's coast is known for its beautiful beaches, pristine wilderness, and its 'Clean and Green' environment. Running through the heart of south-east Queensland is the picturesque "Valley of the Lakes", and nestled into its foothills is Lakeview Olive Estate.   

The Yugarbul Aboriginal tribe who lived here for centuries originally called the area "Coominya" which means "I see water".  The area around Lakeview Olive Estate was first explored by European explorer Alan Cunningham in 1829.  Soon after, the land comprising Lakeview Olive Estate was used for raising prime stud cattle - an industry which remains in the region to this day.

In the latter part of the 20th century, city-folk attempting to escape urban life settled in the area, planting a wide range of tree crops including sub-tropical avocadoes, mangoes, stonefruit, citrus and olive groves.

Lakeview Olive Estate was purchased during this period and work began to transform it into a haven for the specialised production of olive leaf extract.

Today, Lakeview Olive Estate sits like a jewel in the Valley and
every care is taken to keep its pristine setting unmarred.

While we can't control the weather, our computerised weather station records every detail from rainfall to temperature and wind speeds to humidity - every hour of every day, 365 days of the year. It allows our technicians to identify each tree's needs and to ensure that the Olea leaf is harvested at optimal periods.
