Manuka Honey Australia – Premium Australian-Sourced MGO Manuka Honey

Sunhighlands is a proudly Australian-owned, family-run business based in Sydney, delivering premium Manuka Honey sourced from some of the most pristine natural environments in Australia. Our mission is simple: to provide customers locally and internationally with pure, great-tasting, naturally bioactive honey harvested from Australian forests. Our Manuka Honey comes directly from the coastal regions of North East NSW, where Australian Leptospermum plants grow naturally in clean, untouched environments. Every jar of Sunhighlands honey is cold-extracted to protect its flavour, enzymes, nutrients and beneficial natural compounds. This page features our complete range of Manuka Honey — from everyday MGO strengths to ultra-high-potency bioactive options — all independently tested and produced using ethical beekeeping practices.

What Makes Sunhighlands Manuka Honey Unique

100% Australian Owned and Operated

As a family-run business located in Sydney, Sunhighlands is committed to supporting local beekeepers, regional NSW communities and Australia’s honey industry. Every part of our process — from harvesting and testing to packaging and distribution — reflects our commitment to genuine Australian quality.

Pure, Unprocessed and Cold Extracted

Our honey is never overheated or aggressively filtered. We use low-temperature extraction to protect:

  • Beneficial live enzymes
  • Natural antioxidants
  • Nutrient density
  • Complex honey flavour and aroma
  • Natural elements such as pollen, propolis and beeswax

Keeping honey close to its natural state enhances both its taste and its wellness properties.

Independent Laboratory Testing for MGO Accuracy

MGO (Methylglyoxal) is the key bioactive compound that gives Manuka Honey its renowned antimicrobial and healing properties. Sunhighlands independently tests every batch to verify MGO levels, ensuring customers receive genuine, accurately rated Manuka Honey with transparent lab results.

No Sugar Feeding or Synthetic Additives

Our beekeepers do not feed bees artificial sugars, antibiotics or veterinary chemicals. All honey is produced naturally, ensuring clean, safe and high-quality products.
