We stayed at the lake view site for two nights and it was fantastic. Short walk down to the lake and spent the whole day in the lake. It was amazing sunrise by the lake too. The host/ care take was very helpful and friendly. Make sure you get all your supplies from the Boonah town ( about 20-25 minutes drive) before you get there.

I had a lovely three days at Pointro after a stressful Christmas period. The host was very kind and friendly, and the views are stunning. It is very close to the water, making it perfect for people with their own boats to have fun. However, for the same reason, it might not be ideal for those seeking complete quiet, as you can easily hear the sound of nearby boat motors. The closest town for supplies is Boonah, about a 37-minute drive. There are plenty of cafes and shops.

The sites are a good size with plenty of space for a caravan and tent camping without being crowded. They are also well maintained with good grass underfoot. The creek is great to cool off or have a fish in. You must be self contained though with toilet and shower facilities. Overalls great place for a break with a pleasant backdrops.

We love staying at Olive View Estate Scenic Rim. The wide open spaces, rolling hills and mountain views are spectacular.
Waking up to the sounds of birds and insects as the sun rises from behind the mountains of the Gold Coast Hinterland is so beautiful.
The sun setting over the Main Range mountains of the Scenic Rim lights up the sky with the most beautiful golden hues.
When the stars come out, the constellations are clearly visible due to the lack of light polution.
Olive View Estate is our favourite glamping destination. We always head home feeling refreshed and revitalised.

We loved spending our first weekend in our new caravan at Olive View. Beautiful views, nice grassy areas to set up camp. Lindsay and Kate communicated well and checked in on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. It was lovely to see the kangaroos resting in the shade of the olive trees. The little shop in the old bus was very cute. We will definitely return someday.
