49km from Caloundra · 1 site · Lodging · Mount Archer, QLD

Once a vineyard and winery, this property is now a private airfield and contains one little cubby house for guests to relax, unwind and soak up nature. This 150-acre property encompasses the northern face of Mount Archer and flatlands to the north. It hosts an abundance of native wildlife along with beautiful creeks and waterfalls after rain. You can fly or drive into the Cubby House. It is tucked away at the foot of the hills with views of the valley to the north with no man-made structures in sight. It is on the cabin on the property and the main residence is a few minute drive away. You feel like you're in your own world. If the smell of the freshly cut runway grass gets you excited, give the team from sticknrudder.com a call to check out this beautiful area from above. They'll taxi a plane right up to your front door and if you wish they'll let you take control under the guidance of one of their instructors!

What an amazing place to stay. The house's were very nice. We stayed 2 nites and it was just so relaxing. The creek behind was great to take our chairs to and sit in. Wasn't much water as not much rain but was still beautiful. We definitely will be back

We loved our stay, we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves. A really great spot and the caretaker (nick) was beyond helpful and so knowledgeable. We even caught some yellow belly perch in the dam. Facilities were great. We will definitely be back. Absolutely loved this hip camp.

Weekend Trip to Shanlyn Farm • Breathe & Reconnect

We loved staying at Shanlyn farm for a quiet and peaceful off grid hideaway. This was our second stay but the first at “Little Soho” which was a well appointed and comfortable vintage caravan with a deck, a view and an adjoining ensuite off the deck. The birdsong and general ambience was so calming and Lynne’s hospitality and generosity was wonderful! Including her homemade apple pie, fresh farm eggs and chutney, and the ever present sensitive touches that she sprinkles around the property. We got to pet and feed the donkeys, horses and cows and learn about her eco imprint in this world. Highly recommend you stay here, be it in a dome or caravan. Recommend you book a reiki treatment or meditate at the dromedan , or do yoga at sunrise on the Sataya deck or just walk and enjoy the property. Everything is authentically and sustainably operating for the greater good of the environment and the animals and gardens under Lynne’s gentle care. You won’t be disappointed and we will be back!!

Weekend Trip to Turkey's Nest Rainforest Cottages

What a beautiful slice of paradise. This cottage is completely private and very quiet. If you are looking to get away from it all this is your place. The cottage has such charm and character and it was so lovely reading the story of the cottage history and all the environmental considerations both when building the cottage and ongoing. We had some lovely feathered and furry visitors which added to the charm and the provided bird seed for the cockatoos was a great touch. We had a very comfortable relaxing stay and will definately be back.

Weekend Trip to Nature's Edge Cottage & Campsites.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at dragonfly cottage. It has everything you could possibly need and the kitchen is very well appointed. The bathroom and outdoor toilet is very luxurious and we felt like it was a hotel standard of bathroom. It was a very hot weekend but luckily there was a fan in the cottage that ran off 12 V power so we managed to stay cool at night. Perfect for a couple, I think it might be a stretch with more than two adults. Glen was very communicative and helpful. We would definitely consider coming back.

Weekend Trip to Ubuntu Living

Such a lovely location to connect with nature and family and friends. Michael and Kagi have provided a great setting to just relax and recharge. It’s walking distance to the Conondale national park with fabulous crystal clear swimming holes everywhere to explore. The tents are very spacious and the cooking facilities have everything you need. Just pack some clothes and food and you’ll have a great time!

"Cahoola Cabins" - a beautiful place to connect with family and relax in nature and tranquillity. The cabins are cute and well-equipped. The host, Jimmy, is really helpful, approachable and a pleasure to deal with. I'm looking forward to returning with a group of friends and family who enjoy camping and caravanning, as it's a great place to gather together.

What a beautiful, tranquil spot. The cabins are comfortable with gas hot water to the ensuite, two burner gas cooktop, solar lighting and a 240 volt outlet suitable for the supplied fan or charging phones and laptops. The firepit area is shady during the day and close to the creek. Lots of birdlife and we spotted possums, marsupial mice, platypus and wallabies. Host Jimmy is very helpful and welcoming and his directions are clear.

Weekend Trip to Noosa Everglades Retreat/Camping

We enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing and beautiful. Be mindful if you want to go to Harrys Hut for canoeing. It 10km super bumpy and narrow road. I was inexperienced with trailer and had stressful time with trailer. Otherwise everything else was great.

3 nights at Nature's Edge Cottage & Campsites.

The cottage was lovely and a perfect break from technology. The river was walking distance for a swim which was nice. There was a couple of things such as the outdoor lighting (didnt work) and the pond (very smelly if the wind was blowing the wrong way) needed some TLC. But overall a good stay.

6 nights at Nature's Edge Cottage & Campsites.

We really enjoyed our stay, a first time experience for us staying off grid. Glen and Dominique have really put thought into Dragonfly Cottage. We loved the bathroom, kitchen and outdoor area ( the car stereo with playlist was a nice touch ) The perfect place to escape and be with nature and we had plenty to keep us entertained during out stay. Would definitely recommend
