Welcome to Shanlyn Farm, an off-grid eco retreat set in the steep, rolling hills of Traveston in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. More than a farmstay, Shanlyn is a sanctuary of peace, reflection, and soulful living — created in memory of Shane and lovingly tended by Lynne.
The land itself is part of the experience. Tucked into the hillside, each space offers rainforest views, birdsong by day, and a canopy of stars at night. The terrain is natural and hilly, inviting slow walks and still moments.
Shanlyn is fully off-grid, powered by solar and supplied with rainwater. Décor is simple and thoughtful, with much of the furniture repurposed or handmade, blending rustic charm with sustainable living.
Animals roam freely here: horses graze in the paddocks, donkeys meander by with curiosity, cows move gently across the hills, chickens scratch at the earth, and peacocks bring flashes of colour as they pass. Their presence is part of Shanlyn’s spirit, and guests are welcome to enjoy their company with respect.
Guests also share in the Satya Deck, a timber platform with a communal firepit overlooking the forest, and the Shane Spiral Labyrinth, a ceremonial path for meditation and reflection. These spaces are the heart of Shanlyn, inviting both solitude and connection.
