(168)

64km from Gympie · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · Sunshine Coast, QLD

A cleared grass/gravel paddock close to everything Maroochydore, Coolum and the Sunshine Coast has to offer! Our land backs onto the Maroochy River (no direct access but the boat ramp is less than 5 minute drive away) and each site is sheltered by tall trees. There are 3 defined sites with plenty of room for privacy and escape in nature. Bring your own push bike or walking shoes to explore the mangroves and bushland. We have an abundance of native wildlife and it’s a good idea to bring mozzie/insect repellent. We do have plenty of firewood available although if it’s been raining it will be best to BYO wood. We have a communal fire pit you can use (please don't camp on the grass near the fire pit). We kindly ask all campers to be 100% self-sufficient as we do not have any waste, water, or power facilities. You carry it in you carry it out. Our site is 2WD friendly although once again if it's been raining it's best to stick to the gravel roads. Please message me if you have any questions! To keep us all safe, we have some VERY IMPORTANT notes: Please stay on the gravel roads - there are deep holes and drains hidden by long grass on neighbouring blocks. These can cause damage to vehicles and you will need a tow truck to be recovered. Bring your pets, please keep them close as we have no fences.

A hidden gem in the middle of the Sunshine Coast! Set on 20 acres, the campsites sit on a lovely, cleared, flat grassy area along the edge of a creek.

Such a beautiful stay ♥️ Such a nice way to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday. The most beautiful views, surrounded by nature and very cute and friendly animals. The grounds are taken such good care of and the space feels luxurious with the gardens, fire pits, arches and lighting. The owner, his son and dog are all amazing and so friendly!

Easily one of the best campsites I’ve stayed at! Such a peaceful spot on top of the hill, you can see how much love and work goes into the property. The property and surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful you truly feel like you’re in a movie. We had a lovely time with the animal tour and a relaxing time in the bath. This spot has everything you need including an outdoor shower and toilet. What really made our trip was how accomodating the host is. We didn’t want to leave and will be back for more.

It was an absolutely incredible stay at the Kia Ora Pony Club! I’ve been living too close to the city of this is the kinda shower pressure you get out here! The views of the mountain scape across the road are phenomenal I highly recommend you wake at about 5:30 to see the cows scratching and the sun rise! Would stay again! Hosts are very understanding and kind!

I want to go back. The view is so lovely, mountain sunsets and beautiful fields. Ambience was perfected by birdsong and nighttime mooing - distant enough to be unobtrusive and enjoyable. Can’t recommend enough!
