Suburban Poolside Caravan Retreat
10. Suburban Poolside Caravan Retreat
8.6km from Ipswich · 1 site
Slow down, switch off, and settle into a private escape where everything has already been taken care of.
This fully set-up caravan stay on our property is designed for guests who want to step away from noise, schedules, and effort—and simply arrive into calm. Set among natural surroundings and thoughtfully styled throughout, the experience blends the comfort of a boutique stay with the ease of relaxed outdoor living.
From the moment you arrive, the pace shifts. The caravan is stationary and fully prepared, with beds made, spaces styled, and the outdoor area ready to enjoy. There’s nothing to organize or set up, and no need to bring a caravan or camping gear—everything you need for a comfortable stay is already in place, allowing you to settle in immediately.
Much of the experience unfolds outdoors. Spend slow mornings by the pool, long afternoons stretched out on sun loungers, or quiet evenings gathered around the firepit as the light fades and the air cools. The deck and surrounding spaces invite you to linger—to read, talk, nap, or simply sit and take in the stillness. Whether you’re enjoying sunshine by day or the soft glow of firelight at night, the setting encourages you to pause and stay present.
Inside, the caravan offers a calm, modern retreat. The interior is well-appointed and welcoming, with a comfortable sleeping area, dining space, kitchen facilities, bathroom, and generous storage. Soft tones and considered styling create a sense of ease, while practical comforts make the space feel effortless to live in. It’s cosy without feeling confined, and designed to be immediately relaxing.
This experience is best suited to couples seeking a peaceful, low-key getaway. It is not a campground, caravan park, or bring-your-own caravan site, and it isn’t suitable for parties or loud gatherings. The atmosphere here is intentionally quiet and respectful, allowing all guests to fully enjoy the space.
If you’re looking for a private, thoughtfully curated stay where nothing needs planning and everything is ready on arrival, this experience has been created exactly for that.

Suburban Poolside Caravan Retreat
10. Suburban Poolside Caravan Retreat
8.6km from Ipswich · 1 site
Slow down, switch off, and settle into a private escape where everything has already been taken care of.
This fully set-up caravan stay on our property is designed for guests who want to step away from noise, schedules, and effort—and simply arrive into calm. Set among natural surroundings and thoughtfully styled throughout, the experience blends the comfort of a boutique stay with the ease of relaxed outdoor living.
From the moment you arrive, the pace shifts. The caravan is stationary and fully prepared, with beds made, spaces styled, and the outdoor area ready to enjoy. There’s nothing to organize or set up, and no need to bring a caravan or camping gear—everything you need for a comfortable stay is already in place, allowing you to settle in immediately.
Much of the experience unfolds outdoors. Spend slow mornings by the pool, long afternoons stretched out on sun loungers, or quiet evenings gathered around the firepit as the light fades and the air cools. The deck and surrounding spaces invite you to linger—to read, talk, nap, or simply sit and take in the stillness. Whether you’re enjoying sunshine by day or the soft glow of firelight at night, the setting encourages you to pause and stay present.
Inside, the caravan offers a calm, modern retreat. The interior is well-appointed and welcoming, with a comfortable sleeping area, dining space, kitchen facilities, bathroom, and generous storage. Soft tones and considered styling create a sense of ease, while practical comforts make the space feel effortless to live in. It’s cosy without feeling confined, and designed to be immediately relaxing.
This experience is best suited to couples seeking a peaceful, low-key getaway. It is not a campground, caravan park, or bring-your-own caravan site, and it isn’t suitable for parties or loud gatherings. The atmosphere here is intentionally quiet and respectful, allowing all guests to fully enjoy the space.
If you’re looking for a private, thoughtfully curated stay where nothing needs planning and everything is ready on arrival, this experience has been created exactly for that.

A beautiful piece of remnant forest on the bank of the Nerang River, with a swimming hole that is second to none.
The tree tent is situated in a small forest clearing overlooking the river rapids. The site has a compact outdoor kitchen complete with refrigerator, an outdoor hot shower, a firepit and a separate composting toilet. Sails are rigged above the tent to provide extra shade and shelter. It's private and shady but only a few minutes from the house.
The valley is a gem, only 200 odd people live here. If you love the outdoors - either just to chill or to actively recreate - this place is for you. As an outdoor educator, I have worked and played in the valley and surrounds for more than 25 years and I'm still discovering new things to see and do!
Advancetown Lake is a short drive away with paddling, sailing and fishing and no power boats or jetskis (Yeeha!!) There is a mountain bike park on the E side of the dam. You can walk from here to Springbrook and Lamington National Parks and the glow worms at Natural Bridge are a night time "must see".

We loved our stay at Undullah- Moore Farm. The Farmhouse Cottage is well
appointed with all the comforts of home but the fire pit, woodford hot tub, 4wd track and spacious, private position at the top of the hill, with its extensive views of farmland and Flinders Peak, gave enough of a feel of escaping the city. The hospitality was warm and genuine, facilities spot on and the atmosphere property itself immaculate. 10/10.

Absolutely gorgeous spot for a getaway and chance to unplug from the world and relax.
Would highly recommend bringing a bunch of board games, a nice puzzle and face masks for the ultimate relaxing experience.
Just note that the suite is attached to the main house and you will need to walk past their front door to get to and from. But Rose and Russel are lovely and the suite still felt private.

We visited Mystic Adventures on Christmas Day as a group of four and had an absolutely amazing time. It felt like camping but with everything provided, which made the experience very comfortable and stress free.
Even though it was a very hot day, we really enjoyed ourselves and made great memories. The setup was thoughtful and well organised, allowing us to relax and just enjoy the getaway. One of the highlights was the cute little park area for children with lights everywhere, which created such a lovely and welcoming atmosphere.
A special mention to Kathryn, who was incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. She truly made us feel comfortable and added a personal touch to the whole experience.
Overall, Mystic Adventures is perfect for couples, families, or friends who want a camping style experience without the hassle. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return.
