Kalimna Country Retreat – Space, Privacy & True Country Calm
Escape the crowds and unwind in the wide-open beauty of the Mary Valley at Kalimna Country Retreat, a peaceful working cattle and sheep property offering large, private, and beautifully maintained campsites, just minutes from the Bruce Highway.
Set across rolling paddocks, shaded creek lines, and pockets of bushland, Kalimna is perfect for campers who value space, quiet, and a genuine country experience. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or as part of a club or group, you’ll enjoy the freedom to relax without feeling crowded or overlooked.
Wake to birdsong and fresh country air, then spend your days exactly as you please — relax at your campsite, wander the property, or simply soak up the peace and space. When you feel like exploring, Noosa beaches, Imbil, Kenilworth, Pomona, and Borumba Dam are all within easy reach. Return in the evening to a campfire under the stars, while kangaroos and abundant wildlife move quietly across the property.
Kalimna features wide, level, and manicured campgrounds, with sites suitable for tents, caravans, and motorhomes. Creekside campsites provide shade, natural sounds, and a genuine connection to the land. Firewood is available on-site, and local cafés, supplies, and dump points are conveniently close in Imbil and Pomona.
For those who enjoy stretching their legs, manicured walking tracks wind throughout the property, including an easy 1km loop and a longer 2km circuit. These trails follow creek banks, pass through open paddocks and bushland, and lead to lookout points with sweeping views of the property and surrounding mountain ranges — perfect for morning walks or sunset strolls.
🐾 Pet-friendly (pets welcome when kept contained)
🔥 Campfires permitted (conditions apply, firewood available)
🚐 Fully self-contained sites for independent travellers
👥 Ideal for group and club bookings
🌿 Quiet, uncrowded, and naturally beautiful
If you’re looking for a relaxed, no-rush stay where you can truly switch off, breathe deeply, and enjoy space, scenery, and true country calm, Kalimna offers an experience that smaller, busier campgrounds simply can’t.

Kanimbia Cottages / Camping offers true luxury through slow living and a deep connection with nature. Wake to birdsong, breathe in fresh hinterland air, enjoy quiet moments of reflection, or spend unhurried time with your loved ones. This is a place to pause, reset, and move at a gentler pace. Located approximately 9 km from Mapleton in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland of Queensland, the property sits at the doorstep of Mapleton National Park and spans 30 acres of peaceful countryside surrounded by native forest, open skies, and natural beauty. The area is rich with rainforest walks, scenic trails, and nearby waterfalls such as Gheerulla and Kondalilla, inviting you to explore or simply wander without a plan. During the day, sunlight filters through the trees and the land feels alive; by night, the stillness settles in and on clear evenings the Milky Way stretches across the sky in breathtaking detail. Your campsite (Site 1 or Site 2) is thoughtfully positioned near a picnic table and within easy reach of essential amenities, including onsite outdoor toilets for comfort (please see photos). Beautifully designed wooden decks are available for setting up your tents, offering a peaceful and elevated space for a restful night’s sleep. Spend your days enjoying gentle walks, quiet sunsets, and the soothing chorus of birds, and your evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace, sharing stories and warmth beneath a sky full of stars. Kanimbia Cottages / Camping is a place for romance, reflection, and reconnection — a simple, soulful escape where nature sets the pace and memories are made slowly.

Just spent 2 glorious weeks at Kalimna. We did a couple of the walks and the views are breathtaking. We have patted the horses and watched the cows and calves in the paddock. We hung a hammock in the trees and spent many hours in the shade reading and enjoying the sounds of nature. Truely spectacular place to stay. Darren and Simone are the perfect hosts - happy to help or chat if you want to or they will leave you to just enjoy the quiet if that’s what you come here for. I have not felt this relaxed and happy for many years.

If you’re looking for that authentic country camping vibe, this is it. There are so many friendly animals around, which was such a highlight, and the lakefront view is absolutely stunning—perfect for just zoning out and relaxing.
The grass is perfectly manicured, making the whole site feel incredibly clean and comfortable. I was also obsessed with the kitchen; it’s so beautifully designed that even cooking felt like a "vibe."
Most importantly, the hosts were exceptionally kind and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed. From the facilities to the scenery and the hospitality, everything was spot on. I’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Bellwood Farm Stay as a family and absolutely loved it.
The grounds are quiet, spacious, and genuinely relaxing — proper farm stay vibes.
Maree is an awesome host and makes sure your stay is comfortable and stress free.
Our daughter had a great time. A particular favourite was the Foosball Table in the barn, which was the source of a lot of competitive family fun and laughter during our stay!
We highly recommend Bellwood Farm Stay for families who want a genuine rural escape. We will be back.
