Coorie Vale is a 100-acre working cattle and horse property on Mt Mee, within an hour drive from the Sunshine Coast or just over an hour from Brisbane. We have a tranquil camp area on Bungo Creek flats, great for families to enjoy nature, and a beautiful private site on the Ridge, with expansive, peaceful views.  The creek campsites have easy access to the toilets and non-potable water.  Coorie Vale is perfect for nature lovers and adventurers - go rock hopping exploring the creek and relax under the stars around the campfire.  It is steep country down to the creek, so a 4WD is an absolute must. Please note, if there is lots of rain, the track to the creek can get very muddy and difficult. If access is compromised due to weather, there are alternative spaces you can set up camp. We accept tent and 4WD camper trailers only, please no caravans or motorhomes. Our property is dog-friendly, keeping in mind it is a working cattle property.  Children under 12 stay free. Please still add them to your booking so we can monitor numbers, they will not be charged. Over Christmas, Coorie Vale is a great spot to base yourself for the Woodford Folk Festival (15-minute drive).

4. Vander Farm

57km from Maroochydore · 4 sites · Tents, RVs

Tucked away on a small hobby farm backing directly onto Sheep Station Conservation Park, this is a peaceful, down-to-earth spot for guests who enjoy nature just as it is. You’ll be sharing the property with a handful of characterful residents — four sheep, a friendly alpaca, three silky chickens, two cheeky geese, and a very elderly Muscovy duck — plus our three young boys, who bring plenty of life and laughter to the place. This is a simple, relaxed farm stay with a rustic feel — a little scruffy around the edges and refreshingly free of bells and whistles. It’s a great place to slow down, enjoy the outlook, and soak up the natural surroundings. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times due to the animals and surrounding conservation area. Guests must be fully self-contained and bring their own toilet. A fire pit is available for your use, with firewood provided, making it a lovely spot to unwind in the evenings. Please note that the dam is more for scenery than swimming.

Welcome to Tranquil Valley Noosa, The peaceful hobby farm located in the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. 📸Insta: @tranquilvalleynoosa With rolling hills, tall pine trees and a variety of wildlife, this nature haven is the perfect place to relax, reconnect and soak in the peace and calm of this beautiful land. The farm is home to more than 70 animals (All have names) including dwarf goats, cows, chickens and miniature pigs, and our guests often have the chance to see cute baby animals up close! During the day you can enjoy a walk through the pine forest, and in the afternoon experience the incredible sunset vistas from our hill or from the luxurious outdoor bath. By night, sit by the firepit and gaze up at the stars while listening to the sounds of nature on the fig tree swinging chair. The outdoor bathtub is available for hire for the evening with prior notice, and will come with beautiful dried flowers, natural bath salts charged at $60 per use. We recommend our guests bring swimmers for the bath. During your stay you will have access to our outdoor shower and composting toilet with a view.

However if you are bringing your furry companions with you, please ensure they are friendly with other dogs, kept on a lead and supervised at all times, as our baby chickens and miniature pigs like to explore during the day along with my dog who will constantly want to be around.

We’re just a short drive to Eumundi, Pomona or Cooroy for cute shops and markets, or venture 25 minutes to Noosa for a day at the beach and a variety of quality restaurants.

We stayed at the Ridge site and the view was amazing with far reaching views and at night plenty of stars! The elevated site had a nice breeze keeping us cool during the day and comfortable by the fire at night. At the lower sites there is a nice water way to explore.

Excellent location, close to town, 8 min from Australia Zoo which is why we chose this fantastic property. Power and water available. Despite being close to the owners house it’s still very private and Wayne and Kaye are lovely.

Had a lovely stay - being greeted by Ralph the dog was a lovely welcome, Tony was a great host and super accomodating, even came down to check everything was going alright after the first night. Long drops were the flashiest we’d ever seen! 😂 10/10 would recommend to anyone for a quiet and relaxing get away.

Tony was super accomodating and showed us the track to the creekside camp sites. Unfortunately storms just before arrival and road tyres on the shark 6 meant I wasn’t confident to get back up the track. Tony allowed us to camp up the top with splendid views. Highly recommend.

Felt extremely welcomed by Tony who greeted us on arrival and escorted us to our site. The site itself was beautiful and we were lucky enough to get a site closest to the water, falling asleep to the sound of flowing water was lovely. The weather turned quickly on our day of departure and the track became tricky but Tony was amazing and gave us a hand. Thank you so much we will definitely be back.
