The best glamping in North Stradbroke Island with wifi provided

Known as "Straddie" by locals and also increasingly by its Aboriginal name, Minjerribah, this popular holiday spot for Brisbane families is more than 25,000 hectares of wilderness and long beaches. The island vibe is laid-back with an emphasis on nature—think scenic gorges, bushwalking, and wildlife. The three townships—Dunwich, Amity, and Point Lookout—sit about 20 kilometres apart and are linked by sealed roads. Surfers love Point Lookout for the closest surf breaks to Brisbane, while the other side of the island is almost entirely covered by Naree Budjong Djara National Park’s sand dunes, freshwater lakes, wetlands, and heathland. Camping is available within the park, but most other island camping is managed by Minjerribah Camping, including beach camping. For remote beach camping, a 4WD vehicle is needed (along with a vehicle access permit).

We loved our stay in this cosy, beautifully renovated little house. Nestled in a very quiet area, with lovely parkland, much wildlife and a wonderful cafe a short walk away, it had everything we could need. The house was extremely clean and our hosts were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The directions provided were comprehensive and made finding the place a breeze. Such a relaxing place to get away from it all!

Weekend Trip to Turkey's Nest Rainforest Cottages

Loved the cozy get away at the Macadamia Lodge. Being able to disconnect from the world and enjoy each other's company was just what we needed to hit pause on our busy lives. No social media, no news, no rushing around. Just relaxing. The boardgames provided were more than enough to keep us entertained and the fireplace was warm enough for the whole room well into the night. Was a very successful surprise birthday get away for us and we definitely highly recommend visiting! If you're one to enjoy a movie or two, Rosemary and Russell are more than happy to provide a tv and DVD player.

Weekend Trip to Binna Burra Lodge

Fantastic stay, enjoyed the beautiful views and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Everything we needed was easily accessible and cleaned regularly. The maintenance man was incredible, awaiting us with lighting at the bbq out of the scheduled hours due to heavy cloud coverage. Amazing place and great hikes, be sure to pack insect repellent and beware of the leeches (they are plentiful). Overall an amazing time spent and great value, just wish we could have stayed longer

Where to go

The North Gorge Headlands Walk

This walk is not to be missed, as the boardwalk offers stunning views of the gorge, and is a great place for spotting turtles, dolphins, and whales (between May and November).

Naree Budjong Djara National Park walking tracks

Six walking tracks run through the park, five of which start in the car park at Blue Lake (Kaboora), about 9 km from Dunwich. Some tracks have limited shade, so early morning walks are best, especially in summer. The most challenging track is Kabul (carpet snake), which has long steep sections. The Jarlo (fire beetle) track offers views to the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and the Glass House Mountains to the north.

Brown Lake (Lake Bummiera)

Brown Lake is stained by the tannin from the leaves of surrounding tea trees and paperbarks. It is only 3.5 km from Dunwich and a great place for birdwatching and wildflowers, while waterside trails allow you to walk the lake’s perimeter.

Moreton Bay Marine Park

Snorkel or scuba dive with giant manta rays and lazy leopard sharks in Moreton Bay Marine Park on a tour with a local outfitter. At Manta Bommie, off the island’s northeast corner, these amazing creatures are unfazed by swimmers above them. The excursion might also include sightings of turtles, dolphins, and bull sharks.

When to go

North Stradbroke Island’s subtropical climate makes it a year-round destination. Summers are warm and sometimes rainy, while winters are mild. Temperatures range from 22–30°C in summer (December to February), and in winter (June to August), you can expect 12–20°C.

Know before you go

Bookings and camping permits are essential on North Stradbroke Island.
A regular passenger and car ferry service operates from Brisbane, or you can take a private water taxi. The crossing takes about 30 minutes, and ferries are met by local buses at Dunwich.
If travelling without camping gear, Straddie Camper Trailer & Camping Equipment Hire at Point Lookout can provide everything you need—and they’ll even set up camp for you. First-time campers can get extra instruction to feel prepared.
The best place to see the sensational Straddie sunsets is at Amity Point, on the northernmost tip of the island.
Blue Lake (Kaboora) is a place of cultural significance for the Quandamooka people and should be respected. Swimming is not allowed—instead, soak up the beauty of what is known as the "deep, silent pool."
