Escape the City & Reconnect With Nature
Unplug and unwind on a working bee farm in our well-insulated, off-grid tiny home set on 12 peaceful acres. Enjoy total privacy, rolling countryside views, and evenings on your private deck as bees return to their hives. Relax by the firepit under the stars, wake to birdsong, and enjoy fresh honey with ingredients for a hot breakfast on your first morning.
THE PROPERTY
12 acres with no neighbours in sight. Gum-lined creek, multiple paddocks, cows, and a paddock full of beehives. The tiny house sits in its own fenced paddock. Fencing is suitable for cattle (not dog-proof if off-leash).
🐕 Pets welcome
Pets are welcome with their own beds. Dogs are welcome to be off-leash at their own risk. This is a tick area, so tick treatment is recommended.
🐎 Travelling with a horse?
We have a paddock with water available — please message us to discuss.
⛺ Larger groups
We can accommodate multiple caravans or additional tents for a small extra charge — just get in touch.
THINGS TO DO Within Walking Distance
Step straight from your campsite into nature — no car needed.
This is a place where kids can be kids, parents can relax, and families can reconnect with nature — muddy boots, starry skies, and unforgettable memories included.
🌿 Creekside Walks
Stroll along our quiet access road to the creek crossing on the far side of the paddock. It’s a peaceful walk with beautiful rural views and plenty of birdlife.
🦆 Platypus Spotting at the Weir
Take a wander down to the weir and keep watch — we’re lucky to have platypus sightings here from time to time, especially around dawn and dusk.
🦜 Wildlife Watching
You’re surrounded by incredible native wildlife. Keep your eyes and ears open for rainbow lorikeets, king parrots, black, pink and white cockatoos, kookaburras, and more. On the ground you might spot echidnas, wallabies, and even yabbies in the creek.
🥾 Walk to Gympie National Park
Cross the weir and head up the access road hill through the neighbouring macadamia farm to reach the edge of Gympie National Park, where you’ll find scenic bushland and walking opportunities right from your doorstep.

🌿 Shanlyn Farm – Off-Grid Eco Retreat
Welcome to Shanlyn Farm, an off-grid eco retreat set in the steep, rolling hills of Traveston in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. More than a farmstay, Shanlyn is a sanctuary of peace, reflection, and soulful living — created in memory of Shane and lovingly tended by Lynne.
The land itself is part of the experience. Tucked into the hillside, each space offers rainforest views, birdsong by day, and a canopy of stars at night. The terrain is natural and hilly, inviting slow walks and still moments.
Shanlyn is fully off-grid, powered by solar and supplied with rainwater. Décor is simple and thoughtful, with much of the furniture repurposed or handmade, blending rustic charm with sustainable living.
Animals roam freely here: horses graze in the paddocks, donkeys meander by with curiosity, cows move gently across the hills, chickens scratch at the earth, and peacocks bring flashes of colour as they pass. Their presence is part of Shanlyn’s spirit, and guests are welcome to enjoy their company with respect.
Guests also share in the Satya Deck, a timber platform with a communal firepit overlooking the forest, and the Shane Spiral Labyrinth, a ceremonial path for meditation and reflection. These spaces are the heart of Shanlyn, inviting both solitude and connection.
Accommodation at Shanlyn
🌙 Solace Dome – A spacious eco-dome with queen bed, rainwater bathroom, kitchenette, and a private deck overlooking the rainforest.
🚐 Little Soho – A restored 1968 vintage caravan with queen bed, dining nook, and retro charm, set in a quiet nook of the hillside.
🔥 Satya Deck & Labyrinth – A shared space for meditation, tea, yoga, and evenings by the fire under starry skies.
At Shanlyn, you are invited to Stay … Breathe, Remember, Reconnect.

Weekend Trip to Shanlyn Farm • Breathe & Reconnect
We loved staying at Shanlyn farm for a quiet and peaceful off grid hideaway. This was our second stay but the first at “Little Soho” which was a well appointed and comfortable vintage caravan with a deck, a view and an adjoining ensuite off the deck. The birdsong and general ambience was so calming and Lynne’s hospitality and generosity was wonderful! Including her homemade apple pie, fresh farm eggs and chutney, and the ever present sensitive touches that she sprinkles around the property. We got to pet and feed the donkeys, horses and cows and learn about her eco imprint in this world. Highly recommend you stay here, be it in a dome or caravan. Recommend you book a reiki treatment or meditate at the dromedan , or do yoga at sunrise on the Sataya deck or just walk and enjoy the property. Everything is authentically and sustainably operating for the greater good of the environment and the animals and gardens under Lynne’s gentle care. You won’t be disappointed and we will be back!!

We had an amazing stay at Craig’s property- absolutely beautiful setup with breathtaking scenery all around. The facilities were top-notch, and the little breakfast touches were such a thoughtful bonus! There’s little to no reception, which we actually loved. We’ll definitely be recommending this place to our friends.
