Weekend Trip to Nature's Edge Cottage & Campsites.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at dragonfly cottage. It has everything you could possibly need and the kitchen is very well appointed. The bathroom and outdoor toilet is very luxurious and we felt like it was a hotel standard of bathroom. It was a very hot weekend but luckily there was a fan in the cottage that ran off 12 V power so we managed to stay cool at night. Perfect for a couple, I think it might be a stretch with more than two adults. Glen was very communicative and helpful. We would definitely consider coming back.

The cottage was lovely and a perfect break from technology. The river was walking distance for a swim which was nice. There was a couple of things such as the outdoor lighting (didnt work) and the pond (very smelly if the wind was blowing the wrong way) needed some TLC. But overall a good stay.

We really enjoyed our stay, a first time experience for us staying off grid. Glen and Dominique have really put thought into Dragonfly Cottage. We loved the bathroom, kitchen and outdoor area ( the car stereo with playlist was a nice touch ) The perfect place to escape and be with nature and we had plenty to keep us entertained during out stay. Would definitely recommend

Weekend Trip to Nature's Edge Cottage & Campsites.

We had a nice stay at Dragonfly Cottage Off-Grid Getaway. The location is peaceful, secluded, and surrounded by nature. It’s close to the Mary River for a swim or paddle, and Kenilworth is just a short drive away if you need supplies. The cabin is cozy and well-equipped with the essentials for a comfortable stay. The bathrooms were a nice surprise—more luxurious than you might expect from the rustic exterior. If you're after a quiet retreat, this is a good spot to switch off and unwind.

We spent two nights at the cattlemen’s cabin for a family adventure. Had a fantastic weekend - we loved it here. The kids loved the creeks, riding on the property on their bikes and cooking marshmallows on the fire pit. We hope to return again someday.

Weekend Trip to Quails Ridge Farm Stay

Our family recently enjoyed a fantastic stay at Diggers Rest in Beerwah, Queensland. Nestled amidst the stunning Glass House Mountains, the off-grid cabin offered breathtaking panoramic views. The cabin itself was comfortable and well-equipped, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the pool. Perfectly maintained and consistently refreshing, it was the ideal place to cool off during the day and enjoy the starry night sky. The hosts, Karen and Tash , were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They went above and beyond, providing extra fans and water to help us stay comfortable during a particularly hot period. We highly recommend Diggers Rest to families and couples seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway in a beautiful natural setting. The combination of stunning scenery, comfortable accommodations, and exceptional hospitality made our stay truly memorable.

The best family-friendly glamping near Sandstone Point guide

Where to go

Sunshine Coast

North of Sandstone Point, escape to the Beerburrum and Beerwah State Forests to hike bushland trails with views of the Glass House Mountains. Further north, the beaches of the Sunshine Coast are among Queensland’s most popular. Hit the beach at Caloundra, Noosa Heads, or Rainbow Beach, and don’t miss top attractions, including the Eumundi Markets and Australia Zoo.

Moreton Bay

Follow the coastal road south of Sandstone Point through Deception Bay and Beachmere for a scenic road trip. The beach resorts of Scarborough and Redcliffe are ideal for exploring the bay—go paddleboarding, take a whale-watching cruise around the islands, or follow the Clontarf-Redcliffe coastal walk. Ferries for Moreton Island leave from Brisbane, where you can spend the day beach hopping or snorkelling the Tangalooma Wrecks.

Around Lake Wivenhoe

Campers will find plenty of options around Lake Wivenhoe and neighbouring Lake Atkinson, just under two hours’ drive west of Sandstone Point. Swim, snorkel, and fish at the beaches, explore the lake by boat or kayak, or cycle the waterfront trails. Nearby, D'Aguilar National Park has a network of hiking trails and remote bush camping.

When to go

The sun shines year-round in Sandstone Point, and beachgoers can swim and surf right through autumn. Summer (December through January) is peak season, and the small town fills up with holidaymakers, so book campsites well in advance. Daytime temperatures average 20°C in winter, and off-season camping often means lower prices too. Visit between May and September for a chance to spot migrating humpback whales along the coast.

Know before you go

There is a supermarket and a few shops in Sandstone Point, but for camping gear or to stock up on supplies, head to Caboolture, a 20-minute drive away.

Fire bans are common in Queensland during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations in advance.
If you plan to drive on the beaches and trails of Bribie Island, you’ll need a high-clearance 4WD.
