The best farm glamping in Sunshine Coast

Australia’s most appealingly named strip of waterfront, the Sunshine Coast is a laidback spot with golden beaches, surf breaks, and lush hinterland. With options ranging from holiday parks set right on the beach and rainforest campgrounds to glamping tents on the edge of pristine wetlands, you’ll have no problem finding a place to sleep under the stars. The Sunshine Coast is popular year-round, but you can avoid the biggest crowds—and highest temperatures and heaviest rainfall—by visiting outside of summer (December through February).

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!!

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.

"Cahoola Cabins" - a beautiful place to connect with family and relax in nature and tranquillity. The cabins are cute and well-equipped. The host, Jimmy, is really helpful, approachable and a pleasure to deal with. I'm looking forward to returning with a group of friends and family who enjoy camping and caravanning, as it's a great place to gather together.

What a beautiful, tranquil spot. The cabins are comfortable with gas hot water to the ensuite, two burner gas cooktop, solar lighting and a 240 volt outlet suitable for the supplied fan or charging phones and laptops. The firepit area is shady during the day and close to the creek. Lots of birdlife and we spotted possums, marsupial mice, platypus and wallabies. Host Jimmy is very helpful and welcoming and his directions are clear.

3 nights at Nature's Edge Cottage & Campsites.

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

The best farm glamping in Sunshine Coast guide

Where to go

Caloundra

About an hour's drive north of Brisbane, Caloundra is home to some of Queensland’s best beaches. Kings Beach is a favourite for its oceanfront saltwater pool and walking tracks that lead around the Caloundra headland. In the heart of Caloundra, on the Pumicestone Passage, are a range of accommodation options from camping and caravan sites to oceanfront cabins and glamping tents, many with access to a swimming pool, laundry, and free wifi.

Maroochydore

Half an hour up the coast, Maroochydore is considered the heart of the Sunshine Coast. You can easily spend all your time in the main town, catching waves and enjoying the bars and restaurants that line its lively esplanade, but it’s also a prime spot for embarking on diving and snorkeling trips.

Coolum

Coolum is a perennially popular getaway for its beaches, golf courses, and carefree atmosphere. Explore the rocky headlands of Point Perry and Point Arkwright, and even tackle the climb to the peak of Mount Coolum—the view from the top is well worth the effort. Back down at sea level, oceanfront campgrounds offer van and camping spots with direct access to the beach.

Noosa

Surrounded by national parks, beaches, and hinterland, Noosa's natural beauty makes it the jewel in the Sunshine Coast’s crown. Adventure abounds: You can soak up the turquoise waters of Noosa Main Beach, spot wildlife in Noosa National Park, paddle through the wetlands of the Noosa Everglades, and head from Noosa North Shore to Rainbow Beach and into Great Sandy National Park, home to the famed Fraser Island.

Hinterland

Head into the Sunshine Coast’s Hinterland and discover the rainforest of Kondalilla National Park, the ancient volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains, and the bohemian atmosphere of the Eumundi Markets. You can wake up to mountain views and the sounds of a burbling creek at a number of area camping grounds.
