Warren the host was super nice and welcoming. The site was green and well manicured. The dam has kayaks to use for free to paddle out enjoying the picturesque surroundings. Lovely walks were welcomed on the property and the host has some awesome big plans for the future, so worth checking out now and also visiting in the future to watch it all unfold

We had such a wonderful stay at Sandy Creek Homestead, especially at Platypus Bend. The area was incredibly relaxing with beautiful views, and camping right by the dam made the whole experience feel so peaceful. We loved making use of the kayaks, took our stand up paddle board out on the water, and even managed to catch a fish!
The hosts were super friendly and accommodating throughout our stay, which made us feel really welcome. Such a thoughtful touch having fresh mandarins delivered to us on departure too.
We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting.

Sandy Creek was so peaceful and relaxing. The dams are beautiful, great to freshen off. The grounds are immaculate and the owners are a lovely family, delivering firewood straight to your camp-site. We were even lucky enough to receive some home grown mandarins. Definitely be back!!!

This is a beautiful property, and Warren is the perfect host. With the assistance of his wife and friendly helpful staff, he does everything possible to ensure a great stay. We were easy walking distance to two dams suitable for swimming and kayaking, and right on the banks of the creek. Porta loos and a shower, non potable water. Free mandarins!!! Terrific for kids, with wide open spaces. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We have camped here twice now and have really enjoyed both stays. The location is absolutely beautiful — so green and peaceful, almost New Zealand-like. The ponds are a real highlight, especially the larger one, which is stunning and lovely to kayak around in using the free kayaks provided.
The hosts are also very lovely and accommodating, always happy to assist with anything if needed.
The only small downside for us was that there were quite a few ants nests around, but otherwise it’s such a relaxing and scenic place to stay. We’d happily come back again.

The lush green grass was welcomed so no awning mats needed - also - all flat sites so no need for ramping up. Toilets were clean.
We were warmly welcomed into the piano bar . Nice beers and music. The gardens were tidy and pizzas were a hot. Our group were at Sublime for the long weekend music festival which didn’t disappoint. No tonic better than music in the forest. Thankyou to Sharyn and Richie. We’ll definitely be back

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.
