Sunset Heaven & Day Spa, standing 550m above sea level in the heart of Tamborine Mountain with breathtaking view. At sunset time, you can enjoy the fantastic beauty of nature as the sun melts into the depths of the mountains. The sky changes from pale blue to dark blue, and the horizon changes from vibrant golden to orange, and you’ll forget that you are in this world during the twilight time. Makes you feel like you’re in Heaven!
After sunset, a sky full of stars appears there. The countless glittering stars are just natural planetariums. On sunny nights, especially near the new moon, the entire night sky becomes a sea of stars. Feel the eternal flow of time under all the constellations, the Milky Way, the nebulae, and the shooting stars found in the Southern Hemisphere.As the sun rises, there is a morning mist coloured by the sunrise. After enjoying breakfast in the magnificent nature, stroll through the nearby mountains and beautiful rainforests. There are 6 trekking courses in the tambourine, so you’ll have ultimate freedom in choosing your favourite trekking course.
This property is where you can experience nature, the earth, and the universe with all five senses, away from the busy daily life and hustle and bustle. Why don't you return to the origin of human beings from the bottom of your heart by putting yourself in nature and be healed by the splendor of the universe and the connection with Mother Earth? Paradise on earth.A place to regain inner peace.That is Sunset Heaven Ryokan.
Strictly No Campfires
Campfires are absolutely prohibited. Our site is on the lawn, and the combination of dry air, mountain winds, and dry grass creates an extreme risk of catching fire and causing a catastrophic bushfire. We are a place to safely enjoy the sunset and stargazing, not a traditional campground. Thank you for keeping our mountain safe.

Our sites are completely isolated from town, with views and not visible from the road. Sites are set among nearly 100 acres of a mix of open land and rainforest. Multiple natural springs exist on the property and a few small spring-fed waterholes are scattered down the cascading hills. Friendly ducks, geese, fish, horses and an abundance of native wildlife live here. This location is home to several endangered species due to being one of the last isolated pockets of rainforest in the area.
Sites are part of The Bush Clinic where we specialise in designing and making natural creams, soaps, teas, dodorants and other products as well as running regular Meditation courses and topics such as Energy, Frequency, Grounding and Advanced Organic Growth techniques for those wanting to join in are formally available during your stay.
We are new to HipCamp so have limited facilities at present, but they are in progress and we have loads of space per site, comfortable, and lots to offer for those wanting to reconnect with Nature. If you know what ley-lines are - this is the right place to visit ;-)
PS if you are towing a van or camper pls remember to engage 4wd at the front gravel gate (low range 2nd is best). This helps avoid chewing the road up...

We had such a wonderful stay at Sarabah Creek Camping. We spent two nights on Site 3, and it was the perfect spot—private, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The creek was absolutely stunning and made for a relaxing weekend, and the whole property was incredibly well maintained.
Everything was clean, quiet, and exactly what we were hoping for. It was the perfect escape, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Sarabah Creek Camping to anyone looking for a peaceful camping experience in a beautiful setting.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stonesthrow is easily one of the best camping spots I’ve stayed at around Brisbane. The campsites are huge, private, and spread out enough that you don’t feel like you’re on top of other campers. The views are incredible, especially if you stay on one of the elevated sites, and the creek is perfect for cooling off during the day.
The hosts are genuinely welcoming and go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great stay. The property is beautifully maintained, and having the friendly farm animals wandering around adds to the experience.
Whether you’re after a quiet weekend away, camping with mates, or bringing the family, this place has something for everyone. It’s peaceful, scenic, and close enough to Brisbane that it’s an easy weekend escape. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Stonesthrow!
We stayed in the ‘camel yards’ the owners/hosts were very friendly and accomodating.
The kids had a blast.
We loved hiking to the top to feed the horses. The farm dogs visiting us each morning and throughout the day was a highlight!
The property is quite hilly and has a few creek crossings which adds to the serenity.
Thanks for having us.

Great site, creek was beautiful and a really good base to explore O’rilies guest house and the national park. We stayed on the pumpkin patch site with two vans. The site had a fire pit and toilet. Would definitely recommend this place

Lovely peaceful spot next to the river. Great swimming hole, that would be awesome in summer. Each site has a fire pit, if you are looking for a lazy, peaceful weekend look no further.

Where to go
Along the Gold Coast
The world-famous beaches of the Gold Coast are just a 40-minute drive from Tamborine Mountain. Check into a seafront campsite and spend your days swimming, surfing, and sunbathing along the sandy beaches, or head to Surfers Paradise to kayak around the waterways and experience the legendary nightlife. Family campers will find entertainment for all ages along the coast, from theme parks to wildlife sanctuaries.
Gold Coast Hinterlands
Tamborine Mountain is well-situated for exploring the surrounding hinterlands. Head south to hike in the Numinbah Valley and admire glow worms at the Natural Bridge in the Springbrook National Park. Or, for the ultimate hiking adventure, trek through UNESCO-listed rainforest and enjoy backcountry camping in the Lamington National Park.
Brisbane and the Islands
Urban campers have options in Brisbane, and the city makes a strategic basecamp for discovering the surrounding islands. Cruise out to North Stradbroke Island to pitch your tent on secluded beaches, or catch the ferry to Moreton Island to dive the Tangalooma Wrecks and drive along the beaches in a 4WD. Further north, Bribie Island is an idyllic escape for campers, with remote campsites reachable by boat and kayak.
When to go
Coastal campers looking to escape the summer heat will find temperatures slightly lower in the hinterlands, but expect high humidity and frequent showers from December through April. The winter months (June through August) are the most popular time to explore, with warm, mild weather ideal for hiking. Weekends are always busiest, and popular attractions can get crowded, but it’s still worth visiting at this time to enjoy the markets.
Know before you go
- There is no camping in the Tamborine Mountain National Park. Camping permits are required to camp within Queensland’s national parks and must be reserved in advance.
- There is no public transport to Tamborine Mountain, and you will need your own transport to explore the hinterlands and national parks.
- Tamborine Mountain has a selection of shops, restaurants, and artisan producers, so you’ll have no problem finding options for eating and drinking. Gas stations and supermarkets are in the area, but for specialist camping gear, head to Brisbane or the Gold Coast.
- Fire bans are common in Queensland during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations and always use designated fire pits.
