Kanimbia Cottages / Camping offers true luxury through slow living and a deep connection with nature. Wake to birdsong, breathe in fresh hinterland air, enjoy quiet moments of reflection, or spend unhurried time with your loved ones. This is a place to pause, reset, and move at a gentler pace. Located approximately 9 km from Mapleton in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland of Queensland, the property sits at the doorstep of Mapleton National Park and spans 30 acres of peaceful countryside surrounded by native forest, open skies, and natural beauty. The area is rich with rainforest walks, scenic trails, and nearby waterfalls such as Gheerulla and Kondalilla, inviting you to explore or simply wander without a plan. During the day, sunlight filters through the trees and the land feels alive; by night, the stillness settles in and on clear evenings the Milky Way stretches across the sky in breathtaking detail. Your campsite (Site 1 or Site 2) is thoughtfully positioned near a picnic table and within easy reach of essential amenities, including onsite outdoor toilets for comfort (please see photos). Beautifully designed wooden decks are available for setting up your tents, offering a peaceful and elevated space for a restful night’s sleep. Spend your days enjoying gentle walks, quiet sunsets, and the soothing chorus of birds, and your evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace, sharing stories and warmth beneath a sky full of stars.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Campers visiting this site can expect a peaceful and private experience, with many praising the cleanliness of the amenities, the serene surroundings, and the accommodating hosts. The raised wooden platforms for tents are particularly appreciated, although some campers noted a lack of tie-down points. While most visitors enjoyed the seclusion, a few found the proximity to the main house and other campers less than ideal. Despite minor issues, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with the majority of campers eager to return.

    We had such a lovely stay and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. Everything felt welcoming, relaxed and well looked after. Our host was incredibly kind and helpful, which made the experience even more special. It was the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature and unwind. We’d happily stay again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and memorable camping experience.

    Beautiful spot to camp, big space and the wooden deck was a nice touch to set up our tent. Plenty of space to spread out and felt very private. Great toilets around the corner from campsite and an outdoor shower at the site. Property was lovely, well kept and we enjoyed wandering around and just enjoying the place. Would recommend and looking forward to coming back soon.
