Coast and country combined. 25 acre farm is surrounded by other large farms and beautiful countryside as far as the eye can see. - However you are only 2.5 minutes drive to the nearest beach (Casuarina) and shops! The land is elevated, flood free and has some ocean views/breezes. Guests MUST be fully self contained with their own toilet facilities. This must be shown to host on arrival. If you do not have your own toilet you will be asked to leave. If you want to pay a bit extra for your own private ensuite (running water, hot shower, power, lights, vanity and flushing toilet) then you can stay without your own toilet. Cabarita beach (voted best beach in Australia for 2020 and 2021) is only 7 min away, Fingal and Dreamtime Beaches 10 min drive. - When there is a bit of swell you can hear the crashing of waves at night time as you relax. - Camping area is a long way from the street so no noise pollution & no light pollution - with countless stars if there is a clear evening with no clouds. - I do not know how to change 'pets' status on website. But they are only allowed if you describe they type of pet/breed and promise they will be safe on a lead at all times and not roam around the farm doing what they want. Busy weekends they may not be allowed - ask when booking. This site can easily accommodate small or large groups with flushing toilets, hot showers, kitchen and fridge available. There is also lots of Bell - 'glamping tents' for full luxury provided. If someone in your group wants it all 'finished' when you arrive.

The rainforest Treehouse is situated in a rainforest pocket of the Mount Warning Caldera, completely surrounded by lush and vibrant nature and sheltered from the outside world, while being just 2 minutes away from us and the comfy road that will take you to an amazing swimming hole, cafés and the nearby town. Once you enter the Treehouse private drive you will feel yourself being transported into a magical world of gently flowing water, natural light, tall trees, chirping birds, rustling leaves, crickets, and frogs. You will notice the energy shift into the safe embrace of our land, protected by Springbrook Mountain. The location of the Treehouse was chosen by our then young children. We all fell in love with the magnificent camphor laurel tree growing at the edge of the seasonal creek. We all found ourselves drawn to that place, so with the help of our friends and our children we began the project of manifesting a dream into a reality - the dream of living in the tree canopy. As we worked on the Treehouse, the design was constantly changing. The whole family, especially our youngest son, contributed to the manifestation of the dream. During that time we overcame many obstacles and found solutions to build in the tree. It was an adventure, a lot of fun and we learnt a lot. It became a dwelling for our kids for a period of time, until they grew up and left to conquer the big wide world. Now it is here for you to enjoy, to reconnect with your dreams, to dive deep into your childhood playful memories where the world of fantasy and reality merge together. Here you can just be yourself, embraced by nature and view at the world from your Treehouse verandah.

A special camping experience can be enjoyed at this spectacular location in QLD close to the NSW border for ADULTS ONLY i.e. 18 years and older and able bodied. Lamington National Park adjoins this outrageously beautiful property that features the waterfall made famous by actress Laura Dern in the iconic Sunsilk shampoo commercial filmed here in 1998. (LGBT welcome). A beautiful creek descends through the 135 acres which includes rainforest that is listed as State significant vegetation. There is a deep swimming hole at the waterfall and other swimming areas up and down the creeks. You can hike to the upper plateaus that feature two ancient Strangler Figs with ocean views and a view of Mt.Warning as well as to the Bushranger Caves and lookouts higher up on the Lamington Plateau. Natural beauty is everywhere you look with mountain views, volcanic boulders and rock formations, Upland Rainforest and lots of wildlife. This is a property for nature lovers. Mobile reception (Telstra works the best), flushing toilets (ladies & gents), hot shower, and campfires permitted in designated locations - sorry no pets. We will e-mail further details upon receiving your booking including a link to a Release and Indemnity form that must be completed prior to entering the property and a link to a form to advise your vehicle type and camping mode. *All bookings must be for 2 nights minimum and in the peak periods/long weekends 3 nights minimum and 4 nights for the Easter holidays.

Sunset Heaven & 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.

Weekend Trip to Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse
The red cabin was really a hidden gem. The room was very tidy, although the kitchen and bath were outside, they were still well maintained. The location was easy to find, we were able to enjoy our privacy and still get a stunning view. I especially enjoyed the creek near the site, there were no midges, and the water was clear and peaceful. Will visit again, highly recommended.

A very peaceful location all to yourself so close to town and the beach. Well set up with some solar lights, fire-pit, table, benches and swing. The dogs loved the freedom and there are some great off lead dog beaches close by. The elevated location meant we also had some lovely cooling breezes.

We loved Amani Acres! Such a peaceful, lush & cosy little camp all to ourselves, not too far away from the convenience and hustle & bustle of the Gold Coast & Tweed Heads. We ended up extending our stay! The owner was lovely & friendly but still respected our privacy. Will definitely come back if we’re in the area again!

"The Island" is beautiful spot surrounded by a nice strech of the creek. The kids had a great time playing and exploring. A peaceful and quiet spot very close to Tweed Heads, although we didn't encounter another person the entire weekend, just how we like it! We'd go back here again for the tranquility and convenience. Highly recommended for a short stay.

Lovely, peaceful, relaxing location by the creek. Plenty of space. We like that the owners only take one booking at a time. Our kids loved playing in the creek and being in nature all day. The only downside was a few March flies.

Amazing location and upon arrival we were greeted with a delightful space lite with lovely solar lights, surrounded by crickets and frogs and the sound of the ocean! It felt like “coming home”. This is our second time visiting and Scott the host is very responsive and easy to talk to. We will always recommend this location and being so close to town and beach it’s a perfect place to camp. There is a bbq table and fire pit with ample seating and beautiful swing for the kiddos to enjoy. We will be back in the new year!

The best camping in Burleigh Head National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Burleigh Head National Park, a scenic treasure on the Gold Coast. Traverse rainforest trails, spot migrating humpback whales, and marvel at the dramatic coastal views. While camping isn't available within the park, the array of activities from birdwatching to exploring ancient volcanic columns ensures a memorable visit for nature enthusiasts and day-trippers alike.

When to go

The best time to visit Burleigh Head National Park is during the cooler months from May to October, when the weather is mild and ideal for hiking. Avoid the peak of summer, as the heat and humidity can be intense. Winter and spring also offer the chance to witness humpback whales on their annual migration.

Know before you go

  • Check park alerts for track closures before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Wear sturdy footwear and bring water, as some trails can be challenging and facilities are limited.
  • Respect the wildlife by keeping a safe distance and not feeding the animals.
  • Be mindful of the cultural significance of the area to the Traditional Owners and treat the land with respect.
  • Photography is encouraged, but drones and other visual recording devices may be restricted in certain areas.
