Cabins in Sunshine Coast Hinterland guide

Overview

The Sunshine Coast Hinterland is less than a 2-hour drive from Brisbane—and an even shorter drive from the busy beachside suburbs of Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Noosa, and Caloundra—yet it somehow remains a world all its own. Here, you'll find the mountain towns of Montville, Mapleton and Maleny, home to cafes, craftspeople, and some of the best cabin camping in Queensland. While some cabin rentals only offer the most basic of amenities (think long drops), most are fully self-contained and outfitted with kitchens, barbecues, and ensuite bathrooms with flush toilets. Some even offer fireplaces, a welcome addition as the high altitude causes chilly winter nights. Regardless of whether you want to stay with your pet on a local farm, or check into a luxurious cottage deep in the rainforest for a romantic getaway, you'll find a cabin stay you won't soon forget.
