Less than two hours from Brisbane, an immersive glamping experience awaits in the hinterlands.
Want to get away from it all? The lush rainforest and waterfalls of Sunshine Coast Hinterlands are less than a 2-hour drive from Brisbane, where the air is a bit fresher (bring a jumper—it's always a couple of degrees cooler here) and everything moves a bit slower. The Blackall Ranges are home to the mountain towns of Maleny, Montville, and Mapleton, as well as Kondalilla National Park. This is where you'll find cafes, boutiques, artisan workshops, and some of the best breweries in Australia. Glamping options also abound, including furnished cabins, luxury studios, and repurposed shipping containers, plus a growing number of canvas bell tents. Many glampsites are situated on area farms, which produce everything from milk to pineapples, making Sunshine Coast Hinterland glamping a memorable getaway at any time of year.
