TerraLyra is situated on 55 acres of beautiful Fraser Coast Hinterland, surrounded by natural forests and land formations, and blessed with abundant wildlife. We offer 8 powered sites and 20 camp sites. Take a walk through the young forest up to the ridge amongst more mature gums and other native trees. Enjoy the Paperbark gum and Balga plant areas and find the hidden baby nature dam where you will be mesmerized by its beauty and serenity. We have been told that it is a great place for contemplation and meditation. Our large dam is home to fish and many native ducks, herons, swamp hens, cormorants, and more. Bird song trills through the forest daily, with flocks of wild parrots in the high trees. Occasionally, goannas and dragon lizards can be seen sunning themselves, and later in the day, wallabies and kangaroos can be seen making their move. Look out for the native brown and green frogs. Bring your kayak and paddle and swim in the large dam. There are great bike trails in the nearby Glenwood forest areas. We offer camping with a difference, providing a special place of rest and restoration with other optional extras, such as healings and readings onsite, alongside other activities like sky watch and fire ceremonies.

TerraLyra offers a tranquil escape nestled in nature, perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with the outdoors. Guests consistently praise the stunning views of the dam and the abundance of wildlife, adding to the peaceful ambiance. Heather and Louise are highlighted as warm and accommodating hosts, enhancing the experience with their friendly and helpful nature. While the majority of reviews are glowing, there is a note on the narrowness of some camping sites, indicating a potential consideration for those bringing larger setups.

What a magnificent place Heather and Louise have created. The views of the dam and trees are amazing. Beautiful fruit and herb garden. Great kayaks to use in the Dam. The bush kitchen is fab with everything you need and more. The verandah/undercover area is spectacular., looking over the dam and gardens. We loved every minute. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Quiet and peaceful , great space to
Perfect for a night away under the stars . We loved swimming in the dam and the dogs loved running around the property. The property is well set up with lots of spaces to camp and the camp kitchen and bathroom is great if you don't want to take all your camping equipment. We loved our overnight stay .

Peaceful, big retreat
Such a peaceful spot. I had the glamping tent site and you just need to bring your pillow and blankets! Fire pit provided and the owners let you scavenge for wood from the property. Definitely recommend!

Lovely spot. Was so quiet and we were lucky, the sky became clear and we counted lots of satellites as there’s no light pollution.

Beautiful Beyond Words
My family and I absolutely adore TerraLyra. It's an incredibly special place of relaxation, rejuvenation and healing for us all. The lake is absolutely beautiful, the facilities and amenities are top notch, and the Land offers so many wonders and beautiful camping sites. We love being able to have a fire and our tent city set up to reconnect and be together. Thank you Heather and Louise for all you offer at TerraLyra Sanctuary Retreat!
