FarmStay Yurt Retreat
Treat you and your fave one to a romantic Sunshine Coast hinterland stay with a difference—and get not one, but two, outdoor baths thrown in for good measure. FarmStay Yurt Retreat is a charming glamping experience where you can get stuck into life on a small working farm, and yet you get to snooze on a proper queen bed tucked away in your private yurt once the sun goes down. Bliss.
Pack your comfy shoes because there are mountain trails to explore here, and for an additional fee you can take part in a proper farming experience (we’re talking about learning the art of beekeeping, sheep-tending and more).
Your yurt comes with a lovely entertaining deck, with a barbecue and undercover kitchen area for whipping up a snack, plus a fire pit to gather around later in the day. The best bit? The separate indoor/outdoor bathroom with its two tempting green tubs where a spot of soaking and champagne-sipping is just the thing to do.

Pethers Rainforest Retreat
Pethers is a secluded retreat set in five hectares of pristine sub-tropical rainforest in Queensland. It’s adults only, although you may find yourself sharing space with local wallabies, echidnas and possums that call this part of the world home.
Accommodation is limited to ten stunning private tree houses, featuring timber floors, a private spa, gas fire and five-metre tall glass windows and doors, allowing you to enjoy the outside view 24/7. If you’re staying with a larger group, Pethers House is prime, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large lounge and dining space, indoor fireplace and a sprawling outdoor deck. There’s an award-winning restaurant here too, and massages, facials and body treatments are only a phone call away. For the seriously romantic, you can upgrade your stay with champagne, candles, rose petals too.
