Imagine kangaroos nibbling the lawn outside the front of your tent, spending the night in a hand-crafted cedar cottage, or indulging in a vegetarian meal that celebrates fresh local produce.
Here on the Sunshine Coast, eco-friendly accommodation combines high-quality hospitality and unique moments in nature to create unforgettable experiences that nurture our pristine environment.
Camp in style
Skip the drama of pitching your own tent and opt for the cosy, forest setting of Starry Nights Luxury Camping. You’ll find green touches across this gorgeous accommodation – from the recycled barn floorboards, through to the gorgeous handmade tents. At Ingenia Holidays Rivershore, you’ll get to combine a love of the outdoors with quirky digs like a sparkling silver Airstream (one for the ‘gram!). Meanwhile, native fauna and scenic walking tracks abound at Habitat Noosa Everglades Eco Camp, located on the shores of Lake Cootharaba.
Retreat to luxury
A passion for the environment is at the heart of The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, which pays homage to the original Wildlife Warrior, Steve Irwin. Get up close to nature at Mayan Luxe Villas, which have been crafted from the farm’s rammed earth and tastefully decorated with antique furniture, or surround yourself in the unique setting at Glasshouse Mountains Ecolodge, where you can spend the night in a restored Victorian train carriage.
Green for the Hinterland
Sustainable touches abound amongst the chic finishes of your prefabricated, modular cabin at Scandi Maleny. Better yet, from the moment you book your stay, you’ll be making a difference: for each booking, the team donates 50 meals to Oz Harvest Sunshine Coast. Down the road in Montville, the gardens at Lovestone Cottages are a trove of past treasures and spectacular fruit trees, while at Kondalilla Eco Resort, stunning forest views provide a tranquil backdrop for a vegetarian meal at the onsite restaurant.
Close to the Coast
Soak up the tranquillity in a handcrafted cedar cottage at Lake Weyba Cottages, where you’ll be set to enjoy days of canoeing, fishing, and mountain biking. At Glen Eden Beach Resort, the ocean is only a few steps from your accommodation, and climate action is front of mind for the team. Alternatively, spend the night in an eco-luxe Yurt at Noosa Eco Retreat, which boasts sweeping views of the surrounding Hinterland. Turning the car south, you’ll find Motel Caloundra, which is making a name for itself as the Sunshine Coast’s first net zero energy hotel. Here, sustainable touches like organic cotton sheets and toiletries will keep both you and the environment happy.
