The great escape

Cabin and cottage accommodation provides a truly special vacation experience – regardless of whether you’re escaping to the beach or the rainforest. They’re the perfect option for travellers looking to explore Queensland’s stunning natural wildlife and landscape without sacrificing creature comforts or a roof over your head. Enjoy stunning surroundings without having to give up your private bathroom, well-stocked kitchen, air-conditioning and any other little luxuries we look forward to when travelling. Put simply, cabins and cottages provide the best of both worlds.

From quaint, coastal beach cottages through to secluded log cabins in the bush, there are Queensland cabins and cottages for every traveller and every budget. Plus, they’re private – allowing families, couples and individuals peace and quiet and time to themselves. Accommodation without daily disruptions or the stress of everyday life. 

Indulge in local activities, landscapes and picturesque settings, with nature walks, hiking, picnics or a swim. It’s a relaxing, comfortable and freeing accommodation solution – immerse yourself and take advantage of it! While you’ll find cabins and cottages dotted throughout Queensland, there’s a high volume of interest (and places to stay) around the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. Brisbane may be the capital of our Sunshine State, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a massive variety of memorable cabins, cottages and lodges waiting for you nearby! 

Just a step away from Brisbane you’ll find some of the most unique accommodation experiences that Queensland has to offer, whether it’s the on-site brewery of Granite Belt Brewery Retreat or the quirky Mouse House Retreat chalets in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Be sure to check out our guide for a weekend escape to cabins and cottages near Brisbane.

Cottages & Cabins on the Sunshine Coast

So you’re not looking for an outback camping adventure... but still want to experience some stunning Queensland landscapes? There’s a variety of both locations and types of Sunshine Coast cabins, cottages and lodges. 

Looking for a beachside experience in Alexandra Headland or a getaway in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland? There’s something for everyone. From budget, heritage cottages in Montville through to the modern, luxurious, floor-to-ceiling glass window cabins in Glass House Mountains.

Cottages & Cabins on the Gold Coast

Much like the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast offers a ton more than famed sandy beaches. In as little as 30 minutes’ drive from the coast, you’ll find lush hinterland, picturesque hills and unmatched rainforest landscapes. 

Whether you’re looking to take advantage of the action-packed (or indulgent-filled) and family-friendly O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat or you just want an affordable escape from the daily grind, there’s a variety of Gold Coast cabin and cottage accommodation options.
