To make it easy to embrace the slower pace of life and create lasting memories packed with country charm, we’ve pulled together a list of the best farm stays on the Sunshine Coast. Trust us, a ‘haycation’ never looked so good!
Kookaburra Park
Guinea pig experience at Kookaburra Park, Kenilworth, Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Good for: kids who love animals
For a spot that’ll rocket to the top of your kids’ holiday wish list, check out Kookaburra Park. Not only will you be within easy driving distance of popular Hinterland townships like Kenilworth, but you’ll also have a chance to cuddle guinea pigs, say g’day to the resident deer, and hit their ‘Jurassic Trail’ through the valley for some stunning countryside vistas.
Mayan Farm Villas
Mayan Luxe Villas, Kin Kin, Noosa Hinterland
Good for: luxurious stay in the Noosa Hinterland
Mayan Farm is the stomping ground for some seriously luxurious villas in the Noosa Hinterland. You won’t get much closer to the land here; after all, these villas have been crafted from local rammed earth. Expect to cocoon yourself in the bubbles of the open-air bathtub, descend into a sparkling plunge pool overlooking the rolling Kin Kin hills, and treat yourself to woodfired pizzas as cows wander the paddocks beyond.
Seven Peaks Farm Stay
Seven Peaks Farm Stay, Beerwah, Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Good for: views of the Glass House Mountains
For a glimpse of the Sunshine Coast’s iconic Glass House Mountains, take a drive out to Beerwah, where Seven Peaks Farm Stay awaits. With mountain views peeking through the windows of your self-contained cabin and lots of spots to explore across the property (plus farm animals to greet!), it won’t take you long to fall in love with your surroundings.
Sixty6 Acres
Good for: loads to do onsite
If magnesium pools, an onsite restaurant and farmyard animals to meet sounds right up your street (or should we say, country lane), then don’t miss a chance to spend some time at Sixty6 Acres in Woombye. Perched on the doorsteps of both the coast and Hinterland, this central stay will set you up for easy access to some of the area’s most iconic spots.
Thirlestane Farm
Family at Thirlestane Farm, Cooroy, Noosa Hinterland
Good for: scenic family escape
You’ll find it hard to believe Thirlestane Farm is just over a 30-minute drive from Noosa Heads Main Beach. Located in Cooroy, this spot has got all the fixings for a memorable family escape. The renovated property sleeps up to eight guests and features a wood fired pizza oven, an alfresco tub on an enclosed patio, and perhaps most importantly... adorable Highland Cows. It’s the country escape you’ve been dreaming of.
Whispering Valley Cottage Retreat
Good for: classic countryside vibes
Unplug and disconnect from the bustle of daily life with an escape to Maleny’s Whispering Valley Cottage Retreat. Top of the list? Heading out to see the donkeys and cows, collecting seasonal lemons and avocados from the property, and setting up a picnic by the dam. Finish up a day of outdoor fun by the kicking back in front of your cottage’s log fireplace.
Now that you’re ready to pop on your out of office and head to the farm, all that remains is booking your stay. For even more Sunshine Coast farm stay inspiration, we’ve got a jam-packed guide right here.
