Experiences
What can we do each day?
For many of our guests, a stay at Starry Nights Luxury Camp is a chance to sleep in, on the plush pillow top king sized beds, enjoy a long lazy breakfast on the verandah with the paper, perhaps a couple of hours on the beach with a good book before heading back for an afternoon snooze and then relaxing under the stars. Or walk down to Petrie Creek, or along the track of our own little part of the Hinterland’s rainforest. For those who enjoy company, guests often gather around the guest lounge fireplace, for a drink, and to share experiences.
For others, it is a base from which to get busy exploring the spectacular Sunshine Coast with its pristine beaches or hinterland with the award-winning national parks, and mountain villages like Montville, Mapelton and Maleny, a true playground for the outdoor enthusiast.

Kondalilla falls and famous rock pool
Kondalilla Falls (80m) is one of the most spectacular and accessible falls on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

You can swim in the rock pools at both the top and bottom of the falls.
Kondalilla National Park
Just behind the Sunshine Coast, in the scenic Blackall Range, Kondalilla National Park is a cool mountain retreat. The park is named after the spectacular Kondalilla Falls, where Skene Creek drops 90m into a rainforest valley.
Kondalilla, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘rushing waters’, describes this park’s waterfall during the summer wet season.
