Thank you so much for providing such an amazing property. It was such a lovely surprise to open the fridge and find the delicious foods from your region. Your house is well appointed and gave us five women. Plenty of room to spread out, we had a well earned relaxing weekend. It was just a shame that the weather didn’t allow us to use your facilities to the fullest. looking forward to returning to your home one-day, thank you for the experience, Virginia 😊

Home in Warana
5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsCoastal Luxury Playa Casa Escape
Wonderful place to stay. Ultra modern with 2 separate areas to be able to watch movies/TV. Each room has its own aircon, and the kitchen has everything you would need. We loved that it was 5min walk to get coffee and to the off leash dog beach area. Cory was very responsive and replied straight away, we loved our stay and would be more than happy to stay again in the future.

Home in Ilkley
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsEuropean style stay on the Sunshine Coast
Jayne's place is lovely, don't hesitate to book. So peaceful and full of thoughtful touches. Big fluffy blankets for the sofas, plenty of towels, bathrooms well stocked with everything you could need. Jayne has even thought of providing sunscreen everywhere you might need it & mozzie coils and bug spray for the outdoor spaces. The views are beautiful, such a peaceful and restorative stay.
Home in Sandstone Point
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviewsHidden Gem! Beautiful Home/Pool - Sandstone Point
Slav's place is a fantastic setup and quiet oasis within easy reach of everything on Bribie, and very handy to Sandstone Point Hotel and all it offers. As someone who lives in the property when not listed, Slav's got great style and touch both indoors and outdoors which resonated exactly with how we live and like to holiday with our two dogs. Loved spending lots of time in the pool and on the pool lounges with its beautiful garden making us feel like we were on a tropical island somewhere. All the mod cons were there that we needed. Excellent communicator. Would definitely stay here again.
Your guide to Mount Glorious
Welcome to Mount Glorious
The hamlet of Mount Glorious sits high above the coastal plains of southeast Queensland, in the rainforest and bushland of the dramatic D’Aguilar mountain range. The settlement of around 300 people borders the southern section of D’Aguilar National Park, making it a great base for exploring this natural wonderland. The national park extends across a series of rugged mountains from the outskirts of Brisbane past Mount Glorious and north to Lake Somerset, a lovely spot for fishing and water sports.
The little village consists of a cute community hall, one café, and timber houses set back behind low fences along the narrow road through the mountains. A couple of side streets branch off the winding main road, leading to a few more houses spread out among the trees. You won’t come to Mount Glorious for the nightlife — there isn’t any, unless you bring a flashlight to spot nocturnal native animals. Instead you’ll stay to enjoy the crisp mountain air and to venture out to the many nearby rainforest trails and mountain-top lookouts.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Mount Glorious
While Mount Glorious is only an hour away from subtropical Brisbane, its high altitude keeps it cool and misty even when the Queensland capital is baking. Midsummer days in Mount Glorious are around as pleasantly warm as early spring in Brisbane. Note that along with the relatively cooler temperatures of summer comes heavy rain at times, with downpours most likely from January to March. If you plan to do a lot of bushwalking through D’Aguilar National Park, you’ll find late winter and early spring to be the ideal combination of cool and dry. Being so close to a major city, weekends tend to be busy in these mountains. Motorcyclists in particular flock to the area to take on the switchbacks and steep ascents of Mount Glorious Road.
Top things to do in Mount Glorious
Greenes Falls Track
From the Maiala picnic area just outside of Mount Glorious, this track cuts through swathes of rainforest filled with towering strangler fig trees and ferns to a lookout above a waterfall cascading over mossy rocks. It’s a two-hour return walk along a mix of boardwalks and dirt tracks that’s mostly uphill on the way back.
Cedar Creek rock pools
From the town of Mount Glorious, a series of mountain streams combine to become Cedar Creek, which then flows downhill towards the coast. The meandering creek pools into serene swimming holes at several nearby spots, including at Andy Williams Park, a 15-minute drive from town.
Manorina walking tracks
Between Mount Glorious and the other main village of Mount Nebo there are some great walking tracks leading into the national park. At Manorina, less than 10 minutes’ drive from Mount Glorious, the short Atrax circuit through cabbage-tree palms connects to the two-hour Morelia track, which takes you through rainforest and eucalyptus forests to lookouts with views out to the coast.
