Welcome to Grand Hinterland Retreat, a private holiday escape set on five elevated acres, with sweeping views across the Sunshine Coast Hinterland to the coastline.
Four separate dwellings form a distinctive M-shape around a central lawn, creating a beautiful setting for an intimate ceremony and relaxed celebration. With five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, the retreat accommodates up to 12 staying guests and welcomes weddings of up to 20 people, including the couple.
Enjoy a three-night wedding escape with time to settle in, connect with your favourite people and savour the celebrations. Exchange vows against a backdrop of bushland and mountains, then gather for an intimate dinner or cocktail-style reception as the sun sets over the hinterland.
Private, spacious and quietly luxurious, Grand Hinterland Retreat offers room to slow down and make your wedding feel like a holiday.
With your own dedicated wedding planner, you’ll feel supported from the moment you secure your date. We’ll guide you through the decisions, connect you with our trusted local suppliers and coordinate the details to create a celebration that feels like you.
On your wedding day, we’ll be on site, quietly bringing everything together and keeping the day flowing smoothly so you can settle in, be present and celebrate with the people you love.
