Welcome to Grand Hinterland Retreat, a truly one-of-a-kind private holiday retreat set on five elevated acres in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Perched high above the landscape, the property offers sweeping panoramic views from the Hinterland mountains all the way to the Sunshine Coast coastline. Designed for couples who want to unwind, reconnect, and celebrate at a slower pace, the retreat features four large, separate dwellings arranged in a unique M-shape around a central lawn area - perfect for intimate ceremonies and relaxed celebrations. With five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and accommodation for up to 12 guests, Grand Hinterland Retreat is ideally suited to elopements and micro weddings of up to 20 people.
This three-night wedding experience allows you to truly soak in both the wedding and holiday atmosphere, celebrating with your nearest and dearest in total privacy. Exchange vows with bushland and mountain views as your backdrop, then enjoy an intimate dinner or cocktail-style gathering with fine food and drinks as the sun sets over the hinterland. Every detail is designed to create a relaxed yet luxurious wedding experience, where time slows down and every moment can be savoured with the people who matter most

We cannot recommend Sheryl highly enough! She made everything feel so easy and stress-free for our elopement. Sheryl was always one step ahead, handling every detail with care and keeping us calm and confident throughout the entire planning process. On the day itself, everything ran like clockwork – we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy every moment, knowing Sheryl had everything under control.
She truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her support and kindness. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding feel effortless and unforgettable, Sheryl is the one.
Thank you for everything, Sheryl – you were amazing!

My husband and I were married in September 2024 and the experience was made so easy because of Sheryl and her team. She was amazing through the whole process, working with us on finer details and making sure we were happy. My partner and I were so happy with how the whole day came together. I would recommend Sheryl 100 times over. I'm so glad we chose her and her team for our special day. Thank you so much Sheryl.
