About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sunshine Coast Hinterland Country Retreat

GG's Ranch & Retreat is a magical property steeped in history. Formerly a dairy farm & brahman stud, this beautiful location provides the ultimate in peace & tranquility, central to all offerings of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Your accommodation comprises beautifully renovated original pioneer cottages built from timbers cut from the land. Every modern luxury is included.

Enter via a private road past spring fed waterways.

Our dream was to create perfect embodiment of rustic nostalgia and clean, crisp elegance. Original stables, outhouses and cattle yards dot the property and remain the central theme, but no modern luxury is lacking.

Sit on the deck, stroll through the paddocks and winding dirt roads, throw a blanket on to the lush green grass. As evening approaches, gather by the fire pit for warm conversations as peals of laughter drift upwards to the stars in the inky black sky. There is no city light to diminish the night's' beauty here.

One weekend here is not enough, nor just one visit. This property and the beautiful people that invite you to experience it welcome you and yours, and it's their hope that you will return time and again whenever the need arises for a wonderful escape.

GG's Ranch and Retreat provides the perfect peaceful haven from the reality of every day life!

Two adjoining cottages feature wide timber decks overlooking the beautiful tree lined waterways teeming with a multitude of birdlife. A large outdoor fire-pit is yours to enjoy and the perfect spot to share a glass of wine and conversation at the end of the day.

Fresh country air is perfect for a sleep in but we suggest rising early to pull up a seat on the porch couch with a hot cuppa to watch the wildlife wake, kookaburras, geese, ducks and if you're lucky you may spot our resident wallabies and platypus.

The cottage interiors have been lovingly restored featuring a mixture of reclaimed timber with modern features.

The front cottage enjoys open plan living and fully equipped kitchen, cozy lounge and gorgeous timber feature wall. The new bathroom features a spacious shower and a gorgeous antique basin reminiscent of an era past. Its main bedroom features comfy king size bed facing a picture window overlooking the pond.

The interconnected two storey second cottage hosts the second and third bedrooms, the upstairs loft queen bedroom with its own longe area, bathroom and balcony and downstairs with super comfy 'Koala' queen bed. Downstairs also features its own kitchenette, dining and lounge area.

The combination of spaces offers plenty of room to mingle and share time together as well as every opportunity to escape for individual privacy.

Your year round comfort is ensured with reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans.

The accommodation suits 6 people over 3 queen/king beds
Rates are for 4 people plus $60 per person per night for each additional guest to a maximum of 6 people. Guest numbers are strictly limited to 6 and additional guests are not permitted without prior consent.

I love the log style cabin, it was a mixture of modern but kept the original features such as the doors and furniture. The place was so peaceful, we enjoyed sitting by the fire and being outdoors!

Quaint, charming, rustic and secluded
An amazing spot for the family just to reconnect. We experienced country welcome in spades, and the rustic charm of the property was only enhanced with the thrill of meeting the horses and the challenge of lighting the beautiful outdoor fire pit. Favourite moments- 6am coffee on the front deck hearing the birds, and toasting marshmallows whilst recalling memories. Can't wait to get back there! Thank you!!

Just beautiful
Highly recommend staying here if you want peace and quiet. The hosts, Tony and Cas, are just the most accommodating and friendly people. The cottage was perfect and had everything we needed. We just sat out on the verandah most of the time, reading and didn't even turn on the TV for the 4 days we were there. Our dogs loved it too. We will definitely be back and we might even bring our horses too. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for a wonderful Xmas break.

Perfect place to relax
The log cabin was beautiful, heaps of space with the main house and a separate area for our 2 teenage girls. The cabin has everything you need for a very relaxing few days away from the city. Camp fire by night , BBQ and full kitchen for meals and a lovely large deck to sit and read. Perfect place if you have a dog, they can spend the day exploring, meet the horses and even swim in the creeks. Anthony and Cas are great hosts and are there if you need them. We would definitely love to go back and take some friends.

A real rustic getaway
The property is internally modernised log shack with the original logs still showing on the outside and internal features. Comfy beds and couches, including on the verandahs. We enjoyed looking out to the pond watching the birds. Lovely place to spend a few days.

Weekend Escape
We absolutely loved staying at this beautifully renovated log cabin with it's wonderful view over the dam with all the birds. We got to meet the beautiful horses and feed them carrots with the owner Cass. Then it was up to feed the 2 lovely Brahman's. Our dogs loved the complete freedom. Tony & Cass were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back.

Lovely Ranch stay with the family
My family and I had a lovely stay at GGs Ranch and Retreat. Our hosts were welcoming and gave us a great run down of the interesting history of the place. We enjoyed chatting to Caz and Tony very much. We highly recommend the horse lessons, being able to interact with those gorgeous mamals was an added benefit that topped off our weekend nicely 👌 🐴🐎
