The experience

Nothing on the agenda.
Everything to take in.

A view that keeps changing. Wildlife to watch for. A creek and seasonal waterfall to discover when conditions allow. At Worldsaway Retreat, choose time outdoors or a quiet day with nowhere else to be.

At Worldsaway

Start with the view.

Across 40 acres in Ocean View, Worldsaway looks towards the Glass House Mountains and the Moreton Bay region. Settle in with a morning coffee, take a book onto the deck or watch the light change across the hills.

Look a little closer

Planted with wildlife in mind.

Thousands of plants have been specifically planted at Worldsaway to attract wildlife, so there is always something to look at beyond the wider view.

Pause, listen and watch from a respectful distance. Sightings are never guaranteed. Please leave wildlife undisturbed and do not feed it.

No need to fill every hour

There is room to do less.

Bring a book, cook something simple and linger over a conversation. Spend an evening watching the sky, or put your phone away for a while and enjoy the quiet.

Your kind of time away

However you come, the setting does the work.

Couples

A cabin, a shared meal on the deck and nothing that needs doing. Two nights is plenty of time to slow down together.

Families

Space to explore, stars after dark and a campsite or cabin that suits how your family likes to stay.

Friends

Long conversations, simple food and a view to share, in a cabin or with your own setup at a campsite.

Rest & recharge

No Wi-Fi and no TV, so bring a book, watch the light change and let the days find their own pace.

For a more active day

Trails, a creek and a seasonal waterfall.

Our bush trails cross steep, uneven ground. Grass is generally mowed when weather permits. Avoid the trails in wet weather, when rocks and ground can become slippery. Bring suitable footwear and check conditions before heading out.

Nearby waterfalls

Falls Lookout Track at Mount Mee offers views of Bulls Falls and the surrounding valleys. Queensland Parks recommends access by 4WD or trail bike only.

Before you head out

How difficult are the trails?

They cross steep, uneven ground, and you should be physically fit to walk them. You can still enjoy the views and quiet moments without doing a hike.

Will the waterfall be flowing during our stay?

Not necessarily. The waterfall is seasonal, so flow depends on conditions.

Can we walk the trails in wet weather?

Bushwalking is not advised in wet weather because of the steepness, slippery rocks and ground conditions.

Are nearby outings booked through Worldsaway?

No. Ocean View Estates and national park outings are independent, so check their current information and any booking requirements directly.

Make a few days of it.

Choose a cabin, bring your camping setup or plan time away with your people.
