Our story

Made for a more grounded kind of escape.

How one global traveller built a quiet place in the hills of Ocean View, with a long view of the Glass House Mountains.

The person behind the place

Built from the earth up.

An eco-cabin with a curved roof over its deck, on a green slope above the forest

Worldsaway was built from the earth up by Dean Sullivan, a global traveller whose experiences helped shape the retreat. It is the culmination of his life’s work: a natural place to rest, relax and unwind.

His invitation is straightforward: come, stay and spend time here in your own way.

In Dean’s words

“Peace and quiet only comes when you are at peace, in quiet.”
Dean Sullivan, Worldsaway Owner

The setting

The place comes first.

The property from above: buildings and a winding drive among thick green forest

Across 40 acres in Ocean View, Queensland, Worldsaway looks towards the Glass House Mountains and Moreton Bay. The two purpose-built eco-cabins and three campsites were placed to make the most of it.

Worldsaway is not a luxury resort. The comforts are practical, and the setting is the attraction.

Care for the setting

A place that keeps growing.

A green canopy of trees, opening onto distant peaks and white clouds

Thousands of plants have been specifically planted at Worldsaway to attract wildlife. This planting is a tangible part of the care behind the retreat, and it gives you something closer to notice alongside the wider views.

Wildlife comes and goes on its own terms, so please watch from a respectful distance.
