Starry Nights Luxury Camping - OPENING SPECIAL

Upon arrival, guests receive a welcome platter with Australian organic sparkling wine.

Sitting gently beside the tumbling waters of Petrie Creek, and touching the earth lightly… Starry Nights Luxury Camping is surrounded by wilderness with fresh, clean air. Starry Nights is nestled in the tranquil forests of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and just over: 10 minutes to Montville and 20 minutes to Mooloolaba Beach. Each of our 75 sqm bespoke tents are set on the hillside with old recycled barn floorboards, hand carved stone basins and a cozy roaring wood fire. Each safari tent also has king sized beds with organic linen, flushing toilets and a hot steaming bath and shower. The beautiful guest lounge is a hub of laughter and new friendships. Your owners and hosts and allow only 2 bookings/groups at any one time ensuring your total privacy and a relaxing and peaceful retreat.

No one can really tell you what it is like to step inside one of Starry Nights luxury tents - you must feel it for yourself. Placed amongst native eucalypts and rolling hills, you’ll be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the forest.

Each safari tent is positioned so that it cannot be seen by guests in another tent. The tents are big (with over 75 sqm of floor space) and have a raw, earthy feeling and have these stunning features:
• old recycled barn floorboards and an elevated deck
• hand carved stone basins,
• a cozy roaring wood fire,
• pillow top king-sized beds with organic linen,
• a well-stocked kitchenette
• flushing toilets
• a hot steaming rain-head shower and a free-standing bath
• plush gowns

What’s it like in winter?
Once the giant window flaps are rolled down you can rest assured that you’ll be toasty. The fireplace can be rotated to face any direction in the tent, whether you want a soak in your steaming hot bath or snuggle in bed. Luxury bedding is provided including organic linen sheets and natural woolen blankets and rugs.

In summer you’ll be glad to know that all our tents are insulated. Being off the ground and with such large windows all around, they capture breezes from the surrounding forest. There are also 4 ceiling fans for any really warm days.

Starry Nights safari tents where designed and made by the owners – Shane and Nicole with the help of some friends, family and Shane’s father. From the cutting of the great steel frame to the crafting of the furniture was all done by Shane.

The hosts and owners have made sure that their tents have been made using natural building materials without harsh chemicals. The joists are kiln dried hardwood (not H3 treated pine). The floor is finished with a natural hard bees’ wax oil (not polyurethane). The kitchenette is made from solid wood (no plastics). The very sheets you sleep in, and donnas and rugs are either organic linen or natural wool fiber. They’ve incorporated all the design elements from a building biologist who has studied the tents and property.

What can we do each day?
At Starry Nights you can do as much or as little as you like.

For many of our guests, a stay at Starry Nights Luxury Camp is a well-earned chance to sleep in, on the plush pillow top king sized beds, enjoy a long lazy breakfast on the verandah with the paper, perhaps a couple of hours on the beach with a good book before heading back for an afternoon snooze or sitting under the stars. Or walk down to the tumbling waters of Petrie Creek. Take a walk along the track of our own little part of the Hinterland’s rainforest. For those who enjoy company, like-minded guests often gather around the guest lounge fireplace, for a drink, a chat and always lots of laughter.

For others, it is a base from which to get busy exploring the spectacular Sunshine Coast with its pristine beaches or hinterland with the award-winning national parks, and mountain villages like Montville, Mapelton and Maleny, a true playground for the outdoor enthusiast.
