Little Mountain Retreat – Where the Bush meets the Beach
The Beach or the Bush? Now you can have the best of both worlds when you stay at ‘Little Mountain Retreat’. Hidden away at the top of a winding driveway you will find a modern take on the quintessential Queensland cottage. This bespoke home offers the ideal spot to relax and recharge, yet at the same time is only 5.5kms from the beautiful beaches, restaurants and shops of Caloundra and all the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland has to offer.
Inside the home, you'll find a spacious, light and bright open plan living/dining space adjoining the unique chef's kitchen, with its timber bench top, statement splashback, stainless steel appliances and a ceramic Butler's sink. With beautiful polished cypress floors, handcrafted timber joinery and cabinetry, this home is comfortable and relaxing.
After a hard day at the beach or enjoying one of the many local attractions, relax with a cool drink or two on the covered veranda overlooking 2.5 acres of private bush reserve. Kangaroos come to graze on the lawns right at the house while Kookaburras laugh in the trees as the sun sets over the ridge. As night falls feel right at home in the 1000 thread count linens and warm doona.
With a comfortable second bedroom and second bathroom, there is room for all the family or friends, and for that extra occasion there is a deluxe double fold out sofa in the lounge. Both bedrooms and the lounge room also have split system air-conditioning units for your added comfort.
Please Note - We have a strict no party policy nor is the house available to ‘schoolies’.

Lovely quiet little place. Driveway bit scary first time haha had everything you needed for a home away from home. Close enough to everything you need beach shopping food etc.
We enjoyed everything about this property, the cleanliness, the facilities, location everything was perfect. The views, the beds!! It gelt like home. Highly recommend.
Had a lovely family weekend staycation of 5A+1C in this lil retreat tucked away in peaceful green surroundings! Waking up to breakfast at the deck was special! Full amenities provided, complete just as one were to be at home! Couldn't have asked for more!
The main bed was unusable and in urgent need of a new mattress, we slept on the couch. Good location and surrounded by bush with kangaroos and birds. House was clean and well setup.
Little Mountain Retreat was a very relaxing and homely place to stay at. We had everything we needed in the house, and it was very beautifully presented. We loved the feeling of being amongst the trees and seeing the kangaroos and birds, while also being so close to shops and restaurants, the beach, and the hinterland. Rachel was so lovely to communicate with and answered all our questions. We would highly recommend this lovely home to anyone travelling to the Sunshine Coast, and would definitely come back!

Looking for a Christmas getaway where the only jingle you’ll hear is kangaroos hopping around? This place delivered! It was so peaceful you could hear the festive cheer of silence. The house was spotlessly prepared, like Santa’s elves had swung by before us.
The best part? When our water decided to take a holiday too, the owners swooped in like Christmas superheroes and fixed it on Christmas Day! Talk about dedication—Santa could learn a thing or two from them.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting a mix of serenity, wildlife, and a landlord more reliable than Rudolph’s GPS!

Little House on the hill
Well presented little house with everything you may need. Very steep driveway which was overgrown.
Don't recommend arriving after dark. Still a good drive away from the beach (10-15 mins). Not as comfortable as we had hoped as far the bed and sheets went. A neighbour's barking dog and traffic noises meant it wasn't as quiet as we had hoped. Everything was in good working order.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here for a family holiday on Sunshine Coast. It made for a beautiful place to begin and end our days exploring local beaches and australia zoo
Thank you
This was a dream property. It was utterly delightful. So well maintained and with everything you might need. The information files were fantastic. Just be aware the drive is very steep. We loved every minute here and we had planned to stay here longer.
What a brilliant week! Perfect setting, amazing house, had everything we needed! Was convenient for everything we came to do!

Loved our stay here. Great location, close to everything but tucked away from the hustle & bustle.
The house is fantastic, could not fault it. All of the little extras throughout the property made our stay so much easier with two small children.
Highly recommend
We all really enjoyed our extra long weekend at Little Mountain Retreat.The property was amazing we loved all the comfortable finishing touches which made our stay so much enjoyable. Beautiful views highly recommend, the place catered to all our needs. Our host was helpful and received great communication, nothing was a problem.
It was just the most relaxing short break away. The location was perfect, a short drive to all the beaches. Was peaceful sitting in the deck enjoying a quiet drink of an afternoon, lots of bird life & seen a couple wallabies too. This place had everything you could ever need, home away from home. 5 star ⭐️ all the way…….
Could not fault our stay in this house,Perfect location,
from the verandah to the kitchen,which had everthing.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and exceptional,and Rachel our host was very accomodating.
If we didnt have tours organised,could have quite easily stayed at home and watched the view,
Would definitely stay here again.
