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’.

Nice location but some improvements needed
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.

Beautiful house and property
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!

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.

Great family trip at Little Mountain
The house was so lovely and had everything we needed plus some little extra's we were not expecting but truly appreciated. not having to pack towels and linen was an added bonus. The view from every window is truly spectacular and relaxing. Trees and sky was our view for two days and I felt totally refreshed after spending the weekend at Little Mountain. Thank you to the owners for hosting our thoroughly enjoyable weekend. We will be back very soon.

A wonderful place tucked in amongst the trees
Amazing property to stay at! Loved the timber doors and deck. Bbq-ed and dined outside, was perfect. Very tidy property and nice and private...just right for us. Kitchen has quality cookware (Scanpan) and the pantry essentials was a welcome surprise (foil, cooking paper, sauces, oils, rice, pasta). Aptly sized fridge freezer for a homestay. The only disappointments were the bath (let down on size) and the showers (had low pressure). Loved the room sprays and showering sets in the bathrooms though so have ordered some for our home! A great place to stay, a credit to you Rachael. Thank you for your hospitality.

Everything you need
This place is very well equipped even for a young family. Had board games and Netflix provided so lots of entertainment if needed. There's even roo food! Yes, we saw kangaroos everyday. The property was clean and the high quality fittings and appliances was actually surprising. The slight negative for us was the main bedroom bed was touch soft, but can't fault as this is a personal preference. The bed was not sagging. As for the location, it wasn't far from the main hub of Caloundra, we actually prefer to not be right in the centre. There is slight road noise during the day, but it wasn't an issue at night and didn't disturb our sleep. Very happy with our stay and would stay again in the future.

Hidden Gem
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…….
