Top Sunshine Coast Hinterland Hotel Reviews

Kanimbia Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Absolute best stay of my 4week holiday up east coast Australia. Finally found a great location as described with personal space, solitude, and awesome cottage with nice view and very friendly birds. Property manager was superb with following through with query I had with a booking agency to ensure my query with them was resolved. Nice nearby walks in NP and nice property walks. Just wish I found this gem earlier. Now looking forward to multi-return visit soon. Highly recommend to those who appreciate nature, quiet, personal space, quality dwelling, security. This is from a biologist who is now done with trying to camp in national parks that try to squish as many people together as they can to the point where you quickly realise what is the point. Full 10/10 endorsement from me."
