Bohemian Bungalow If you think the only reason to go to Eumundi is to take the market tour, you’re wrong. Located in the quaint town of Eumundi, The Boho as the name suggests, is a quintessential Queensland bungalow, with cool breezes that flow gently through the white louvered windows on hot summer days.

We are fortunate to have one of the Coast's most beautiful and family-friendly mountains right in our backyard! Mount Coolum is stunning first thing in the morning before the heat, but no matter what time of day you make the climb, you will be well rewarded with 360 degree views of the breathtaking beaches and rolling hinterland hills. The Mount Coolum walking track is accessed from the corner of Tanah Street West and Jarnahill Drive - approx 10 minutes drive from The Shack.

Mt Ninderry is 304 metres high and is considered an easy to moderate climb but I would have to say, as a local walking this track that it's more on the moderate scale for any novice bushwalker. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the top and the views truly are amazing. It's approx a 10 minute drive from The Shack a the end of Ninderry Road

Take a scenic drive to Wappa Dam — it’s a lovely picnic spot under the shade of pine trees, overlooking the dam. The views across the dam are picture perfect and a great space for the kids to run around and play in the playground. Visit after heavy rain to watch the water spill over the dam edge. Wappa falls is a beautiful deep swimming hole but please take note of the signs as it can be quite dangerous when the waters are really flowing.
