Mt Barney Retreat
Boonah, Scenic Rim Area

Mt Barney Retreat is a true wilderness retreat, set into the foothills of the World Heritage Listed Scenic Rim region and surrounded by natural bush and 18,000 hectares of Mt Barney National Park. Magnificent views, a private and tranquil location, crisp clear nights...it really doesn't get any better that this! Located an easy two hour drive from Brisbane. Escape to nature, as nature is meant to be.

The Retreat provides facilities which are simple, functional and sustainable. They offer three dormitory style cabins, an area for camping and a fully functional kitchen and dining hall. They are not designed for a jam packed experience: bookings are kept deliberately low.

They are indeed fortunate to be surrounded by national park, and adjacent to some of the most spectacular walks in a pristine world heritage wilderness area. Located at 750 metres above sea level, this gives guests unrivalled and fast access to the mountains of the Focal Peak caldera, the remnants of an ancient range of volcanoes and to the Gondwana rainforests. There are some very easy walks that are ideal for leisurely stroll through the forest. These walks take about 30 minutes and start and finish at the camping ground.
