SCROLL
Whether you’re visiting for Pranafest or simply craving a reset, this 48‑hour itinerary blends nature, nourishment, and mindful moments across the Moreton Bay Hinterland region. Think slow mornings, grounding landscapes, wholesome food, and eco-friendly stays that help you reconnect with yourself.
DAY 1 — ARRIVE, UNWIND & SETTLE INTO NATURE
Start your wellness escape in one of the region’s most charming villages, Samford or Dayboro and ease into the Hinterland flow. Grab a slow coffee, wander the local shops, or take a gentle stroll along the Samford Village Green or Dayboro Heritage Trail. Let the shift from city pace to hinterland calm begin.
Before the day picks up, take a moment to ground yourself:
If you’re basing yourself in the Hinterland, stop into Green Haven Stall, off the D’Aguilar Highway for fresh, local produce and products that embody the heart and soul of this region.
If you’re attending Pranafest, drive to Woodfordia.
Arrive early, check in, and explore the festival grounds. Woodfordia’s natural amphitheatres, lakes, and forest pockets set the tone for a weekend of connection.
If not, extend your Hinterland journey. Head deeper into the mountains toward Mount Mee for a nature rich afternoon.
Find yourself a nourishing meal and check-into Ocean View Estates, your grounding base for the next two days. Think cozy cottages, spas, fireplaces, and acres of vineyards and bushland. Ah, the serenity.
Start your day with gentle sunrise flow at your accommodation, then head to Mount Mee and D’Aguilar National Park opting for the Piccabeen Walk, weaving through the beautiful mix of eucalypt and subtropical rainforest.
For lunch, head back to Ocean View Estates, dining on a deliciously nourishing menu that caters to all dietaries (wine optional, of course).
After lunch, head back to your cozy cottage, settle in with your favourite book and let them views melt any remaining tension away.
Cook yourself something divine with your locally sourced produce and products from Green Haven Stall and settle into the quiet of the night by your fireplace.
After you wake to birdsong and fresh air, take it slow before heading down the range to Caboolture for a grounding and nourishing breakfast at Shapeshifter Café.
From here, you can make your way home, or continue your wellness journey through Moreton Bay, basing yourself seaside at Bribie Island.
Either way, you’ll be departing feeling rested, reconnected and recharged.
Discover the hidden gems and sun-soaked adventures waiting for you in Moreton Bay. Just up the road from Brisbane, our region is where the coast meets hinterland adventure, and the laid-back Queensland lifestyle takes centre stage.
